Tips for Healthy Living


Healthy living is very important in our society today, and as such we should try to live a healthy life. I was going through this and I thought I should share. Enjoy!

Eating (diet)


    All humans have to eat food for growth and maintenance of a healthy body, but we humans have different requirements as infants, children (kids), teenagers, young adults, adults, and seniors. For example, infants may require feeding every four hours until they gradually age and begin to take in more solid foods. Eventually, they develop into the more normal pattern of eating three times per day as young kids. However, as most parents know, kids, teenagers, and young adults often snack between meals. Snacking is often not limited to these age groups because adults and seniors often do the same.

    Tips:
    • Eat three meals a day (breakfast, lunch, and dinner); it is important to remember that dinner does not have to be the largest meal.
    • The bulk of food consumption should consist of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and fat-free or low-fat milk products.
    • Choose lean meats, poultry, fish, beans, eggs, and nuts (with emphasis on beans and nuts).
    • Choose foods that are low in saturated fats, trans fats, cholesterol, salt (sodium), and added sugars; look at the labels because the first listed items on the labels comprise the highest concentrations of ingredients.
    • Control portion sizes; eat the smallest portion that can satisfy hunger and then stop eating.
    • Snacks are OK in moderation and should consist of items like fruit, whole grains, or nuts to satisfy hunger and not cause excessive weight gain. For more information visit: https://www.medicinenet.com/healthy_living/article.htm
