Health For Life
before beginning any
new health regimen.
For optimum Health ---
Exercise, stop smoking, improve your diet and lower your cholesterol.
Fitness programs should include exercise routines that last 20 to 30 minutes and are done at least 3 days a week. For more dramatic results increase your program to 45 to 50 minutes.
The average woman 25 years of age and older should get 50 grams of protein each day, and the average man 25 years of age and older should get 63 grams of protein each day. Adequate protein is important because it prevents muscle tissue from breaking down and repairs all body tissues such as skin and teeth. To get adequate protein in your diet, make sure you eat 2-3 servings of meat, poultry, fish, dry beans, eggs, and nuts.
At least 100 grams of carbohydrates per day are needed to prevent fatigue and dangerous fluid imbalances. To make sure you get enough carbohydrates, eat 6-11 servings of bread, cereal, rice, and pasta.
And, never forget that 30% of your calories should come from those WONDERFUL (essential) fats...Olive, Safflower, Grapeseed, Nuts, Avocado, etc,. Limit animal fats! (but, i luvvv pepperoni pizza).
