Healthy living will lead us to the point where we can enjoy life to the fullest until we grow old and will never experience anything that might harm us or give us pain.

In addition, we will provide you essential information that can be incorporated to your everyday life.

At present, most of the people in the world have fear of different diseases, and we are commonly looking for the best prevention.  One of the best preventive measures to avoid disease is a healthy diet. Remember that prevention is better than cure; this famous line can be applied to anything in this world.

Eating healthy foods is a vital factor to be away from some immeasurable diseases and to have a good condition of our body. Each one of us knows that eating healthy and having a regular exercise will leads us to a healthy lifestyle.  There are a lot of healthy recipes that can be seen in some health magazines.

These healthy living magazines can be purchased from any bookstore in your locality as well as healthy living catalogs where you also find the guidelines of the food pyramid.

Speaking of food pyramid, it is a group of food that tells the importance of eating a variety of food that we need every single day.  It shows the food that we need to eat less, and those that should be eaten much too.  To name one, carbohydrates is the most important food in the pyramid that we should take because it gives us more energy for our everyday tasks, next are the fruits and vegetables group which is high in protein.

However, bear in mind that too much is not good and will have a bad result. Eat only that is necessary and avoid eating food that is more in calories and less nutrients.

Cooking light is the most common way of losing weight. Many of us are suffering from obesity with the main problem of weight loss.  In our present time, natural living is introduced and promoted, the natural holistic living.  Life is full of challenges they say, but we can avoid too much trials, especially when it comes to our health if we are having a healthy living.

If you will notice the vegetarians, or the green living people, you will get to know that what they are practicing is something that is really amazing and fantastic—the organic living. However, the body still requires us to take proteins from various sources, such as eggs, meat, and other poultry products with only limited amount, just to sustain the food pyramid. Having all the things done appropriately, forever-young living will be achieved, slowly but surely.

Some of healthy living articles like this give healthy living tips which are very useful and helpful for everyone who wants to start and act now to gain a wonderful life today and for the next years of their lives. Here are some of the basic matters that we sometimes tend to overlook

Eating healthy is taking in fresh fruits and vegetables. Instead of unhealthy snacks, replace them with fresh vegetables and fruits. Nutrition is found most on the darker ones.
Protein is muscle builder. Good source of protein are beans, fish, meat etc. Again, do not eat too much of it because to the kidney will overwork to filter them.
Starch should be avoided because they are sugar; among them are white bread, potatoes, French fries, and instant oatmeal. Instead, try the grains.
Practice a regular exercise. Make a plan that you can perform without missing even a single session because of laziness. This will increase the metabolism of your body.
Fasting is not a good idea. Instead of the three big meals, replace them with 5 smaller meals in a day.
Fiber is good because it controls the increasing rate of cholesterol within the body. You can find them in legumes, fibrous fruits like pineapple and whole grains.
Fatty acids are good to the body too. So, include them to your healthy living diet. They can make good nails, skin, and hair.

There are some simple yet essential ways to have a healthy living. You can practice them anytime to improve the overall health of your body. If the body is in good condition, the good metabolism will result to good digestion, will result to better flow of the blood, and will give us more energy to perform our daily tasks.

It is a chain of organs and system, and if they all work perfectly, the brain will work properly too, to help us think well of better ideas. You can look and feel better when you perform a healthy living.

A Guide to Healthy Living


Daily Healthy Living Tips

You probably heard it before: “You are what you eat.”
Although it is better to say: “You are what you can get out of your food.”
There are three basic components, which are crucial for healthy living.
They are:
*1  Good Nutrition
*2  Regular Exercise
*3  High Quality Nutritional Supplementation

I will describe in more detail the above three components for
healthy living.

First of all: Good Nutrition.
What do we mean by “good nutrition”?
Good nutrition means: eating the right food that contains all the right
carbohydrates,protein, fat, fatty acids,vitamins,minerals and trace lements,
based on your body type.

When your metabolism is slow, you belong to the “Endomorphs” group of
people. You are naturally overweight, you gain fat and retain water easely.
If you belong to this group, you need:
 45%  Carbohydrates
 35%  Protein
 20%  Fat

Wen your metabolism is higher, you belong to the “Mesomorphs” group of
people. You are naturally muscular and have little or no body fat.
If you belong to this group, you need:
 50%  Carbohydrates
 30%  Protein
 20%  Fat

The group with the highest metabolism are called the “Ectomorphs”.
You are generally skinny, could eat anything without gaining any weight.
If you belong to this group, you need:
 55% Carbohydrates
 25%  Protein
 20%  Fat

A second factor that determines good nutrition is our body’s ability to
absorb the nutrients from the food that we eat.
The nutrients have to be in a form that the cells can except them, and the
cells have to be in optimum condition to be able to absorb the nutrients.

