Health is Wealth

Healthy diet

Develop good, healthy eating habits.
The first condition to a healthy diet is to eat a wide variety of foods so that you can gather all the different nutritional requirements.
In a nutshell, we should eat more fruits, vegetables, yoghurt and yoghurt drinks, starchy and fresh produce and less sugary, salty, fatty and processed foods.

Eat more fibre

The best source of fibre and the easiest way to consume it is to eat more fruits, vegetables, beans and whole grains. Nowadays, most breakfast cereals, and those for children too, are packed with fibre, vitamins and nutrients.
Start your day with a healthy serving of breakfast cereals that will take you through to the next meal.

Healthy weight

Keeping your weight at the desired level is tough but everybody knows the benefits of maintaining a healthy weight. It lowers the risk of coronary diseases like heart attack and stroke, diabetes and hypertension, to name a few. Be aware of what you consume with a strong emphasis on low fat and low cholesterol foods. Be more active, choose smaller portions during meal times and eat slowly.

Move more, eat less

Be more active. Choose activities you enjoy and do them every day. If need be, do them with a friend and both of you can keep each other on track.
Reduce your intake of sweet drinks and junk food.

Turn off the TV

Watching less TV can give you more time to exercise and be active. Also, you will not be enticed by junk food commercials. Two ways of reducing TV watching is by:
a) taking it out of your bedroom; and
b) switching off the TV during meal times.

Drink plenty of water

Water helps to soften waste material in the gut and prevents constipation which, if left unchecked, could lead to digestive stress.

Vitamins and minerals

Try to get all your vitamins and minerals from foods you consume and not from supplements. Also, food provides the synergy?that many nutrients require so that they can be efficiently broken down and absorbed in the body. Once equilibrium is restored, you will enjoy a sense of well-being. After all, a healthy body brings with it glowing skin, luscious hair and strong nails.
