Take A Deep Breath
Take a Deep Breath People are always on the go, never slowing down long enough to take a proper breath of air, eat the appropriate meal, or enjoy the tranquility of the moment. The people in this society are always concerned with everything that the next day might bring or what they haven’t finished on their to-do list and the majority of people don’t take the time to stop and appreciate all that is in front of them. This is such a fast paced world and no one actually thinks of what they are doing with their minds or bodies. This way of life is astonishingly harmful for our physical and mental health, as a society we need to recognize and promote the benefits that come from a healthy lifestyle.
When it comes to food, we want it fast and we want it cheap. The world we live in has figured this out, hence the reason why fast-food restaurants are everywhere you look. They offer exactly what we want, but this food is not necessarily what we need. Sure, it’s easier to go to McDonald’s and order a Big Mac than it is to stay put and make a home cooked meal, but maybe the extra time and effort is worth it in the long run. Eating the proper foods, such as fruits and vegetables, provide more nutrients and have more benefits than most people realize.
Eating a diet rich in vegetables and fruits as part of an overall healthy diet may reduce risk for heart disease, including heart attack and stroke. May protect against certain types of cancers, the risk of obesity and type 2 diabetes, may lower blood pressure, and may also reduce the risk of developing kidney stones and help to decrease bone loss, and may be useful in helping to lower calorie intake.
Another important thing to remember to have healthy eating habits is not to skip a single meal. When that happens, you could be setting yourself up for disaster, especially if you are trying to lose weight. Why? Because when you skip a meal, you are messing up your metabolism. If it does not have food to breakdown, it slows
