The new wave of thinking and believing that prevention is better than the cure is sweeping the world and is being perfected by noted medical experts. Healthy life is the best prevention, and this can be achieved by incorporating healthy food patterns in the lifestyle.
Sugar-Free
Beverages
Quenching
your thirst is serious business, especially when you do not know that what you
put in your body may be fattening or unhealthy. Think “diet” if you want a
soda. Most cola drinkers often look for the cola taste in their drinks.
However, this is not particularly in line with a proper healthy life. A
compromise, therefore, is a cola drink that will not add worry lines to your
forehead from feeling guilty over the extra calories and chemical substances
you have gulped down. So feel good and taste your cola drink minus the guilt.
Fruit
and Vegetable Juices
The
craze worldwide is to go natural. This explains the sudden proliferation of
juice stands in malls and gyms. Natural juices are always best for the body and
a healthy life. They help cleanse the system, are full of vitamins, and give
you extra energy you need. While fruit juice may be more popular than vegetable
juice, both types of beverages provide almost the same benefits to the body.
Fruits have natural sugars and, therefore, provide a more palatable taste.
Fruit juices are best taken the natural way. Avoid consuming over processed
juices.
Avoid
Processed Foods
Anything
processes, whether canned, bottled or packaged may contain chemicals that
adversely affect your health. However with the majority of processed foods in
the supermarket, it is almost impossible to avoid processed foods. An essential
tip for your healthy life is to read food labels before buying them. Preservatives
or food additives like MSG (monosodium glutamate hydrolyzed vegetable protein
sucrose) are very bad for you. Watch out for BVO (brominated vegetable oil),
BHA (butylated hydroxyanisole)
and BHT (butylated hydroxytoluene). These additives that are common in canned
foods can cause a build-up in your body and eventually change the metamorphosis
of cells.
Drink
Lots of Water
Parched
throats, dry lips and tongue are symptoms of thirst. Do not rely on signals of
thirst alone, to decide on when to drink. Healthy life means drinking enough
water to replace lost fluids in your system. A person with a good water habit
is quite healthy. If you do not drink sufficient amount of water, your body cells
will not function properly.
