Nutrition
& Diet
Aside from not
smoking, the most important determinants of good health are
what we eat and how active we are, according to the Harvard
School of Public Health. That makes sense to me. The Food
Pyramid is a great information source of what you need to
stoke that engine of yours! The right amount of protein,
carbohydrates, and fats can go a long way in keeping you
fueled up during an extended period of moderate
exercise.
Who doesn't want to be in good health? I take a lot of
my cues from Men's Health magazine. Antioxidants? Yep, get a
lot of those from eating all kinds of berries (blue, straw,
and rasp). Veggies? Get my 5 to 9 servings eating dark green
and yellow vegetables (broccoli, mustard cabbage, carrots,
bell peppers). There is compelling evidence that a diet rich
in fruits and vegetables can lower the risk of heart diesase
and stroke. It's a good reason to get your "Five to
Nine"!
The internet is such a rich source of information on
Nutrition and Diet. Get off your backside, grab a glass a
water and start searching!
