Importance of living a healthy lifestyle as a family
healthy lifestyle |
The importance of a healthy lifestyle in maintaining general good health and preventing chronic disease is well established. Achieving a healthy lifestyle is very easy - one does not need to be "crazy" to adopt a healthy lifestyle. I would say that most modern health advice given today requires a certain amount of independent thinking to separate fact from fiction.
The main thing you can do is eat well. Avoid toxins in your diet as much as possible and eat plenty of fresh fruits, vegetables and whole grains; moderate exercise a few times per week; Avoid smoking, including second-hand smoke; And avoid gaining too much weight (which should come naturally if you eat right and exercise). Although it's not possible to eat all organic foods all the time - the EWG recommends 12 fruits and vegetables that should be organic due to high levels of pesticide residues. Avoiding environmental toxins as much as possible is an important part of achieving a healthy lifestyle.
