Basic Steps to Good Health(health disesae)

Basic Steps to Good Health ...(health disesae)by Chris Chenoweth

EAT WELL - Eat a well-balanced diet that includes plenty of fruits and vegetables, as well as foods that are high in complex carbohydrates, moderate amounts of protein, and low in fat. Make sure you eat regular meals. Skipping meals or eliminating certain foods can lead to out-of-control hunger, resulting in overeating. Eat in moderation. Most people eat for pleasure as well as nutrition. If your favorite foods are high in fat, salt or sugar, the key is moderation.
DRINK WATER - Drink lots of water. Most people do NOT drink enough water. Dehydration is very subtle. By the time you feel thirsty, you are already dehydrated. Most of us are dehydrated because we do not drink enough water for our body to operate at optimal capacity. Insufficient water consumption (dehydration) makes you tired, gives you headaches, and weakens your immune system. Water is the most important nutrient that our body needs in order to function properly. When the body becomes dehydrated, the organs can become damaged, resulting in various types of degenerative diseases. Every major system in our body depends on water.
EXERCISE REGULARLY - Anyone can benefit from starting a basic aerobic exercise program. If you get little exercise, even walking 10 minutes a day can help your body immensely. Exercise controls blood sugar, helps you lose weight, and helps your body detoxify. Walking is the most easily accessible and beneficial exercise and anyone can do it.
REDUCE STRESS - Avoid excessive amounts of caffeine that can increase your anxiety level and avoid alcohol that can mask symptoms and make them worse. Try deep breathing exercises, massage, guided imagery, and meditation. Learn it is okay to say NO occasionally. Make time for yourself, your number one priority.
GET ENOUGH REST - Most Americans do not get enough sleep. Getting enough sleep is vitally important for physical and emotional health. If you have difficulty sleeping, NEVER read, eat or watch television in bed.
DO NOT SMOKE - The nicotine and other poisonous chemicals in tobacco greatly increase the likelihood of developing certain cancers and heart disease. Every time you light up, you hurt your lungs and heart. The longer you smoke, the worse the damage becomes.
AVOID TOO MUCH SUN EXPOSURE - Skin damage from overexposure to the sun is cumulative over the years and is irreversible. Too much time in the sun can cause sunburn, especially for fair-skinned people, and other potential problems. These problems range from fatal skin cancers to allergic reactions.
FASTEN YOUR SEAT BELT - If worn properly, seat belts absorb the force of a crash impact and hold you securely in place, greatly reducing your risk of injury.
SEE YOUR DOCTOR REGULARLY FOR PREVENTIVE CARE - Doctors do not only treat patients when they are ill. With regular checkups and preventive services, you can help prevent serious health conditions such as heart disease, cancer, high blood pressure, diabetes, etc.
Using the above guidelines will start you on your way to a healthier life. You will feel good about yourself, have more energy, look better, and provide a good role model for your family.
