HEALTHY LIFESTYLES


Healthy eating tips including :


  • Use fat free milk or even better try soy or other organic milks instead of cow’s milk.
  • Drink 100% juices.
  • Eat whole grains instead of white breads and pasta.
  • Skinless chicken, turkey and fish in place of the usual red meat at dinnertime.
  • Have a piece of fruit and something whole grain for breakfast.
  • Avoid frying foods ( try grilling instead ).
  • Use appropriate portion sizes ( approx 4 ounces is a good average size portion of meat or approximately the size of the palm of your hand ).
  • Avoid excess sugars ( sugar hides in unexpected places like condiments ).
  • Drink plenty of fluids such as water and natural teas.
  • Look for unrefined fats such as nuts, avocado, soy, nuts etc.
  • Use natural herbs to increase flavor of foods instead of just adding salt.
Common factors that often lead to unhealthy lifestyles later in life :

Smoking.
Smoking can cause stroke, heart disease, lung cancer, and many other diseases.

Diet.
Variety of diets available, proper nutrition such as fruits, vegetables, vitamins, minerals, and other important food groups are often left out of one’s daily menu. The lack of proper nutrition can lead not only to obesity but also to cardiovascular conditions, diabetes, vitamin deficiency which can result in eye diseases, and a host of other ailments all of which can reduce the quality of life for those affected.

Exercise.
Many individuals have not even begun to realize the impact a lack of exercise will have on them later in life. Living a sedentary lifestyle invites a host of diseases which can decrease one’s longevity and increase the chances of developing serious conditions.

Stress.
Stress is probably the most insidious condition of all. High blood pressure, heart attacks, and other related diseases are caused by stress. It is analogous to a train going 200 miles per hour when suddenly the brakes fail and there is a major collision. That collision causes the breakdown of the body and the nervous system. Its impact reverberates for years to come.
