Eating Better<i></i></h2>
<i>For Children and Families</i><br>
Start the day with a healthy breakfast. It refuels your body and gives you energy for the day.<br>
<ul>
<li>Let kids help plan one meal each week and eat together as often as possible.</li>
<li>Eat slowly. It takes 20 minutes for your brain to register that you are full.</li>
<li>Eat more vegetables and fresh fruits. Aim for a total of 2 cups of fruit and 2 1/2 cups of vegetables every day.</li>
<li>Eat more whole grains (e.g., oats, brown rice, rye, crackers, whole-wheat pasta). Try to eat at least 3 ounces of whole grains every day.</li>
<li>Drink plenty of fluids. Choose water, low-fat or nonfat milk and low calorie or diet beverages.</li>
<li>Serve a variety of foods.</li>
</ul>
<i>For Parents</i><br>
<br>
<ul>
<li>Reward children with praise rather than with food.</li>
<li>Serve food in smaller portions. Do not demand or reward “a clean plate.” Let your child ask for more if he or she is still hungry.</li>
<li>Read <a href="http://familydoctor.org/familydoctor/en/prevention-wellness/food-nutrition/nutrients/nutrition-how-to-read-a-nutrition-facts-label.html" title="Nutrition Facts Label">nutrition labels</a> for serving size and calorie information. The information on the labels can help you select foods that best fit into your family’s meal and snack plans.</li>
<li>Bake, broil or grill foods to reduce fat. Rather than cooking with butter or vegetable oil, try healthier versions like olive, canola or sunflower oil.</li>
<li>Snacks should provide nutrients and energy, which are essential for active, growing children.</li>
<li>Do not give your child vitamin supplements unless they are recommended by your doctor </li>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN;">The benefits of
living a healthy life are pretty obvious. It makes you stay physically active
and you don't easily get sick. If you are healthy and active, you can do all
the things you want to do. That's why most people are doing everything they can
just to achieve a healthy life.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span lang="EN" style="font-size: 10.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN;">The most common
tips for healthy living include doing regular fitness workouts, eating healthy
foods, and practicing a healthy lifestyle.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN" style="font-size: 10.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN;">For fitness workouts,
you can also perform simple exercises at home or in the office if you don't
have time to go to the gym. Simple activities like walking, running, swimming,
or dancing are best form of exercises that can be done at home. But if you are
serious about getting physically fit and if you have enough time and budget to
do it, gym membership is the best option for you.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN" style="font-size: 10.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN;">When it comes to
healthy eating, nothing can be healthier than eating vegetables, fresh fruits
and plenty of pure water. A healthy eating habit means avoiding heavy dinners,
junk foods, and plenty of sweets and fatty foods. To avoid taking unhealthy
snacks, it is advisable that you eat complex carbohydrates, vegetables, and
protein-rich foods during meals. Other healthy foods that you can take are nuts
like cashews, almonds, and walnuts. Drinking a cup of herbal tea instead of
coffee is also a healthy option.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN" style="font-size: 10.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN;">To practice a
healthy lifestyle is about stopping unhealthy vices like smoking and drinking
alcoholic beverages.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN" style="font-size: 10.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN;">Other helpful
tips for healthy living that you can consider include purifying the air in your
own homes, taking vitamins and health supplements, and losing weight if
necessary.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN" style="font-size: 10.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN;">In addition to
the several tips for healthy living mentioned above, having a healthy and safe
environment is also a must in order to live a healthy life. You can make your
environment healthy by knowing the right place where to put the toxic waste and
chemicals.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN" style="font-size: 10.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN;">For parents, you
have an added responsibility in taking care for the wellness and healthy life
of your children aside from your own physical health and well-being.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN" style="font-size: 10.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN;">Health care is
also a very important part of living a healthy life. This covers regular
medical checkups and screenings. It will help you reduce your spending on
health care if a health problem is treated earlier. However, if you are already
sick and in need of medication, you can ask your physician on switching to
cheaper yet effective alternatives.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN" style="font-size: 10.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN;">All these tips
for healthy living will only become effective if you religiously follow them with
all your heart. Remember, all the benefits you will get from these are also for
your own good. You are primarily responsible for your own life. If you want a
healthy and active life, no one else can help you achieve it without you
helping yourself first. Your doctor, gym instructor, family, friends, or
neighbors can help you live a healthy life but without your personal desire and
commitment to achieving it, everything else will fail. Always put in your mind
that living a healthy life will lead you to living a happy, fulfilling and
satisfying life.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-size: 10.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN;"></span>  <span lang="EN" style="font-size: 10.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN;">Healthy living
and exercise can help you live a long, happy, and healthy life. Some people may
not know what exactly healthy living is. Well I will explain. Living healthy
means to avoid drugs, alcohol, and anything else that is bad for your body.
Eating well is another way to live healthy. Exercising regularly also falls
into the category of healthy living.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<span lang="EN" style="font-size: 10.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN;">All of these
things can lead to a long life. It is important to exercise often not just to
keep your weight down but to strengthen your heart and lungs as well. Exercise
can keep you heart strong for many years by simply walking on a treadmill a few
times a week. It does not have to be anything difficult or tiring to keep you
healthy.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN" style="font-size: 10.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN;">Take
a walk around your neighborhood every evening after dinner and you will be
surprised how much just that little bit of exercise can improve your health.
You will start to feel better all around, you will not get winded as easily,
you will not get tired from walking as quickly as you use to. You will also
start to feel better mentally.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN" style="font-size: 10.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN;">Some people do
not realize it but exercising releases endorphins that actually make you feel
better mentally. Living healthy is important to all of us and it is not hard to
do. You can still have some of the things you enjoy like cake, or coffee. Just
be sure to have them in moderation.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN" style="font-size: 10.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN;">It
is not healthy to drink a whole pot of coffee or eat a whole cake but having a
cup of coffee and a small slice of cake every once in a while will not hurt
you. Some people believe that you have to cut out everything you enjoy to live
healthy but that is not true you just have to be reasonable with it.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN" style="font-size: 10.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN;">Healthy living
is necessary for you to look and feel your very best. Do you believe that? If

