10 Tips to Maintain Health and Beauty
By Paul W Wilson
Beauty, health, and nutrition are all integrated. If you eat a balanced
diet you will be able to maintain your physique and glowing beauty
externally and good health internally. A balanced diet is one that
provides all the nutrients you need, the right amount of proteins,
carbohydrates, and fat.
To achieve goals you need to ensure a good balance in your diet,
introduce variety into your meals, and practice moderation. The basis
of nutrition lies in your height, weight, dimensions, and your daily
energy needs. Once you know this you can compute what your daily
calorific needs are and set goals for weight maintenance, gain, or
loss. By regulating your diet you can be active as well as happy.
You must:
1. Eat sensibly. Include a variety of foods in your
diet such that the 40 nutrients that are required by your body are
present. Make use of a food pyramid and calorie chart to prepare tasty
and nutritious meals. Follow the “Dietary Guidelines for Americans”
issued each year.
2. Eat plenty of whole grains, fruits, and
vegetables. They will supply you with essential vitamins, minerals, and
protection from several diseases.
3. Maintain your weight at a healthy level.
Successful weight management is one of the golden keys to good health.
By doing is you will lower considerably the risk of many diseases like
hypertension, diabetes, heart diseases, cancer, and osteoporosis.
4. Learn self control, eat moderate portions. The
secret lies in eating everything but in small portions. Don’t give way
to gluttony or greed.
5. Make a time-table for your meals and how many
calories will be in each meal. Never fast, starve yourself, or skip a
meal. Eat when your body demands sustenance but not huge quantities.
6. Practice moderation. Good health does not lie in
eliminating carbohydrates or fats. Include all your favorite foods but
balance them with the rest of your diet. If you indulge your taste buds
by eating pizza one day, then try and do so at lunch time, never eat
pizza late at night. Ask for low fat cheese and healthy toppings. Eat
just enough to satisfy your craving not all 12 slices. Get a few
friends to share you sin. The days you indulge, eat sensibly the rest
of the day—salads and fruits will help you make up for the binge.
7. Be sure your meals each day include all the food groups.
8. Plan to exercise every day. Either walk or take up
aerobics, dancercise, or join a gym. Exercise will not just burn
calories but put a glow into your skin, tone your muscles, and
strengthen your bones. Exercise also removes accumulated toxins from
your body.
9. Maintain a dairy in which you record your goals,
and what you eat each day. Review your week objectively and create a
table that shows at a glance what you did right and what you did wrong.
This will help keep you on the right track.
10. Celebrate each victory. Give yourself a present or take yourself out every time you achieve a goal.
By eating healthy, one can live a complete and rounded life without
diseases, reduce stress greatly, look and feel great, be happy from
within and without, age well, produce healthy progeny, and live life to
the fullest.
