Now that the New Year has approached, it is time to stick to the resolutions that many people around the country make around this time of year. Often, this may involve an attempt at a healthier lifestyle.
Whether one aims to join a gym, have a healthier diet, lose weight or stop smoking, it is important to stick to one’s resolutions throughout the year and for many decades to come. Remaining healthy cannot be a one-time thing – being active and following a beneficial diet is necessary throughout life, regardless of whether it is winter, summer or a busy week at work.
Some advice for remaining healthy includes checking the labels on food products, particularly the nutrition information. Foods low in sodium and carbohydrates are advised while fruits and vegetables should be consumed for their vitamins, antioxidants and other nutrients.
Cancer prevention goes beyond avoiding sugars and foods high in fat. When attempting to add healthy foods to your diet, it is a good idea to have a grapefruit or banana for breakfast along with hard-boiled eggs, yogurt or granola cereal.
As for lunch, make sure to add vegetables to your diet, such as some kale to go along with a turkey sandwich or some tomatoes and cut-up cucumbers with a bowl of brown rice. As for dinner time, it is a good idea to choose organic and natural meats and avoid an excess of red meat. A piece of salmon with broccoli and Brussels sprouts would add variety to a meal.
And it is also important to stick to resolutions aimed at increasing physical activity, as this is a proven method of preventing some types of cancer. Following these tips can help anyone remain true to their goals in 2013.
