Health

From all the situations we must face in life, the health is the one which makes us most fear, the one for which our doubts are the most stressful and the one who can have a devastating influence on our future. It’s normal being anxious when health is involved, without counting the fact we are true ignoramuses in this domain. Even these doctors, despite the fact they are competent, they have a very limited knowledge of the human body and its secrets that operate this magnificent machine of human life.


Since we are moons to see really clear, there is no recipe that can prevent you from getting sick, because you will, one day or another, but there are still ways to avoid numerous of them. The current knowledge allows us to presume that certain basic principles are beneficial. As for anything in life, moderation has much better taste. Abuse is rarely a solution for a problem and seeking in a too intense way some parts of the body, alter it prematurely and often in a permanent way.

To simplify the principles to something easy to do and to understand, here is some recognized assertions which will give you some indications to live healthy;

 to maintain a healthy weight, you must spend the same number of calories you gain, simple principle, but for many people it seems difficult to do

 to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, don’t consume saturated fat and avoid salt on food (there is enough natural salt in food)

 to decrease the risks of type 2 diabetes, avoid adding some sugar in what you consume (there is enough natural sugar in food)

 to decrease the effects of aging on your bones (osteoporosis), consume dairy products every day (moderately) and make a minimum of body-building to allow the muscles to support your osseous mass

 to reduce the effects of aging on your intellectual abilities (analysis and memory), do some reading, play strategic or memory games and continue to educate yourself on anything you find interesting

As you found, keep things simple and you must take steps to maintain your body and your mind.
