Healthier Lifestyle
We all wish to stay healthy in order to stay young and enjoy doing things we are passionate about. Some of us are however quite doubtful about what should be the healthy lifestyle; like what we should be eating and what we should not. I have covered some areas of certain food to avoid; like avoiding excessive coffee, alcohol, salt in my earlier posts. Here I wish to highlight further on weight-watching and day to day diet to go for.
Here are the healthy facts for us:-
1. Weight Control - Excess weight creates risk irrespective of whether your level of blood pressure and cholesterol are good because carrying around extra pound can increase your risk of heart disease by as much as 45%.
2. Healthy Lifestyle For A Healthy Heart. Not smoking, drinking in moderation, maintaining a healthy weight, exercising regularly and eating right help to reduce risk of heart disease. For people who takes medication for controlling high blood pressure or high cholesterol, cultivating these healthy habits will also reduce risk, although by a lower percentage.
3. Maintain Healthy Diet - It may be the same old stories, but I would still want to remind that diet which consists more fruits, vegetables, and whole grains will reduce risk for age-related macular degeneration (ARMD) by 35%. ARMD affects millions of people worldwide and is the leading cause of blindness in older adults.
4. Avoid Fatty Meal - Research showed that a high fat meal has a negative impact on our health for up to six hours after eating. However, if you take a brisk walk after a meal, you can reduct some of the risk of over eating this fat. But my best advice is to avoid them by all means.
5. Reduce Salt Intake - Because you have developed a greater sensitivity to sodium as you get older, cutting down on salt is even more important in keeping your blood pressure down and by that means, avoiding processed foods as they contain one of the highest level of salt.
6. Eat Salad The Healthy Way - Salad is a healthy diet, but go easy on the dressing. A recent study showed that those adults who ate more salad had higher blood concentrations of folic acid (a B vitamin), vitamins A and E, alpha and beta carotene (which can be converted to vitamin A), and the antioxidant lycopene.
7. Pomegranate Caution - Antioxidant-rich pomegranate juice can interfere with blood pressure medications, anti-depressants, AID drugs, and some narcotic pain relievers. If you take medication and drink pomegranate juice regularly, you should seek advice from your doctor.
8. Drink More Water and Tea - Water replaces fluid. Drinking tea not only replaces fluid but it also contains high antioxidants, in particular green tea which I have written quite extensively in my previous post. As you get on a habit to drink green tea, whether it is the Chinese or Japanese one, a cup after your meal will help with digestion of your meal too.
9. Think Before You Order Your Meal - It is also healthy to eat home-cooked food, even simple dishes with lots of greens will provides you with the necessary nutrients your body need. Occasionally, we may eat out in the restaurant, but it is wise to study the menu before ordering so that you can avoid the unnecessary calories, fat and sodium plus the huge portion that you some times have to leave on the plates unfinished.
That's all for today and I hope this post enlighten you on your daily diet habit and lifestyle.
To your health success,
