Healthy Living

In order to maintain having a healthy body, one must assert the effort of keeping a healthy lifestyle through regular exercise and proper diet.  Consuming too much food and not enough exercise will lead a person to obesity while having too consumed too little amounts of food will make the person get illness and may cause underweight.

There are certain types of food that the body needs in order to maintain good health. The main food groups are proteins, fats and carbohydrates. Just the right of amount of nutrients from the three spectrum would make a vast difference considering if you don’t have a healthy lifestyle today.  Examples of Carbohydrates are potatoes, pasta, bread, rice and sugar. Carbohydrates is a source of energy while proteins are needed for growth and repair of cells. Proteins comprise of cheese, eggs, fish and meat. Lastly, cheese, oils, margarine and butter are examples of fat which are needed also to make cell membranes and to insulate our bodies.  Vitamins and mineral ions are very important to be in our body and these can be consumed through maintenance medicines and foods which are rich in vitamins.

A poor diet may lead to deficiency in diseases. Like for example when you don’t consume food that is rich in Vitamin D it will have a heavy effect on the proper growth of the bones.

It is important to have your regular check up and know which vitamins and kinds of food that you should and should not be eating in order to have a full, balanced and happy life.


Exercising may be tiring and time consuming but it has a lot of relevance in maintaining a fit body. If you really don’t have the time you can do alternatives in your routine like instead of using the elevator use the stairs, if you are used to drinking soft drinks, instead have water and fruit juices.
