STEPS TO HEALTHY LIVING

WHAT IS HEALTHY LIVING

Our physical appearance is a reflection of our state of health. Being overweight is an indication of a highly toxic body due to poor digestion and blood circulation and an inefficient defecation cycle. It is also a manifestation of an unhealthy lifestyle characterized by a high cholesterol diet and a sedentary lifestyle.

When one is showing signs of aging, it is a warning that the body is starting to deteriorate and is becoming a sure candidate to chronic diseases, cardiovascular and heart problems. Hence, managing our health is essential to sustain ourselves, not just to look good but also for us to function at our peak while doing our daily activities.

However, there is more to healthy living than just eating well, exercising and seeking cure when the need arises. 

STEPS TO HEALTHY LIVING
Many factors affect your health. Some you cannot control, such as your genetic makeup or your age. But you can make changes to your lifestyle. By taking steps toward healthy living, you can help reduce your risk of heart disease, cancer, stroke and other serious diseases. For example,
  • See your doctor for regular screenings, not just when you are sick
  • Maintain a healthy weight
  • Eat a variety of healthy foods, and limit calories and saturated fat
  • Be physically active
  • Control your blood pressure and cholesterol
  • Quit smoking
  • Protect yourself from too much sun
STEP 1 : DETOXIFY
Detoxification is an indispensable step towards your journey to healthy slimming. When your digestive system is clogged, your body is unable to absorb essential nutrients. Before nourishment or slimming can take place, you must first detoxify your body of excess fats and toxins.

STEP 2: BURN FAT AND NOURISH
Next is burning fat from the body and getting the right amount of nourishment. You will notice that as fat is burned, your body’s metabolism is improved. You will start feeling lighter and more energetic, and the body becomes better at assimilating vitamins and nutrients from the food that you eat.

STEP 3: BALANCE AND CLEANSE
Follow-up with a routine, that will balance your body’s acidity and alkalinity. Cleanse your system with a rich supply of oxygen. Fortify your immune system with vitamin C and speed up the slimming process with Calcium.

STEP 4: REJUVENATE
Finish up by rejuvenating the body with a dose of antioxidants that will provide maximum blood and heart health benefits, and proteins for healthier and smoother skin.

Fruits and Vegetables
"Eat your fruits and vegetables." You've likely heard this statement since childhood. Research shows why it is a good advice:
  • Healthy diets rich in fruits and vegetables may reduce the risk of cancer and other chronic diseases.
  • Fruits and vegetables also provide essential vitamins and minerals, fiber, and other substances that are important for good health.
  • Most fruits and vegetables are naturally low in fat and calories and are filling.

HEALTHY LIVING

Heart  Attacks And Drinking Warm Water   

This  is a very good article. Not only about the warm water after your meal, but about Heart Attacks.  The Chinese and Japanese drink hot tea with their meals, not cold water, maybe it is time we adopt their drinking habit while eating.

For  those who like to drink cold water, this article is  applicable to you. It feels nice to have a cup of cold drink  after a meal. However, the cold water will solidify the oily  stuff that you have just consumed. It will slow down the  digestion. Once this 'sludge' reacts with the acid, it will  break down and be absorbed by  the  intestine  faster  than the solid food. It will line the intestine. Very soon,  this will turn into fats and lead  to  cancer .  It is best to drink hot soup or warm water after a  meal.

    French fries and Burgers are the biggest enemy of heart health.
A coke after meal gives more power to this demon.
Avoid them for your Heart's Health.

Common Symptoms Of Heart Attack...  
A serious note about heart attacks - You should know that not every heart attack symptom is going to be the left arm hurting.  
Be aware of intense pain in the jaw line.  
You may never have the first chest pain during the course of a heart attack.
  Nausea and intense sweating are also common symptoms.

60% of people who have a heart attack while they are asleep do not wake up. Pain in the jaw can wake you from a sound sleep. Let's be careful and be aware.  The more we know the better chance we could survive.
