Exercise keeps the body functioning and as such is one of the key essentials for good health. It tones the muscles, strengthens the bones and makes the heart and lungs function well. Exercise can also help prevent heart attacks, stroke and many other diseases.
A healthy balanced diet can maintain good health. As you get older, your diet should change to fit new stages in life. Slowly introduce new ways of eating and different foods into your diet for lasting effectiveness. Fad diets and quick fixes never last because it is not necessarily what you eat, but lifelong eating patterns that must change.
Obesity and overeating are rampant in the US today and lead to many serious health problems. Excess weight puts pressure on the heart, muscles and joints and increases the likelihood of heart disease and many other problems. For good health, your weight must be carefully managed by slowly reducing the amount of fat, salt and sugar in your diet.
Smoking and tobacco use does not lead to good health. What it does lead to is lung, mouth and esophageal cancer, as well as bad breath, stained teeth and a host of other problems. The key to good health in this area is to STOP using tobacco in any form.
An occasional drink (no more than two per day) is okay. However, keep in mind that consuming too much alcohol can lead to impaired judgment and weak motor function.
