General Health Tips
A healthy diet contains a variety of foods.
In general, we should include a range of nutritious foods and eat;
Fruits and vegetables a lot
Foods low in fat and use salt sparingly
Small amount of foods with added sugars
Foods with reduced fat milk and other dairy products
It is very important to drink a lot of water.
The medicinal effect of water cannot be compared with any other thing.
Exercise
Exercise is one important thing we cannot throw over the fence in our bid to stay healthy and young looking every time. A good balance between exercise and food intake is important, as this helps to maintain muscle strength and a healthy body weight. At least 30 minutes of moderate physical activity, such as walking, is recommended every day.
Minimal fat consumption
An adult should of necessity consume foods low in fat, especially saturated fat, which is the main fat in animal products. This fat is easily deposited as fat tissue than unsaturated fat. Saturated fat can also be converted to cholesterol and cause blood cholesterol level to rise
Eat and drink less of high energy foods
Heavy energy foods you eat may be as important as the total amount of fat in your diet. To reduce the energy density of your diet, you need to increase the amount of plant foods, such as cereals, wholegrain bread, fruits and vegetables that you eat.
This will provide essential nutrient, and reduce the amount of fat in your diet. High energy drinks such as sports drinks, cordials, soft drinks, and energy drinks also should be limited.
Consider seasonal fasting
Seasonal fasting is an alternate period of feasting and fasting. Amongst the benefits thereof are; fat loss, increased stamina, and improved cardiovascular health. Some science supports intermittent fasting: A research found a 24-hour fasting period boosted GH an average of 1,300 percent in women and almost 2,000 percent in men.
Detoxifying is not optional
When chemical substances accumulate to an extent, it results in disruption of your body’s endocrine system and trigger massive detrimental effects including serious whacks to your brain and immune system. Unfortunately, it’s hard to completely avoid them: endocrine disrupters exist in plastic bottles, metal food cans, detergents, food, toys, and cosmetics.
Avoid toxins whenever possible. Providing your body the right nutrients to effectively detoxify can reduce endocrine disruption and optimize GH synthesis.
You can detoxify with the following;
Filtered water – water deals excellently in helping to eliminate toxins. Choose filtered water so you’re not flooding your body with more pollutants: heavy metals, pollutants, and other substances abound in tap water.
Clean, lean protein – in the absence of sufficient dietary protein, your liver cannot complete phase 2 detoxification, where toxins are excreted. Thus, your diet must be rich in dietary protein.
Fiber-rich foods – among its roles, fiber binds BPA and other toxins, helping your body excrete them. Smart high-fiber choices include avocado, organic raspberries, leafy greens, and legumes.
Sulfur rich foods – detoxification pathways require this mineral, abundant in cruciferous veggies (broccoli and cauliflower among them), onions, barnyard eggs, and garlic.
Healthy fat – inflammation forces your body to hoard toxins and contributes to nearly every disease on the planet. Wild-caught fish and flax or chia seeds are among the many anti-inflammatory foods that also help your body detoxify.
Though, these strategies obviously demand some work, but your effort will be rewarded with optimal GH (and other hormonal) levels, fat loss, increased energy and stamina, and lots more.
