Keeping an Eye on Health

Many people stay up at night worrying about their health, yet not taking care to make a few important lifestyle changes which promote better health in the long term. Good health is not just about having a good doctor or fixing things that go wrong, it is about maintaining healthy habits over the course of your life. This doesn’t have to mean taking drastic steps.

Good food is important for maintaining one’s health. This includes the right kind of food and the right amounts of food. Diets are worth little in the long run, and many diets – such as those which cut out carbs – can be more harmful than helpful. A diet beneficial to health is rich in fruits and vegetables as well as whole grains. Eating whole grain breads or pastas adds immense nutritional value. Meat does not need to be eaten at every meal, and can have harmful effects on health if eaten too often, particularly red meat.

Exercise is another essential factor in maintaining good health. Everyone should include some form of exercise in their regular schedule, and should try to make sure to get a decent cardiovascular workout on a regular basis.

Maintaining good health also means limiting stress levels. Constant anxiety can have negative effects on health and encourages bad habits. Taking time to relax, meditate, daydream, or simply process is important for avoiding getting bogged down by stress. Following these basic guidelines, it’s possible to live a healthier and also a happier life. Food, exercise, and low stress are important for both mental and physical health.

A love affair

A love affair with food can be a rather unhealthy obsession. We tend to try to love people and ourselves through the consumption of food and we find a strange sense of comfort in food that we don’t find anywhere else. This comfort and connection with food usually means that we develop an unhealthy love affair with the comfort foods we associate with love. This is the perfect way to throw on an extra fifty pounds. We regard food as a means of expression rather than a healthy (or unhealthy) means of fueling our bodies.

Food is essential in our life, and because of its essential components we associate good times and good people in out life with a shared meal. While this is normal it must be reigned in a bit in order to prevent excessive weight gain that can accompany our social obsession with food. We can still enjoy the physical and emotional benefits of food without over eating and bringing a new level of unhealthiness into our lives. If weight gain is caught early it is easy to resolve. It becomes much more difficult when we mistake the full feeling of food with the full feeling of love. It is common these days to confuse the two and many people are paying the price with weight problems, and the health problems, that come along with an obsession with food. Moderation has always been the key to enjoying the social aspects of food while maintaining a healthy body weight.
