Leading a Healthy Lifestyle
HEALTH TIPS TO LIVE BY
Eat breakfast daily to improve memory, mood, energy levels and well-being.
Increase calcium, vitamin D, zinc and fibre by eating yoghurt, milk, cheese, red meat, fish, seafood, fortified breakfast cereals, fruit and vegetables.
Weight-bearing exercise and adequate calcium are crucial to prevent bone loss.
Eat meals regularly and have a nutritious afternoon snack to improve cognitive performance.
Lift intake of Vitamins A, C and E and fibre to cut breast cancer risk.
Eat foods rich in anti-oxidants and phytoestrogens, such as fruit, vegetables, grains and garlic to reduce risk of heart disease.
Nutrients in food work much better than those in pills and powders, which can have negative effects.
Avoid salty foods and don't add salt to meals and cooking because it interferes with calcium absorption.
Regular exercise and healthy eating are the keys to weight management.
HEARTY LIFE IS THE KEY
A heart attack patient's first instinct may be to take things a little easy, but research suggests this could be a big mistake. Those who stay active after a first heart attack have a 60 per cent lower risk of a second or fatal attack.
It also held true for men, women, smokers and people with high or low cholesterol.
