Staying healthy always

DNA is what you inherit and your eating habits are your choice. healthy eating will ensure that nothing goes wrong and you stay healthy.

The state of your health is usually down to a combination of the genes you inherited (DNA), the food you eat, your general lifestyle and where you live. I used to know a man who, according to his wife, would only ever eat chips ( French fries or sliced fried potatos) and who had a fairly sedentary job as an accountant. But he lived in a small English vilage, took his dog for regular walks and was extremely healthy till he die of old age. If you live by a major road, you'll suffer from the fumes more than if you live in a remote valley, if you take no exercise and eat a lot you'll be fatter than if you eat moderately and take regular exercise. You have to try to balance every thing you do to get the right food intake for the ammount of exercise you take, hope that your genes are resonably good and try not to do too many things in excess (only smoke a little, don't get drunk too often, take some exercise regularly and try to get a balanced diet). But I think 1 of the biggest dangers is stress, which can create all sorts of heart problems and is easily brought on by too much worrying. Worrying about how healthy you are, worrying if you're eating the right things, worrying if you're getting enough exercise.

Yea, we can't sideline the effect of DNA in determining the health attributes of a person but food is sure one very important factor in maintaining health. Do you mind sharing what the health challenge is?

Also fruits has fibers that helps in the process of proper elimination of bodywaste. by the way we should move our bowels everyday, if not, too dangerous.. It'll become toxic in our body.

I sometimes see fruits and vegetables as life. Moreso, the way they directly impact on enzymatic functions in the body which are the main triggers of various internal body processes. Thanks

Very correct a lot of diseases are caused by various causative agents but taking proper diet can help to keep the body resistance high. Food is a part of healthy living that works with many other factors in correct order as you've mentioned.

Couldn't agree more! We prefer to built hospitals instead of good health. I've written many times about what you espouse.

God has actually given us good food for good life, we as humans has truncated the flow of nature in our quest for discovering new things and producing new things. We need a rethink now and it spread to different areas of our daily lives.

Thanks Fannekhan, really an auspicious start having you respond to my comment. Good food - good health.

Thanks, good diet = good health.
