Leading a Healthy Lifestyle in My Senior Years

On By guestAdmin

As I get older, I realize more and more how important it is lead a healthy lifestyle if I want to enjoy and get as much out of each and everyday as I possibly can. For me leading a healthy lifestyle not only consists of eating right, exercising, having regular medical checkups, getting enough rest and the other basics of healthy living. It also means enjoying life to its fullest potential. If we aren’t happy with ourselves or life in general, eating that “apple a day, to keep the doctor away”, really isn’t that important, in my book. Here are some of the things I try do to lead a more healthy lifestyle.

  1.  Diet: I’m more aware now then ever before of the foods that I consume, and the ones to avoid to keep myself healthy. I try to keep that salt shaker at arms length, as heart problems do

The Way to Good Health by Eating the Right Foods

On By guestAdmin

Growing up in a home where a family wants to do the right things is not always easy. There are so many issues and obstacles around waiting to trip you up from your course. There is the matter of price, availability, and accessible location of the foods you need to keep in good health. People also contribute to the dilemma by putting you in situations where you do not want to be rude as if the food isn’t good, and end up letting curiosity take the best of you.

The after effects of such a splurge following so many years of abuse can lead to serious health problems that will require better judgment for the rest of your life. Needless to say, it is no picnic to feel sluggish, constipated, nauseous, and just not up to all the tasks in the day. I will share with you what my family …

Politics and the Parallels with Personal Health

On By guestAdmin

Nationally, we’ve become too blasé’, too accepting that someone else is the authority and that they’ll watch over our best interests. The majority of us have decided that we’ll take someone else’s word for what’s best, who we should vote for and what we should know and believe.

I talk to lots of people about various subjects and recently the subject of both the national dilemma and personal health have kept coming up. We all have different opinions about the cause and what can be done.

Most people are adamant that something needs to be changed on the national scene, but seem complacent about their own personal health and how they deal with the parts of their personal lives that aren’t working. They think they’re too busy to be involved with politics and personal health, yet strongly feel that others should be more responsible and take the time, no matter …

How to Keep Your Child Healthy During the School Year

On By guestAdmin

Keeping your child healthy during the school year can be a real challenge. Parents often find themselves rushing around, and trying to get everyday stuff done. Food is usually the last thing on the list for many unfortunately. With so little time left in the day many parents choose to just give the kids money to buy whatever they want for lunch.

Some tend to plan it out for the week, but I have often found it better to do for the entire month. All it takes is about one hour out of your entire month to plan out a healthy menu for …

I want to give you some information on the foods that you may eat at these fast food restaurants.
