Why Are Lifestyle Habits So Important?
in
Recognize that lifestyle choices are incredible tools that can determine whether or not you gain excessive weight, develop risk for diseases or develop frank disease.
If you choose to exercise daily, eat up to 10 servings of fruits and vegetables daily, eat fat free (as opposed to full fat) dairy foods, eat less red meat and the skin of poultry and more fish and non-meat proteins, drink water instead of soda and other sweetened drinks, eat whole grains rather than white or processed grains, minimize sugar and salt usage, use healthy oils for cooking like olive oil – just some of these habits can be as powerful as medicine. Of course, even eating healthy requires that you pay some attention to calories and serving size or portion size of the foods you eat. It is possible to "over-eat" healthy food, and those extra calories mean you run the risk of excess weight.
