New Start
A healthful lifestyle can hold back the aging process as much as 30 years making one fit for life.
NEW START is an acronym used to explain the eight most basic things one needs to do in order to live life fully
N-NUTRITION
This is the most important aspect of healthy living which entails eating healthy foods like complex carbohydrates, plant proteins vegetables and fruits.
Carbohydrates: have high energy provision.Sources include whole grains,bread, rice, cereals and many more.
Plant proteins: have high insoluble fiber, energy and antioxidants. Sources are legumes(beans,green grams,soy beans) peas.
Fruits and veggies: provide antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. Sources vitamin-A; dark green oranges, yellow veggies vitamin-B: citrus fruits, strawberries, tomatoes and potatoes.
Foods we eat can maximize our health, prevent diseases and hence live longer.
E-EXERCISE
Physical activities done for greater vitality,better health and longer life.
Exercise helps one in many ways such as:
It talked about there being a relationship between lack of exercise and ill health therefore people need to exercise in order to normalize the workings of the body.My friends and I concluded that:
"WALKING is the most ideal exercise; it reduces aging process if approached with art of fun and creativity."
W-WATER
Colorless, tasteless and pure substance.
Drinking water every half hour gives you stress break, washes acid out of your stomach and dilutes it.
When you don't drink water, the body must excrete wastes in a much more concentrated form causing body odor, bad breath and unpleasant smelling urine. One should drink enough water to keep the urine pale; the body loses about 10-12 cups of water a day through the skin, lungs, urine and feces. Food provides 2-4 cups of water leaving us about 8 glasses of water to drink.
A drink of water is like an internal shower;it rinses the stomach and prepares it for its work.Most people face health hazards from not drinking enough water than they do from water's contaminants.
S-SUNLIGHT
Sunshine can be both good and bad for your health depending on the amount of intensity.
On the positive side it improves sleep, due to natural body hormone (melatonin) increase.
An efficient germ killer hence things not washed regularly needs to be sunned.
Body manufactures vitamin D by action of sunlight on skin
Gives skin a healthy glow, smooth and pliable look.
negative effect can be experienced when one is exposed totoo much sun hence destroying skin's elasticity causing cancer.
T-TEMPERANCE
A balance healthful lifestyle brings improved health that lasts.
Too much of a good thing is a bad thing when your health is involved
T-TRUST
Getting to know God and believing in divine power.
Your beliefs can affect your health.
Trust is like a bank account- if you build it up through daily deposits, it's there when you need it for emergency.