<span style="font-size: large;"><strong>Here are 8 benefits of a healthy lifestyle</strong>.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: "Avenir Next", Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
This Article is written to reach the public with a simple and clear method to point out and to reap the benefits of a healthy lifestyle while reducing the risks of chronic diseases such as diabetes.</div>
<div style="background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: "Avenir Next", Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
With the increased understanding of our bodies that we have gained from science over the past few decades, the benefits of a healthy lifestyle are becoming more apparent, along with the reasons why we should detoxify the body at least once a year to remove harmful bacteria, and even worms, from our digestive system. For people of all ages, weights, and abilities the benefits of a healthy lifestyle are endless. But for now let's look at eight simple benefits of a healthy lifestyle.</div>
<div style="background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: "Avenir Next", Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
1. Your Health:</div>
<div style="background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: "Avenir Next", Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Good Health is not something that you buy from a drug store or a department store, but can be achieved by practicing collective patterns of health-related behavior, based on choices made from available options. Following this logic, if you wish to realize the benefits of a healthy lifestyle, you have to repeat some healthy pattern as a part of your daily or weekly activities, some patterns like eating right and exercising. Other benefits includes: Reduced health care costs, reduced illness and injuries, reduced doctors visit, Keeps you employed and improved employee/employer relations.</div>
<div style="background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: "Avenir Next", Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
2. Weight:</div>
<div style="background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: "Avenir Next", Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Managing your weight is the key to attaining all of the health benefits of a Healthy Lifestyle. A weight reduction of just 10 percent will significantly reduce risk of heart disease and other obesity-related illnesses. Obesity/overweight is the second leading contributing factor to many childhood diseases such as orthopedic disorders, sleep apnea, type II diabetes mellitus, asthma, high blood pressure and cholesterol, skin disorders, emotional and psychosocial problems (Spigel, 2002), and many more. Weight-bearing exercise such as walking and strength training helps slow the onset of and/or prevent osteoporosis and some research shows that participating in such activities can actually build bone density and begin to reverse the disease. Other benefits are: Weight reduction, reduced tension and stress, improved well-being, Enhanced self-image and self-esteem and improved physical function.</div>
<div style="background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: "Avenir Next", Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
3. Exercise:</div>
<div style="background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: "Avenir Next", Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Although drugs alone can often bring cholesterol down to normal levels, diet and exercise provide benefits that drugs don't. They'll lower blood pressure, reduce weight, and lower the risk of developing diabetes. A sedentary lifestyle is a dangerous risk factor for disease. Exercise and a healthy diet helps the body use insulin more efficiently and can help control, alleviate and prevent many diseases. Exercise, cessation of tobacco consumption, eating a high-fiber, low-fat diet, controlling body weight, and learning to cope with stress, reduce the risk of heart disease.</div>
<div style="background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: "Avenir Next", Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">

