Staying Healthy Is Less Expensive

If you would want to look at the inflation of things in the market now, you'd say my title isn't so true but maybe you should visit the nearest hospital to inquire about the amount of money people spend daily to become healthy again.

I'm not saying it's cheap to stay healthy but it is not as expensive to stay healthy as to become healthy again after being sick. So I'm guessing I have your attention now that we've agreed that staying Healthy is less expensive.

One major key to a healthy meal I've learned is to eat the right amount of calories for how active you are. If you know you don't do much after eating, you should take a very little amount of calories but if you do too much work after eating, take a moderate amount.

You burn calories when you work and eating a wide range of food helps to keep your meal balanced. I'll share my feeding habits in these following tips, I hope you learn from my not so good eating habit.

Eat more fibre starchy carbohydrates

I've always thought that eating carbohydrate meals would make me fat, and that time, I was scared of getting fat until I realised I was almost never going to get fat.

Then later on, I learnt that eating meal that are rich in fibre and starchy carbohydrate contain half the calories of fat than we think they do.

We only just need to balance them with little amount of fats like oil in chip, butter on bread or your sauce on pasta.

Eat lots of fruits and vegetables

One of the healthy tips I'm never lacking on is taking of fruits and vegetables, I actually enjoy them so much that I add them to almost all my meal especially vegetables.

Fruits are a regular when I'm out to buy stuffs from the market. Taking fruits or vegetables in different varieties daily is ideal for a healthy body.

I can't say I do take them that regular but I try my best to keep up even by taking fruit juice after I learnt about the right amount to take daily.

Eat more fish, eat less salt

Too bad, I'm a lover of meat and I can go a whole week without taking fish. It's not that I don't enjoy fish but if I'm to chose between fish and meat, I go for the meat.

Oily fish are said to be high in Omega-3 fats and this helps one to prevent any kind of health disease.

I've witness what too much salt intake can do to a human (Causes high blood pressure) so I've learnt to watch my intake of salt.

Get active and stay hydrated

It's a popular tip to exercise for health keeping but so many still fail at this and that includes me. Exercise have proven to help reduce the risk of getting serious health conditions.

Thanks to the last @dreemport challenge, I've been able to add a new habit to my list and that is taking enough water anytime daily.

Getting active through exercise and drinking plenty of fluids (water or juice or soup) will help one keep healthy and hydrated.

Other little tips include...

Do not skip breakfast and try to slow down while eating to make sure you ate well.

Try to increase your protein intake, you can take other classes of food to make a balanced diet but it's better to take more protein.

Cook at home more often, try out at least one new healthy recipe per week.

Get a good night sleep... Does this in any way relate to how we eat to keep healthy? Yes, your night meals should be light and make sure to sleep well to get a good result.

And that is all I can say about eating to stay healthy and vibrant, you can share more in the comment section.
