When I was younger, I often asked myself: What mattered most in life? Wealth? Luxury or health? By now, I would have given myself the right answers and so would you. But I know that for some people, luxury and wealth still matter more than health. To each his own so it’s really up to every individual.
eat wisely and heathily when on vacation
June 23, 2008 Leave a Comment
It is rather common for people to go ‘free and easy’ with their diets and eating habits when they are on the go. I often hear friends telling me that they are eating anything they want cos they are on vacation! As much as I believe that we should go overboard in restricting our diet patterns during a vacation, we should still try to eat healthily by choosing our food options.
Before traveling to your destination, you can check out travel guide to find out the various restaurants and eating establishments available and plan your trip accordingly. It is alright to take it easy but that doesn’t mean you should eat ANYTHING at the expense of your health. It’s all about knowing how to strike a balance and recognizing your own health condition. After all, your vacation is not just about eating. It’s about giving your body and mind a well deserved break and to be refreshed and rejuvenated for your sense of wellness.
the myths of healthy eating
June 18, 2008 6 Comments
As we strive to eat healthy and practice good lifestyle habits for the good of our health and beauty needs, it is important to avoid listening to some myths on healthy eating.
1) Eating what you want
Eating healthy and exercising doesn’t mean you can eat anything you want. Everyone needs the same nutrients whether they exercise or not, as well as fruits and vegetables. You can exercise everyday and put on the best beauty products but you don’t choose the right foods to eat, no best acne treatment can treat your face from acne problems.
2) Skipping breakfast
Skipping breakfast is never a good idea, as breakfast starts the day. Your body needs fuel as soon as possible, and without it, you’ll be hungry throughout the day. Beginning the day with a glass of fresh vegetable or fruit juice is a good choice too.
3) Not enough calories
Although losing weight involves calories, losing it too quickly is never safe. What you should do, is aim for 1 – 2 pounds a week. Always make sure that you are getting enough calories to keep your body operating smoothly.
