A healthier you!

Hi there,

here I am again. Did you know that living a healthier lifestyle could prevent 40% of diseases and cancer in later life? It is never too late to start a healthier life since usually cancer may take up to 20 years to develop.

So why don't you start right now? Are you sipping a coke while you are reading this? Or, are you eating a chocolate bar right now? What is next to you, a bottle of water or a fizzy drink? So why don't ypu follow these positive steps for the next week or so and see how you feel? If you feel better, and I garantee you will, then you will have to believe me.

• Eat plenty of vegetables and fruits, avoid canned fruits and vegetables with added sugar or salt;
• Snack on fresh or dried fruits, replace crisps with chopped raw vegetables;
• Add chopped fresh fruit to your breakfast cereals;
• Fill 2 thirds of your plate with vegetables, they are filling and low in calories;
• Are you hungry? Try a glass of water first, our body confuses hunger with thirst;
• Always read food labels and choose foods low in fat, salt and sugar. Choose foods with no more than 3g of total fats and with no more than 1.5g of saturated fats. Also, do not consume foods with more than 0.1g of sodium.

Well, I know that I have given you a lot of rules and points to follow, but if you can just start with one rule per day you will see how your life will change. Till next time...
