Improving and maintaining your health can be enjoyable

Eat to live

We all know about the dangers of drinking too much alcohol, consuming too much sugar (which you’ll find in a shockingly high number of processed foods), and eating too many fatty foods. They might make you feel good, briefly. But they won’t make you healthy. The thing is, truly nutritious food can be more tasty and satisfying than, say, processed meals or fast food, both of which are typically loaded with sodium and unhealthy saturated fat. Taking a little time to cook your own meals can be a satisfying pursuit in itself, plus your body will thank you for the healthy sources of nutrition and energy. Turn to page 18 for some tastefully simple recipes.

Keepmoving

Everything health experts and our doctors say about exercise is true. And the more we move, the more we want to move. Just remember to get your doctor’s advice on the types and amount of activity that will work best for your body before you start any new exercise routines.
