We only have one body. If we want to survive well into our old age we have to learn how to take care of it. In this chapter, I’ll share some very useful health tips which you can use to ensure your body is in tiptop shape. Remember to consult with your doctor first before you attempt to do any of the tips I’ll discuss below.
EAT HEALTHY Reinforcing positive and healthy eating habits help ensure you get enough nutrition for your body. I’m not talking about eating fast food here. I’m talking about healthy, home-cooked meals that are chock full of vitamins and minerals for you. Here are some good eating habits you should develop: Eat vegetables at every meal Eat whole foods as these are rich in phytochemicals Eat protein every day to ward off muscle loss Drink plenty of water (at least 8 glasses a day) Supplement your meals with a multivitamin and maybe fish oil as well Eat slowly for better digestion and greater satisfaction with your meal Use a smaller plate to help make you feel full faster Don’t go back for seconds and thirds
