Health is wealth

By Jose Bautista

Health is the most valuable Asset anybody could have? What is money without health? You might reassure yourself thinking your Health insurance takes care of everything. But it is equally important for your contributions too.

For a family, the woman of the house plays the role of a doctor. She takes care of her kids health, spouses health and the remaining people of the family. But who cares about her health? Let us see some reasons why a woman ignores her health.

Women have so many things to do around the house that they hardly have time even get out of the kitchen. They have no time to go for a walk or do some cardiovascular workouts because they have so much to do like washing the dishes, laundry or cleaning up after the kids. Although these are good exercises, they are not good enough.

A woman's involvement in the kitchen usurps her time; she is left with no time for herself after attending to her household chores. Her job entails physical labor but it is not sufficient for leading a healthy lifestyle free of diseases.

Many women have a thick layer of fat around their waist. They think its either because its hard to slim down around the waist after having a baby or the most common one- eating too much. Frankly speaking its because of lack of exercise.

Some women are reluctant to pay a visit to the doctor when they are indisposed as they feel home remedy is the best. Their sickness gets aggravated due to this negligence.

Erratic eating habits and skipping meals either due to lack of time or to achieve weight loss also leads to health problems. Ignorance about proper diet is also a contributory factor. Overeating and skipping meals both are detrimental to good health.

Skipping meals is a common practice among most of the women. At times they don't get the time to plan their diet properly but most of the times women feel that it will lead to weight loss. Unfortunately what they don't realize is that both over eating and skipping meals can lead to severe malnutrition.

A few insights are being given which will act as a guide and help you to remain hale and hearty throughout your life:

It is also important that you don't skip meals. Eat your breakfast, lunch and Dinner at the right time and at moderation. Don't think that skipping meals helps weight loss. Your metabolism becomes slow and your body starts retaining the fat rather than burning it.

It is a very wrong notion that skipping meals leads to weight loss. On the contrary body accumulates fat, as the basic metabolic rate gets slowed down.

The false notion that skipping meals can bring about weight loss has to be forfeited. It only adds to the problem. The body stores fat as the metabolism becomes sluggish.

A natural diet rich in grains, rice, vegetables, fruits, and dairy products, taken in the right proportion promotes weight loss. The changes are permanent, unlike the artificial diets. By taking protein drinks and using slimming products you can achieve quick weight loss but, as soon as you revert back to your normal diet the changes disappear and you are back to your obese self.

It is your awareness about health and your tenacity that really counts in keeping you fit and healthy. The outcome of which will be a trouble free life with great health. - 30552
