ATTAINMENT OF HEALTH AND STRENGTH

IS A CHALLENGING VENTURE

If you are serious about HEALTHY EATING avoid foods that are loosely classified as junk food.

For the HEALTH CONSCIOUS PERSON my advice for daily consumption is:

Eat one to two servings from the food group which includes:

milk, cheese, eggs, beef, pork, lamb, poultry, fish, nuts, beans and peas.

Eat three to five portions from the food group which includes:

fruit and vegetables. Place the emphasis on variety and eat portions from the fruit group raw or as a fruit salad. Where possible eat portions from the vegetable group in salads. Vegetables should be steamed to retain their vitamins and minerals. Do not over steam vegetables as over doing it can destroy their vitamin content.  Cooking vegetables in water can result in some of their mineral and vitamin content being compromised.

Choose whole wheat bread and pasta.  If you want to put butter or margarine on your bread spread a light layer as these products are fattening.

Go easy on the fat content of foods such as fat on meats, butter and margarine on bread and other foods.  Fat is essential but only in limited quantities.

If you suffer from a food allergy and do not know precisely what food source is causing your allergy, consult your doctor and request an allergy test.

Water. Our bodies consist of about 75 per cent water. Ensure that you drink about 6 to 8 cups of water daily.

CAUTION:

Not all water that you have access to is sourced from pristine lakes, rivers springs and dams. Your water may contain raw sewerage and or health destructive  chemical substances from factories or other sources.

What should you do if your water source is not potable?

Buy a tank and relay rainwater from the roof of your home to the tank.  Before drinking this water boil it, then cool and filter it before storing it in a clean vessel.

GO WELL AND STAY HEALTHY
