The  age of a woman doesn’t mean a thing. The best tunes are played on the oldest  fiddles.

Today our topic is future generations using healthier habits in their lifestyles with eating foods healthier overall for their bodies but still being able to treat yourself to foods that are not necessarily the best to be eating on a regular basis (Ex. Fast Foods, milk chocolate candy bar, etc…). Even though their trying to be healthier in fast food restaurants their still not foods to be eaten daily). I’m a female who is middle aged, within my body mass index (BMI) and still with a little muscle tone which ending line is doing fair for my age but if you think I have natural high metabolism you’re dreaming. If you live on eating not 3 but 6 small meals a day that’s low in calories, carbohydrates, and fat you will allow your metabolism to stay at a steady level. The key is it’s not for a few days, weeks or months but your eating like this in your normal way of living (everyday) with still treating yourself to foods now & then that aren’t so healthy compared to your regular healthy eating habits. Know when you do treat yourself to these kinds of foods occasionally with high calories, high carbohydrates or high fat foods that you  put your metabolism in a setback 3-4 days, which slows down the metabolism.  If you’re in your regular body mass index when treating yourself to unhealthy foods that’s great but keep watching what you eat the next few days when getting back on your regular healthy foods.  If not in the therapeutic BMI and you want to lose weight than no treats until you reach within the BMI range.  We’ll get to the proper reference to go to for researching what healthy and unhealthy foods to eat in one second. Eating healthy foods in your regular life will help you not only with keeping your weight at a nice number but as you grow older it will decrease a lot of diseases that are caused by eating foods high in calories, fat, carbohydrates and cholesterol which allows in time blockages in the arteries causing cardiac problems. Eating foods high in carbohydrates, calories, fats and sugars daily will just put high probability that you will become overweight especially if you’re not doing any work-out or activity other than work and your regular daily activities.  Becoming overweight or just eating foods that are unhealthy or doing both can cause many problems as getting older (Obesity, Diabetes II, high B/P, blockages in the arteries=Coronary Artery Disease and more). The younger you are the easier it is to change usually but even being older you can change for both age groups it just takes being a strong person, having discipline, and knowing this is what you want.  Remember when you slack off in your diet and/or activity/exercise you don’t persecute yourself but get right back on the healthy track and keep striving for a healthier body, longer life and possibly a change for the better with our health care system overall in society, in time.  A healthier country will in time show less disease, a healthier population in America making overall a better place for everyone of all ages. Most important you will be healthier. It is all up to you and if you want to know more about better eating habits (having a reference on types of healthy foods to eat in all food groups not just being salads, with knowing how to divide the portions of food groups up and at the same time allowing foods you love in the diet) and knowing what activity or exercise to do (which doesn’t mean you have to do a heavy work out ) than you need to look no further.

We can decrease diseases in our country overtime, like in a decade or less?  Well, at least all the diseases I covered in part 1.   After seeing yesterday in part 1 the disease census 2011 in our country now the next question is there any way we can impact on what healthy habits we practice over a long period of time which would better control these diseases in decreasing them in America.  Wouldn’t you want to see less disease and more people both young and old healthier?  I know I sure would after being a RN over a quarter of a century seeing so many diseases and ones that could have been prevented by a society that is more health oriented than based on their food cravings at fast food eatery.  We have all heard we need to make sacrifices for certain things in life.  Would you think sacrificing fast foods being eaten always or low glycemic meals in large sizes for all your meals over numerous years prone you to putting weight on putting you at risk for disease is worth sacrificing?   I finally do in my 40’s and it’s not that hard of a sacrifice since it allowed me to remove all toxins from my body from unhealthy foods with looking and feeling better.   I ate like that and it took me about 6mths to finally get the routine down of eating small 6 low glycemic meals a day with having occasional high glycemic foods (Ex. Occasional fast foods like ice cream and more) with doing routine exercise 2-3x a week and practicing these healthy habits on a regular basis not just 2wks or 2mths which so far has allowed me to lose 20 lbs.  I hope to lose 20 more to make my goal to 138lbs at 5’7”.  If the majority of America lived healthier like this there would be less disease in our country which would put a positive impact on our health care system for all but it would take a decade or so.  We do need to start somewhere and today is the best day to start for both us and future generations to come.  Eating healthier, losing weight down to the ideal body mass index ratio based on your height,  with exercise routinely (not necessarily meaning an aerobic workout), and practicing healthy habits can make a great change in health for me, you, and all in America.  Join me and become healthier with spreading the healthyusa.tsfl.com news to make America a healthier country and most importantly yourself.  It’s like how we were taught by mom and dad at a young age the better you take care of your car the longer it will last.  The better we treat ourselves regarding health the higher the odds we will live a long and prosperous life like Mr. Spock.  There is not just one food to eat or one type of exercise to do or one healthy habit to keep you healthy, there are choices.  Click onto my website which is no fee, no charge, no hacking, just letting you check us out to look further in understanding how Dr. Anderson with myself as your health coach could change your health for the better.  It allows you to make all the decisions in what you want to do regarding exercise, in what to eat, and what healthy habits you want to practice.  We just provide the information of how the body works, food groups, with so much more that includes foods if you decide you want it.  I hope to hear from you soon.  Again, thank you for lending me your ear in listening how we can make a better and healthier USA.