<div style="background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: "Avenir Next", Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
We all want a trim and have healthy body for a variety of aesthetic, social and medical reasons. Healthy living is truly the best medicine. In a study conducted by Tufts University at the New England Medical Center, among patients with cardiovascular disease, an exercise program was shown to significantly reduce LDL cholesterol and other risk factors beyond what's provided by drug therapy. Even modest weight loss can help reduce medical and pharmacy costs, help avoid bariatric surgery, and co-morbidities such as asthma, hypertension, and diabetes.</div>
<div style="background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: "Avenir Next", Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
5. Wellness:</div>
<div style="background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: "Avenir Next", Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Wellness is about being comfortable in your space: your body, your attitude, and your environment. A healthy lifestyle can greatly increase a person's longevity. And even though catching something contagious like a cold or flu is sometimes unavoidable, having the wisdom that feeling healthy is a better way to live should have you asking yourself why you are not taking action to live each day as beneficially as possible. The issue with a lot of people nowadays is that they are so busy working and/or taking care of everyone around them, that they neglect their own health and wellness. Make sure your heart is healthy and your bones are strong and Keep it that way to see the benefits of a healthy lifestyle.</div>
<div style="background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: "Avenir Next", Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
6. Care:</div>
<div style="background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: "Avenir Next", Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
The best way to ensure good health is by taking care of yourself. The Care stakes are high but the potential rewards are great-preventing premature death, unnecessary illness, and disability, controlling health care cost, and maintaining a high quality of life into old age. With a healthy lifestyle, you are who you are and you don't have to be self-conscious about those things that you otherwise would be if you didn't care about your lifestyle</div>
<div style="background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: "Avenir Next", Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
7. Control:</div>
<div style="background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: "Avenir Next", Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
With a healthy lifestyle, you have more control of your life as you work with your body against those aspects of living which may work to hold you back if you would let them. With a healthy lifestyle, you have control over your sleep patterns so that you feel generally well rested throughout the day. With a healthy lifestyle, everything works together to help other aspects of your lifestyle make sense and benefit you. Science has proven that healthy weight loss, healthy eating and fitness routines make dramatic improvements in health, and help control common chronic illnesses like high cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes, stress, and general lack of stamina.</div>
<div style="background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: "Avenir Next", Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">

<div style="background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: "Avenir Next", Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Another benefit of a healthy lifestyle is a steady flow of stamina and strength; you can perform activities and exercises that will enhance your flexibility. With a healthy lifestyle, you have a balanced and varied diet that provides your body its needed nutrients and energy as well. You have strength to train to help build the muscle that supports the bones and joints; therefore decreasing the risk of falls and fractures. Cardiovascular exercise, also known as aerobic exercise, strengthens the heart muscle, therefore increases the heart's efficiency. As we age, our bones biologically begin to lose mass and strength. Weight-bearing exercise such as walking and strength training helps slow the onset of and/or prevent osteoporosis and some research shows that participating in such activities can actually build bone density and begin to reverse the disease.</div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 115%;">The importance of living a healthy
lifestyle for maintaining general good health and preventing chronic diseases
has been well established. A healthy lifestyle is quite simple to achieve - one
does not need to do anything "crazy" to adopt a healthy lifestyle. I
will say that a certain amount of independent thinking is required to separate
truth from fiction in most modern health advice currently being delivered.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="left" class="separator" style="background-color: #dddddd; clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: "Avenir Next", Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 115%;">The most important thing you can do is eat
well. Avoid toxins in your food as much as possible and consume plenty of fresh
fruit, veggies and whole grains; exercise moderately a few times per week;
avoid smoking, including secondhand smoke; and avoid gaining too much weight
(which should come naturally if you eat right and exercise). While it is not
always possible to eat all Organic food - the EWG recommends 12 fruits and
vegetables that should be organic because of their higher levels of pesticide
residue. Avoiding environmental toxins as much as you can is an important part
of achieving a healthy lifestyle.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="left" class="separator" style="background-color: #dddddd; clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: "Avenir Next", Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 115%;">Our modern lifestyle is very convenient -
but it can also be extremely unhealthy. Most of us eat too many processed foods
and too few fruit and veggies; we rarely exercise; and when we develop chronic
conditions such as diabetes, we rely on conventional medications to make us
feel better - but these medications often have devastating side effects.
Instead of accepting the importance of living a healthy lifestyle for us and
for future generations, we continue with our bad habits - then take potent,
toxic medication to treat our inevitable symptoms.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="left" class="separator" style="background-color: #dddddd; clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: "Avenir Next", Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: center;">

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 115%;">Of course, not all aspects of living a
healthy lifestyle are in our control. We are going to be exposed to certain
environmental toxins whether we like it or not. But many of these factors are
absolutely in our control. Whenever we can, we should be responsible and make
the right choices.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="left" class="separator" style="background-color: #dddddd; clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: "Avenir Next", Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: center;">

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 115%;">This is why it is so important to be sure
you eat well as the key factor in achieving a healthy LIFESTYLE<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="left" class="separator" style="background-color: #dddddd; clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: "Avenir Next", Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: center;">

