Healthy Habits

As we know a sedentary lifestyle, poor diet and bad habits in general, deteriorate the quality of life. A balance of body, mind and spirit mean a healthier body to live better.
Nutrition education is essential and therefore should learn it from childhood, because eating well helps to have a healthy body and mind. Food provides the energy necessary to realize all kinds of activities. eat well is one of the most important things for good health for that we must include in our daily diet a portion of fruit and vegetables, these foods not only feed also haven't fat, is advisable to consume five or more servings daily because these foods help for example to reduce the risk of some cancers, promote heart health, improve memory, etc. We should consume carbohydrates, protein, fats, vitamins, minerals and cereals, too.
Another important thing to have a better quality of life is realizing exercise. Don't be a sedentary person – We must find an excuse to move our body for at least half an hour for day. Running, dancing, cycling, aerobics, walking- anything you fancy because this simples things we help to: Helps control weight, maintains healthy bones, muscles, and joints, promotes psychological well-being, reduces risk of death from heart disease, etc.
Besides eat healthy we must also worry about drinking water and eat dairy. Water and milk are essential fluids for good health. Our body needs water to keep properly hydrated. The calcium in dairy, on the other hand, is known to be important for strong bones and teeth. A good hydration improves skin elasticity. Prefer the water off sugary drinks or sodas that contain gas. You could say that water as part of the diet is more important than anything else. Do not forget to drink fluids, but do not feel thirsty"
Rest is another important point in a healthy life: "Our body has to have enough time to rest," we must take time to relax; our body needs a period of six to eight hours to recover from daily activity. Sleep is vital to good health and to mental and emotional well-being, because lack of sleep is linked to the deterioration of the body and mind.
Eat Well - It’s all about balance. Healthy eating is not about going without the things you like; it’s all about moderation so you still get to enjoy the extra yummy stuff too. We must take caring of our personal appearance, feel and look good, it's nice for us and also for others. We should visit their doctor regularly. We should not start dieting or things like that without discussing it before with a specialist.


...Enjoy your life... =) ...Eating Healthy...

  2. I agree with you with the habits that we should take for having a better life like feeding, hydration, regular exercises and the inevitable rest. You mentioned that we should learn these habits from the childhood, our parents or relatives has to tell it us. The people who has children in their house should teach them about healthy habits; it will be better for them, because it will be the future of their life.
    I'm not agree with you when you said something about rest. I think we have to sleep at least eight hours to recover ourselves from daily activities and to think better, we must rest well.

  3. I'm agree with your information.
    I think it very important that our parents since we are children we teach these habits, because when we are already adults is very difficult to make them part of us. For that reason I think it's important that we have these habits from a young age, then when we will be adults these will be part of us!

    It is very important that we have a healthy life, we avoid many problems such as high cholesterol, hypertension, heart problems, obesity, diabetes, etc.
    The best thing is that we eat healthy, playing sports, do exercises, etc ...