That is one of the reasons most nutritional supplements miss the mark,
they don’t address the cellular condition of the body.

We also need a sufficient amount of antioxidants, to counteract the
formation of free radicals, caused by our stressful lifestyle,
polution in air and water and malnutrition.
Oxidative stress has shown to be the root cause of over 70 chronic
degenerative diseases.

The second component for  healthy living is Regular Exercise,
At least three times per week.
Aerobics, jogging, swimming, cycling and also include weight
lifting in your exercise routine, which is important for maintaining
a healthy bone-structure.

The third component is: a high quality nutritional supplement.
As I mentioned earlier, most supplements do not address the
cellular condition of your body.
Even worse, many are in a form that is unexceptable for the cells
themselves and don’t contain biological available substances
that are useful for the cells in your body.

High quality supplements  are bio-available,well balanced,
preferable manufactured according to pharmaceutical standards
and potency guaranteed.

Hopefully people who are overweight, don’t exercise or suffer from
any degenerative diseases will take note of these three components,
which are essential for healthy living.

Living a Healthy Lifestyle in College


Healthy Lifestyle Tips For Students

College is the best years of one’s life. It is a time to find your career path and meet some of your best friends for life. Living the college life at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, I have a first hand experience of this “good life”. Nevertheless, I want to use my experience and knowledge to educate those on the proper way to live a healthy college experience.

The following information will guide you to a better college exercise and eating routine that will require minimal time to your already busy day:

How you should workout: Try to include a 15-20 minute run after you weight train. Nevertheless, a more fun alternative would be to play basketball or racquetball if your school gym provides them. The average college student can burn approximately 500 calories during a vigorous basketball game. That is better than a 15-minute run on a treadmill or elliptical for some people. (Note: It depends on your level of training when playing basketball versus running on a treadmill to make a more accurate comparison in terms of calorie burning). Remember, if you like to do cardio after you workout with the weights then that is fine also. Nevertheless, doing cardio before you lift weights will warm you up more properly and give you a nice sweat before lifting. Regardless, any time you do cardio, you want to go hard enough to trim the fat and get into better shape, but never overtrain to the point where you can’t work with the weights and visa versa. Weight training is just as important as cardio so never sacrifice one for the other. When you do weight train, try to go at a high intensity pace, where you keep your heart rate going. Anytime you workout in college, you really want to burn off all the unnecessary “garbage” that you consume in college. Even if you choose to train at a moderate or even light intensity, it is certainly 100x better than not training at all. Try to weight train for no longer than an hour so that you don’t become over-trained, which can dramatically hinder muscle growth and recovery time. Moreover, students endure constant stress in college. When you workout, your endorphins will increase, which can lead to a “runner’s high”, thus increasing the happiness and pleasure you will experience throughout the day. In addition, exercising may help to improve your mood by increasing self-confidence and help to lower the symptoms associated with mild depression and anxiety.

How you should eat: When it comes to food intake, try to stick with smaller meals. You will find that eating smaller meals increases your metabolism and will make you hungrier throughout the day so that you can constantly refuel your body with food. Constant food and water are essential in college to refuel your body and mind. Remember, you should eat junk food in moderation. If you are just constantly eating crap, you will look like crap! Your metabolism is your best friend throughout college so treat it well. It will burn fat and keep you lean. In addition, larger meals may lead to more fat storage due to the fact that your body cannot digest all that was eaten. Here would be the ideal small meal eating routine in college.

Breakfast (Meal 1): 3 eggs, 2 pieces of whole wheat toast, oatmeal and some fruit
Meal 2: Protein bar
Lunch (Meal 3): Turkey sandwich with carrots
Meal 4: Crackers and cheese
Preworkout meal (Meal 5): 1 scoop of whey protein, banana and pretzels. (Remember, you should have an adequate amount of protein and carbohydrates before and after you workout)
Postworkout meal (Meal 6): 2 scoops of whey protein and 100% fruit juice
Dinner (Meal 7): Grilled Chicken with brown rice and vegetables
Meal 8: Whole Wheat Toast with cottage cheese
Note: You should always drink liquids with your meals and also drink a lot of water throughout the day when not eating. Try to have a gallon of water a day. Drinking an adequate amount of water daily is just as important as doing the eating.
The aforementioned meal plan requires little food at each time, but it gives a constant flow of food throughout the day that will ensure a healthy diet.