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 115%;">I say "lifestyle" because what I
know is that "eating well" can sometimes be something a person does
with resentment because they feel "sacrifice" is required to adopt a
healthy lifestyle.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 115%;">I remember when people who ate poor foods
used to joke with me and say I was not really living because I chose not to eat
pizza and drink beer - and I always replied "how much LIVING can you do
when your body is recovering from what you put in it?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 115%;">The reason I discuss the healthy lifestyle
tip of simply EATING WELL on my blog is because it has been so effective for my
health.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>It was not always like this
though. I remember when I was addicted to a chocolate bar each day and I always
had headaches or an infection or illness of some kind.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">

</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 115%;">In addition to excessive sugar cravings
(eating a chocolate bar each day) I also suffered from many unhealthy symptoms
that were challenging to resolve through traditional medicine: Frequent
headaches, Skin problems (ie. eczema, acne, hives, Bloating, Gas, Bad Breath,
Weak or brittle hair and nails, Fatigue and lethargy, Excessive stress, Candida
overgrowth, Yeast infections, Food or Environmental Allergies, Anxiety or
depression, Diarrhea, Constipation, Memory loss, Mood swings, Frequent colds or
infections, PMS or bad menstrual cramps, Bladder infection, Loss of sex
drive...etc.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 115%;">Years later, I LOVE good food and I am
rarely sick. Eating well is the perfect way to get in tune with your body and
really get back to basics of what your body needs. It challenges you to give up
the vices that you take for granted, break your addictive eating habits and
start again from the beginning. Eating well is a healthy lifestyle choice that
gives you clarity on what your body really needs, not craves and becomes the
foundation for all other healthy lifestyle choices.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="left" class="separator" style="background-color: #dddddd; clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: "Avenir Next", Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: center;">

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 115%;">An important thing to remember with eating
well is to really examine your root philosophy for adapting more healthy foods
into your lifestyle.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="left" class="separator" style="background-color: #dddddd; clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: "Avenir Next", Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: center;">

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 115%;">This is SO IMPORTANT!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="left" class="separator" style="background-color: #dddddd; clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: "Avenir Next", Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: center;">

</span></div>
<span lang="EN" style="font-size: 10.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="color: black;">If it's simply
to loose a few pounds - I personally feel that this is not enough of a
motivator and you will set yourself up for "failure" however, if you
choose to eat well to enjoy a better quality of life, to do things you have not
done in years and to not get sick anymore, then this is a wonderful motivator
that will likely last!<o:p></o:p></span></span></span><br />

</span></div>
<span lang="EN" style="font-size: 10.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="color: black;">So, getting
really practical, eating well obviously involves making a few changes to the
foods you prepare and enjoy.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span><br />

<span lang="EN" style="font-size: 10.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="color: black;">I always listen

</span></div>
<span lang="EN" style="font-size: 10.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="color: black;">The main reason

eat REAL food.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span><br />

</span></div>
<span lang="EN" style="font-size: 10.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="color: black;">Because of this,
I do not need expensive supplements or challenging programs to maintain my

<span lang="EN" style="font-size: 10.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="color: black;">This sounds
simple enough, but what I have learned is that many people simply do not know
what a healthy lifestyle consists of, especially when it comes to food!<o:p></o:p></span></span></span><br />

</span></div>
<span lang="EN" style="font-size: 10.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="color: black;">I try to keep
things as simple as possible. I shop from the perimeter of the grocery store,
eat mostly wild and free range chicken, very little meat and mostly raw organic
fruits and vegetables, with beans and rice. It's not practical to list
everything I eat here, but feel free to visit my blog and download your FREE

Depends on our Health Living a healthy lifestyle, free as much as possible of
toxins (in our environment and in our food) and of stress, is important to us -
but it's also important for future generations. Scientists are also now

years of living an unhealthy lifestyle are obvious. We are currently faced with
a sharp increase in chronic illnesses such as diabetes and heart disease, with
an obesity rate so high it's considered an epidemic, and with growing rates of
infertility. The number of children diagnosed with autism, Asperger's syndrome
or ADHD is alarmingly high.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span><br />

act responsibly now, they will likely adopt a similar approach of taking care
of themselves and of the planet when they become adults.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span><br />

<span lang="EN" style="font-size: 10.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="color: black;">We must each ask
ourselves if we are modeling the importance of a healthy lifestyle to our
children. If we do not show them how to care for themselves, they will likely
turn to the food corporations instead. How will they know the difference
between real food, "food like" substances?<o:p></o:p></span></span></span><br />

     you feel each day as you prepare your family's meals? Are you hurried,

     engaged in making a meal, and then take pleasure in eating together we
     affirm that food is more than something to fill the hole but is a
     necessary part of a happy and healthy family life. In short, your children
     will imitate what they see so make sure you are placing a positive value
     around the activities involving healthy living.<o:p></o:p></span></span></li>
