| 10
ways to maintain a healthy lifestyle … |
| 1.
Eat more nutritious high fiber foods. Include an abundance
of colorful vegetables and other high fiber foods, such
as beans, fresh fruit, nuts, and whole grains. |
| 2.
Reduce and balance your fat intake. Keep fat calories
under 30%. The vast majority of the fats you eat should
be good healthy essential fatty acids and omega 3. |
| 3.
Drink plenty of pure clean water. Water is an essential
nutrient that helps you digest food, transport nutrients
and get rid of toxins. Replace other drinks with water. |
| 4.
Exercise moderately and sensibly. A brisk daily walk in
better than strenuous high impact aerobics. Also, light
weight training helps keep your bones strong. |
| 5.
Cut way down on refined carbohydrates. High glycemic index
foods are a nutritional nightmare, giving you a burst
of energy one minutes and a bout of fatigue the next.
They take your emotions on a roller coaster ride to end
up at depression and irritability. |
| 6.
Limit your sodium intake. Too much salt throws your minerals
off balance, causes excess water retention and possibly
high blood pressure. |
| 7.
Eliminate negative habits. Give up excess caffeine and
other stimulants, reduce your alcohol intake and, if you
smoke, quit. |
| 8.
Reach and maintain your optimum weight. Both overweight
and yo-yo weight loss can put stress and strain on your
body. Rather than relying on diet pills and crash fad
diets, it’s best to finally get it right once and
for all with healthy eating habits, moderate exercise
and a good healthy lifestyle. |
| 9.
Take high quality whole food supplements. Optimum amounts
of vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients and essential fatty
acids can help you feel etter, prevent disease and slow
down aging. So add high quality whole food supplements
to your daily menu. |
| 10.
Manage the stress in your life. Take whatever steps necessary
to reduce stress and create a balanced life that works.
Make up your mind to appreciate the good things in your
life and be happy. |
