A few ways to be healthy, wealthy, and wise

June 15th, 2008

Want to be healthy but don’t know how to start. Here are a few science-backed ways to enjoy life to the fullest with a few smart choices,

  • Red wine is a great antioxidant with the best protection against cardiovascular disease, tooth decay, and wrinkles. According to a 40- year-old Dutch scientific study wine drinkers are more likely to live longer as compared to non-drinkers.
  • Opt for fish. Oily fish like mackerels and salmon contain a larger amount of Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids which plump up the skin making it smoother and healthier. They may also reduce the chances of Alzheimer’s disease, increase the IQ of children, and protect the cardiovascular system.
  • Drop some kilos with constant exercise. Even 30-mins of brisk walking is sufficient to keep the body fit and healthy.
  • Eat a lot of oatmeal. Oats contain an important material called as beta glucan which boosts the immune system. There are also a group of complex carbohydrates which don’t cause a rapid rise in blood sugar levels. Oatmeal acts like a sponge scrubbing away the excess cholesterol present in your blood.
  • Eat a balanced diet of fresh fruits and vegetables. And try to eat brightly colored veggies which are rich in healthy fiber, fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals.
  • Pop a few supplements. No one, no matter how experienced, can really eat a balanced diet. So try to pop a few multivitamin capsules or extra supplements to keep your requirements fulfilled.

Finally try to be more optimistic. There’s nothing more off putting to others than a negative attitude.

With the changing working scenario, those who attend office in the night shift don’t get time in the morning and prefer to exercise in the morning and vice versa. It does not matter, when you exercise, the important thing is that exercise is must for everyone. A brisk walk or some body workout keeps one’s body fit and strong.
