The formula for good health = Eat what you don't want, drink what you don't like and do what you rather not!
As i continue my research and study into nutrition, i like to share a few notes i made from a new book i was presented and one that i found very informative, Nutritional Supplements, By Lyle Mac Williams MSc, FP. who researched over 200 products available in Australia and New Zealand.
Did you know?
30% of heart diseases can be attributed to obesity ?35% of all cancers deaths, especially breast, prostrate and colon cancers are related to diet?
In 1997, the American Institute for Cancer Research & World Cancer Fund, released a report claiming that a change in diet could prevent 3-4 million cancer patients world-wide.
Osteoporosis has been traced to diets low in calcium and vitamin D. Cataracts & muscular degeneration arise from low intake of Antioxidants, such as Vitamins C& E.
60 -70% of the incidence of heart diseases can be prevented, as can 80% of the incidence of stroke, with appropriate modifications to diet. 90% of type 2 diabeties is preventable through simple modifications in diet and exercise. The solution is almost too easy to imagine.
It's your choice
Eat what you don't want, drink what you don't like and do what you rather not! many joke at the punt , but unfortunately , too many of us feel the same way.
Health is a matter of choice, such as choosing to eat healthy balanced meals instead f that greasy burger and eat fries or chosing to take a brisk walk instead of watching T.V, yet, far too any of us are making poor nutritional and lifestyle choices on a consistant basis.
In fact,most most people do it every day. If instead, we chose to make good nutrition-including supplementation and make an active lifestyle a daily habit, we could add 5 - 15 years to our lives.
Apart from the future benefits, eating well and exercising regularly also enable us to enjoy life so much more right now!
Recently, i was visiting a friend in hospital and decided to chat with a couple of guys who were in the same room, and just to keep the names out, lets call them , Richard, John and Paul.
Richard, 51 years old, says " I like being the way i am" came in for a blocked artery in his leg, no exercise, bad diet, doesn't believe in nutrition and wonders why he is overweight & slow and a walking time bomb.
John, 72, smokes like a chimney, drinks alcohol daily, eats lots of bbq's, breads, foods that are high in fats, no exercise , has already had by heart-pass surgery, gall bladder removed, diabetes and was diagnoised with cancer in the pancrease.
Paul 82, the oldest of all, looked like he is in his early sixties, slim and so mentally alert,great for his age, is one who has allways believed in a healthy lifestyle and it certianly showed, keeps to a low fat diet,only drinks on a social basis, stopped smoking nearly 40 years ago,he said from a very young age learnt to respect his body and watched what he allowed in , believed in nutrition and proper diet and exercise.
So in conclusion, i invite you to share your comments and ask you to think about the few areas i have shared and consider an alternative ...
