Take Action To Succeed

Being in good health is a vital component of wealth. Just think of it this way, you have all the money in the world but in a poor state of health so how do you enjoy the money? Yet many are not conscious of this as their actions show that they are not mindful of their health.

ADVANTAGES OF STAYING IN GOOD HEALTH.

A lot of people have habits that do not enhance their health. Look at the following:

Some take very little water everyday. Our bodies consist of about 90% of water. Start your day with a drink of at least 1 litre of water. Do not drink water during meals. Wait for at least 30mins after eating. Avoid drinking cold water immediately after your meal. Drink warm water instead. Drink at least 2.5 litres of water throughout the day.

Avoiding taking large amounts of sugar in your tea or beverage. A lot of sugar intake can cause diabetes in the long run. If you have history of diabetes in your family, start early by reducing or having nothing to do with sugar. Vidal has such a history and he takes his tea, coffee, beverage or pap without a drop of sugar. This may not be a very tasty experience but it saves you some problems in the future. Some even take coke at every meal. Research has shown that each bottle of coke has 10 teaspoons of sugar which is 100% of your recommended daily intake. You can imagine what happens with 3 bottles every day.

Reduce your salt intake. Too much of it may not be too good especially if you are prone to hypertension.

Do some exercise daily. Instead of driving all the time, walk a little more especially when where you are going to is not a great distance.

Make sure every meal is balanced which is not as expensive as many think. Instead of eating plain rice or yam porridge, add a lot of vegetables like spinach or ugu. Have more of proteins and little portions of complex carbohydrates; this would mean taking little pounded yam, amala, semovita and eba and plenty of soup instead. Take maximum advantage of fruits and vegetables when they are in season.

Watch your cholesterol level. Limit your fat intake to only what’s necessary for adequate flavour. If you are above forty, think more of eating lean meat like chicken without the skin and fish instead of red meat like beef.

If you already have health problems, discipline yourself to obey Doctor’s instructions on what to eat and those to avoid.

Teach your children good health habits. What do you buy for them as treats? Is it chocolates, sweets, ice creams etc? Why don’t you try fruits especially those they love like nuts, salads, milk drinks e.t.c.. This would teach them early in life what type of edibles to consume.

We also recommend that you take a multi-vitamin each day to ensure you are getting all the vitamins and minerals your body needs.

Keep to your body weight. It would do you a lot of good because overweight causes some other health problems.

Remember HIV/AIDS and remain faithful to your partner.

To truly be wealthy and enjoy life, strive to stay healthy. Remember that to succeed in anything you must take action and remain disciplined.

You deserve to enjoy life so take action today and start looking after yourself.

We remain deeply committed to your success,
