TOP TEN HEALTHY HABITS FOR YOUTH & REGENERATION

If you don't take care of your body, where are you going to live? You can buy a new car or a new house, but this is the only body you get. Take care of your body and you'll live longer, look younger and feel better while you're here. 

1. Reduce Your Fat Intake. Research shows it's best to keep your fat calories between 20 to 30%. The national average is 42%. 

 2. Eat More Nutritious Fiber Foods. Increase your complex carbohydrates in the form of whole grains, beans and especially fresh fruits and vegetables. 

 3. Drink Plenty Of Pure Water. Water is an essential nutrient. Eight glasses a day helps you digest food, transport nutrients and get rid of toxins.

 4. Exercise Sensibly. A daily walk is better than strenuous high impact aerobics. Also, light weight training helps keep your bones strong. 

5. Increase Your Micronutrients. Studies prove that optimum amounts (higher than the RDA's) of essential nutritionals, fatty acids and phytonutrients help you to feel good, prevent disease and slow down aging - naturally.

 6. Cut Down On Refined Sugar. Sugar is a nutritional nightmare giving you a burst of energy one minute, a bout of fatigue the next and taking your emotions on a roller coaster ride to end up at depression and irritability.

 7. Limit Salt. Excess salt throws your minerals off balance, causes water retention and possibly high blood pressure. You can get used to less.

 8. Quit Smoking, Give Up Caffeine And Other Drugs, And Reduce Alcohol. In other words, eliminate the negative.

 9. Maintain Your Optimum Weight. Both overweight and underweight create excess stress and strain on the body. It's best to get it right and stay there. 

10. Manage Your Stress. According to Abe Lincoln, "Most people are just about as happy as they make up their minds to be." Create a balanced life that works. And, make up your mind to be happy.

Adopting a Vegetarian Diet

Adopting a vegetarian diet has become a popular choice for individuals looking to improve their health, particularly as heart disease and obesity rates continue to rise in many parts of the world. Vegetarians tend to have lower cholesterol levels and consume fewer trans fats than those who consume meat and dairy products. However, to maintain good health, vegetarians must ensure they obtain the right amount of nutrients from their vegan diets. By taking care to plan their diets carefully, vegetarians can enjoy a satisfying and tasty way of life. While there is no established vegan diet, it is widely agreed that with so many vegetarian diets to choose from, the choice is ultimately up to the individual. However, vegetarians must be cautious not to make their diets too restrictive as this can lead to difficulties in meeting the body's daily nutritional requirements. Commonly deficient nutrients among vegetarians include protein, iron, vitamin B12, vitamin D, calcium, and zinc. Soy pr...

Is White Wine Good For Your Heart?

Is white wine as "heart healthy" as red wine? Here’s what you should know about the heart health benefits of white wine. The answer is  probably  -- though researchers continue to debate the question. Some studies have indicated that red wine is modestly better for the heart than white wine (or beer or spirits) because it contains resveratrol -- a polyphenol (plant chemical) associated with cardiovascular benefits, including reduced risk of heart attack. Resveratrol is found in the seeds and skin of grapes, which are crushed together with the pulp to make red wine. White wines, on the other hand, are made with just pulp and therefore contain very little resveratrol. But recent studies have shown that the pulp does contain other polyphenols that may be heart healthy. Moreover, although red and white wines differ in polyphenol composition, both contain similar amounts of alcohol -- which is known to increase level s of HDL ("good") cholesterol and prevent bl...
