Health Issues
It’s that time of year when we are all concerned about diet and exercise issues.
Achieving an eating-and-exercise regime that you can sustain indefinitely is most likely to bring permanent weight loss. Both your diet and exercise regimes should be planned hand in hand to achieve the best results.
Other considerations for diet and exercise:
Dementia – our diet has a direct impact on our cognitive decline. A heart healthy diet that keeps clogged arteries from limiting the brain of a supply of oxygen and nutrients has been linked to lowering the risk of dementia.
Omega 3 fatty acids – are as much a brain food as helping our heart and joints. B12 – has been linked to cognitive decline in Alzheimer’s, so our diet of red meat and poultry is important. For vegetarians B12 supplements are always recommended.
Cancer- after smoking, obesity now ranks the second preventable cause of cancer. Physical exercise has been linked to lowering the risk of colon and rectal cancers. Diet too is important with emphasis on non starch vegetables, fruits, foods rich in folates, vitamin C, selenium, milk, beta carotene.
