preparation, exercise and physical fitness and maintaining regular check up's with doctors

Healthy Foods

While having a healthy diet can improve your overall health, it is important to remember
that even healthy foods can sometimes make you sick if they aren't prepared properly
...
Buy fresh products that have been stored
properly
...
Check the sell-by date on products before
buying -- stores should not be selling products that have expired (and you should not be
buying them) because it means the food may be starting to spoil
...
Don't buy
a product if it looks like it has been sitting out or doesn't appear fresh
...
Even if your food comes from a store that is clean or in a
package that says 'pre-washed', you don't know who or what has touched them before
you
...
While a
slightly crushed box of cereal may not be cause for alarm, in general you don't want to buy
packaged foods that have been damaged
...
And sometimes people tamper with
foods (or medicine) in the stores
...

activities easier and lowers your chance of osteoporosis, broken bones, pulled muscles,
and other injuries) and Improve your mental health (by lowering anxiety and depression
and increasing feelings of control and well-being)
...

exercise (walking, running, swimming, dancing, and weight lifting, to name just a few), but
three basic types of exercise
...
Cardiovascular exercise is any
type of exercise that raises your heart rate to a 'target zone' (determined by your age,
weight, and health)
...
Strength training helps you by making you stronger and giving you better
endurance (so you can do things longer)
...
While many people think of weight lifting when they hear

'strength training', there are many different types of exercises you can do to improve your
strength (and you don't have to be a muscle-man or woman to do them
...
Exercises that increase your flexibility give you greater range of
motion in your joints and make your body more supple, again, making day-to-day activities
easier and reducing your chances of injury
...


Prevention Is The Best Cure

"Prevention is the best cure" is a popular saying among healthcare professionals
...
While this is not
always possible, there are many ways to prevent possible future health problems and
illnesses
...
But there are many
other ways to prevent illnesses or stop illnesses from getting worse
...
Talk to your doctor or healthcare
professional for more ideas on prevention and healthy living, especially related to your
lifestyle and nutrition
...
This
checkup should include checking your weight, blood pressure, listening to your heart and
lungs, and a general physical exam; discussing your lifestyle (exercise, diet), health
problems, and current medication; and answering any questions you may have about your
health
...
Taking care of your body and feeling pride in your
accomplishments can improve both your physical and mental health
...
No matter how small you start (adding an apple a day
6

to your diet or walking 5 more minutes a day), you can make a change and an
improvement in your life
...
With a healthy lifestyle you
can only get positive reinforcements out of it, such as feeling good; you will have more
energy, sleep better and be more relaxed, looking good; you will have a nice toned body,
strong muscles, bright eyes healthy hair and skin, and most important you will be happy;
you will have a better outlook on life

try are: eat breakfast, which I believe a lot of people skip because they don’t have time
but eating breakfast stimulates how you feel for the rest of the day and also and may slow
down your metabolism
...
When going grocery shopping hit the produce side first
and keeping your fruit on the counter, which will be a reminder to eat them
...
Only use 1 tablespoon
...
When eating meat choose reduced fat or the leanest cuts
...
Now fried foods, they are very high in
fat and clog your arteries so try to stay away or limit the intake to very little
...
But before you
go out and buy all types of fat-free or low-fat foods and scarf them down remember they
have calories so just eat everything in moderation
...
And here are few weight loss tips: brush your teeth after you eat to help prevent
snacking, and if you must snack eat small portions such a pretzels, whole grain cereal, pop
corn, or rice cakes
...

 Cardiovascular Exercise: & How much? With cardiovascular or aerobic exercises
there are many choices such as how long you do it and at what intensity at which
you do it

safety tips for exercising are choose a exercise program that is appropriate for you,
dress appropriately for the weather, don’t not exercise if you are unwell, if you have
pains in joints, feet, or legs, don’t exercise within 2 hours of a meal, in the middle of
the day, and don’t take a hot shower or sit in a sauna immediately after wait awhile
to cool down
...
Always try to fit in a work out for example if you have
only ten minutes you can increase you energy level with 1 minute warm up; walk in
place 2 minutes do lunges 2 minutes do push ups 2 minutes do sit ups or crunches
then 2 minutes stretch