Time constraints: You should workout between classes. Sometimes you will find yourself with a one to two hour break in between classes. You see many students using this time to rest and just “hangout” between classes. You should see this as an opportunity to get your workout done so that you have the whole day ahead of you. Another good alternative would be to go at night in between homework assignments or after you have completed them. The later that it gets into the night, the less amount of people in the gym. Therefore, you may find that you can get in and out quicker because there are more machines available and fewer distractions. Also, try to eat meals that can be taken on the go if you cannot find the time to sit down and eat. Never let your time interfere with your eating!

Alcohol intake: While alcohol use should never be encouraged and has enormous repercussions on your overall health, college students tend to drink. Nevertheless, if you love to party, you need to face the facts: The average 12-ounce beer has 149 calories. Light beer has a little less at 110 calories but don’t let the word “light” fool you. Although light beer does have fewer calories, it fills you up less, thus enabling you to drink more light beers and pounding in more calories. Furthermore, a one-ounce shot of liquor averages about 70 calories. The heavier liquors can possess almost 200 calories in a single shot!
“Chasers” can also be a big problem in terms of weight gain. You’d be surprised to find that many college students drench themselves in these sugar-filled chasers that just pack on the calories. Cut out these sugary chasers. Sometimes it’s the sugar that makes the difference in being slim or chubby. Most importantly, limit your alcohol intake if you choose to drink at all. Always remember, alcohol use should never be encouraged and it can have profound effects on overall health and well-being.

The absolute no no: Try to stop eating right before bedtime, especially carbohydrates. Food that you eat before bedtime will stay in your body as fat while sleeping. Think about it: When you sleep, where does the food go? Of course, your body’s natural metabolism will help to burn it off, but it will not be nearly enough to burn off those carbs you downed opposed to during the day when you are doing your daily movement to help burn it off. I can almost guarantee you that if you curtail your eating 2 hours before bedtime, it will make a dramatic difference in your physique over the long run. See it for yourself.

Remember one thing though: College consists of the best four years of your life, and for some, more than four so live it up! Nevertheless, you will find that the healthier lifestyle you live in college, the more productive you will be and the better you will feel about yourself. I can promise you that.

While doing homework and studying is nearly every student’s main priority (and rightfully so), no student should neglect the importance of living a healthy lifestyle in college.

Healthy Living – Key Points For a Healthy Lifestyle


Healthy Living Lifestyle

Nowadays, many of us are more concerned about our health conditions.  We get a lot of tips from people who themselves are not aware on how one can live a healthy life. Considering the fact that we too are stubborn to follow most of these advices, we end up with all the frustration and regret that we did not choose to live a healthy life style at an early phase.

The earlier you practice to drink and eat healthy foods the better. Mother nature has given us a lot of options to choose from, so we could maintain a very good health condition, we should all make use of it.

Look into these drinking and eating habits that you should try starting from this day on:

1. Select food that are of great value, meaning that it contains vitamins and minerals that the body needs. Make sure that what you look into are food selections that would also fits your lifestyle, like for instance you are losing weight and you frequently workout, you would be needing foods rich in protein, so you have to select the foods that are rich in protein.

2. Drinking eight to twelve glasses of water a day is what you may hear or read all the time but there is more to it that you should know. What you should be drinking is purified drinking water that is at a room temperature and not ice-cold water. Most of us do this without knowing that this would actually intervene with the normal conditions in the digestive system.

3. What you need to eat are green leafy vegetables as well as fruits. Fruits and vegetables which contains the essential nutrients need by the body. Vitamin C and antioxidants from fruits, while omega fatty acids needed by the body to rebuild cells and replenish lost energy in our body.

4. Keep a balanced diet and make sure that you do not consume much food that produces too much cholesterol in the body like for instance dairy products, lard,  and other foods that produce saturated fats. Saturated fats unlike omega fatty acids are non-essential fats, it is considered junk in the body and harmful as well.

5. Speaking of fats, you can acquire non-essential fats from eating too much greasy foods which can result to your body having the difficulty in digesting these food together with other dishes. If this is the case then you will have more fats stored in your body which, eventually would lead to other health complications.

6. Your digestive system is the one responsible in distributing the nutrients that you get from the food you eat. Digesting your food properly, helps your system to distribute the nutrients throughout your body’s other organs accordingly. To do this, you need to chew your food slowly .

These are only few of those options available for you to take advantage of. To live a healthy lifestyle is not mainly eating the right foods and avoiding the wrong ones. Food intake would also be accompanied by frequent exercises as well as enough rest and sleep.
