healthy habits


Nowadays people haven't enough time to have a healthy life. We are always running everywhere, having half lunches, going to work haven't ate anything, smoking, drinking, going to parties and never resting.
This is not a good way to live because we get stress, sick, tired, cardiac problems, etc.
In the last 20 yeas it has been a change in the way to live which has brought with itself an increase of diseases in the adults and children, being food the main causer of this, or the bad way to eat that the people have in the last time. Because of this and despite we have a higher life expectancy; we are having a worse life quality. I mean, we can have a longer lifetime, but we spent it sick.
Everything because the food we choose it is full of calories and fats, specially saturated fats, sugar and salt, when we must eat fibers and carbohydrates, this is why people are sick and are dying of diseases that our parents and grandparents never had had.
The last studies effected in the country show that the priority of interventions in health and nutrition are cardiovascular diseases, obesity, cancer, arterial hypertension, diabetes, osteoporosis and anemia. The solution for all these diseases is to have a healthy life.
Following some advices we can have a life free of sickness and stress, besides we could feel better and be happy:
  • To eat different kind of food during the day, because none can give us everything that we need eat. that is why we must combine them to have a healthy diet.
  • To eat more fruits and vegetables because it has been demonstrated that eat some vitamins and compounds present in them reduce cardiovascular risk and some kinds if cancer.
  • To use vegetable oil and don't eat animal oil, this because the vegetable iol has no cholesterol and it has a source of essential oily acids.
  • To prefer meat like chicken, fish and turkey. Meat is an important source of proteins, but is better to eat white meat than red meat.
  • To drink more milk, but without fats, because we just need the calcium.
  • To eat less salt, because the salt is a causer of arterial hypertension and cardiovalcular diseases.
  • To moderate the sugar. It produces caries, obesity and it increase the risk of diabetes.
  • To try to drik two litors of water, to keep the body hydration.
With these simples steps we can have a healthy life, but do not forget we also need to do some exercise.
