Better Health, and how to get it on a gradient:
Our health is drastically impacted by nutrition. You'll
find that almost all health issues are more easily controlled or handled by
adding or eliminating certain foods, and by taking the proper supplements which
are missing from our diet. . We also know that fast food is not as high in
vitamins and nutrients as our bodies require. Following are the health tips
which we feel that you should follow for a good health :

Drink Plenty of Water :
|
|
The human body is composed of approximately 70% water. Water is contained
in the cells of the body (intracellular fluid), in the arteries and veins (blood
plasma), and in the spaces between the blood vessels and cells (Interstitial
fluid). The body's water supply is responsible and involved in nearly
every bodily process, including digestion, absorption, circulation and
excretion. When we eat, breathe, and use our muscles, our body creates residue
waste products that the body has to get rid of. Good clean water helps us
do this. Without enough water we do not get rid of these waste
products? The waste products that we do not discard have to be stored
somewhere within our body. Storing this waste seems to contribute to, or
even help cause, the following: lower back pain, chronic fatigue syndrome,
diabetes, headaches/migraines, asthma, allergies, colitis, rheumatoid arthritis,
depression, high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol, neck
pain. Water helps to reduce sodium buildup in the body, relieve
constipation, and maintain proper muscle tone.
Water is the primary transporter of nutrients throughout the body and
so is necessary for all building functions in the body. Water helps maintain
normal body temperature. It is essential for carrying waste material out of the
body. Water acts as a solvent for the vitamins and minerals we need everyday for
our cells to do their jobs. Therefore, replacing the water that is continually
being lost through sweating and elimination is very important
Situations involving our need for water:
Dehydration, Sports & Exercise, Water retention, Indigestion, Bad Breath,
Gallstones, Kidney stones &
Urinary tract infections are some of the situations which raise our thrust for
water.

Don't breathe polluted air :
|
|
Even if you live in the country, you are probably breathing
polluted air. From campfires to jet engine exhaust, the obvious polluter -
automobile exhaust fumes - there are cigarette smoke and chemicals emitted by
industry - as well as ozone. Many pollutants can be airborne over long
distances, and all can enter your system.
Hazards of inhaling polluted air :
After inhaling the
polluted air there can be many hazardous effects on our bodies like, shortness
of breath, wheezing, coughing, bronchitis, pneumonia, headaches, inability to
concentrate, chest pain and, in some cases, lung cancer. Breathing polluted air
changes the way that the lung cells do business.

Exercise :
|
|
Only during exercise are nutrients needed for maximum energy production
carried to every body cell. One of the reasons that you don't have that energy
and don't feel like exercise is nutritional deficiencies from eating at fast
food restaurants, having a essential fatty acid deficiency from eating the
latest fad of "low fat" foods, going on low calorie diets, etc. A
spontaneous urge to exercise cannot be expected until the correct nutrients are
obtained. Dietary improvement quickly increases metabolism, or internal
exercise. Lack of exercise causes reduced, weakened muscles in your arms, legs,
back and elsewhere. When you exercise your metabolism gets less sluggish
because it has an improved ability to use oxygen. Using the additional oxygen,
your body will burn more stored fat more efficiently.

|
Sleep :
|
|
Sleep is as important as the other things. Sleep gives the body a chance to
repair muscles and other tissues, replace aging or dead cells, etc.
Missing out on sleep not only affects work performance, but also can wreak havoc
with our health. In addition to raising stress hormones, sleep deprivation could
foster diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity and memory loss, and it could
cause you to age prematurely. Other ill effects of sleep deprivation
include impaired motor skills, difficulty thinking, concentrating, and making
decisions, as well as irritability and other mood problems.

habits. When the percentage of refined foods and junk foods with hydrogenated
fats increases it leads to unhealthy bodies and overweight.
