what is lifestyle

In 1986, the World Health Organization (WHO) defined lifestyle as

“ a general way of life based on the interaction between living conditions in a broad sense and individual patterns of behavior determined by socio-cultural factors and personal characteristics ”.

The lifestyle we adopt has an impact on both physical and mental health. A healthy lifestyle has a positive impact on health. It includes habits such as regular exercise, proper and healthy eating, drinking enough quality water (for example with a purifying water dispenser), enjoying free time, socializing activities, maintaining high self-esteem, etc.

An unhealthy lifestyle is the cause of numerous diseases such as obesity or stress. It includes habits such as the consumption of toxic substances (alcohol, drugs), smoking, sedentary lifestyle, rushing, exposure to pollutants, etc.

Keep in mind that throughout your life, you can have different lifestyles. Some healthier than others. Lifestyles depend on you and your attitude towards your daily habits.

Improve nutrition for a healthy lifestyle

You are at home, in the office, at work, in the car, etc. thinking about what you can do to change some aspect of your life that, for now, you don’t like how you are doing (diet, stress, relationship with your children, exercise, eating habits, free time, etc) and you are searching the Internet for guidelines for a healthier life.

My diet limps: The myths about nutrition that have made you believe (Dissemination-Self-help)

Here are some easy tips that will help you achieve a healthier life for yourself and those around you. These healthy habits that we propose are to prevent physical and mental illnesses. By preventing we are leading a healthy life since we will go to the doctor less, take less medicine and be stronger to face day to day.

The first (perhaps the most important) lifestyle change we need to make is an overhaul of our pantry and kitchen . The products that it is not advisable to keep in the pantry for this new change that we want to make are refined sugar (white sugar), refined flour, precooked products, fried snacks, light products and sweets (chewing gum, candies, jellies , etc.).

Changing your lifestyle requires an easy but drastic change at the same time, but if you want to make a change you have to do it once and for all and get out of that comfort zone in which we were stuck and from which we want to get out but we didn’t know how. . Once we have detected all these products, we must replace them with whole-grain products (rice, flour, pasta).

 The sugars should always be honey or whole cane sugars and, if possible, even better if they are organic (this already depends on each one’s pocket, what stores or products we have near the area, etc. ).

 You always have to have fresh products at home such as fruits, vegetables, tubers, eggs, meat, fish, cheese, etc. It is essential to have both dried and cooked legumes in the pantry (lentils, beans, chickpeas, peas, etc.).

 Have canned fish very rich in vitamins and minerals. Small fish is much more advisable than large fish such as salmon, tuna, hake, etc. Canned or canned vegetables that are already cooked (cooked artichokes, spinach, peppers, green beans, etc.) are very handy as well as useful for people who don’t have time or don’t like to cook, and in a flash they can be made delicious and healthy dishes.

 Finally the frozen ones.  Run away from frozen precooked food. We are talking about meat, fish or frozen vegetables, easy to always have at home. They can be taken out in the morning to cook them when we have time.

For all these people who say they don’t have time, there are two very, very easy things to do to save time, money and have these healthy changes. These two things are: make a monthly or weekly menu  and thus the shopping list you will make according to it. It seems silly but in the end you know what you are going to eat, you can see how many times a week you eat legumes, or eggs, etc. and how many times you don’t eat something. You organize yourself, you take time to think about your meals and in the end it’s all advantages.

 The dried fruits.  They are another product that we must have in our kitchen. They must be natural or baked, better than fried because of the saturated fats. They are a very good complement to healthy diets as they provide us with fat, satiety and vitamins (if you want to lose weight, nuts should be eaten in small quantities as they are satiating). In this section you can also include dehydrated fruits (raisins, plums, dried apricots as long as no sugar has been added). They are a rich source of fiber, vitamins and minerals as well as a delicious “candy” for you and your children. Maybe the first time you don’t like it, but they are sweet and delicious, things don’t always work out the first time, be constant and little by little we will change our palate and our tastes.

 As for rice, potatoes and tubers ( carbohydrates ), as we have mentioned above, they must be whole grains and for those who have problems with heavy digestion, avoid using wheat (there are already many brands on the market that They offer corn pasta, rice pasta, quinoa, etc). However, pasta, which is another type of carbohydrate, even if it is integral, must be eaten very occasionally, once or twice a month, always complemented with vegetables and salads.

 As for salads, they make us chew, eat fresh products, a source of vitamins and fiber, and they have a satiating effect on meals. Salads can be a complete dish since we can add avocado, seeds such as sunflower seeds, pumpkin, nuts, all kinds of vegetables and even fruit (apple, orange, grapes), cooked chicken, boiled shrimp, hard-boiled egg, cheese, etc. . They are an indispensable dish in all meals. Better at mealtime since they have a lot of liquid and if they are taken at night they will make us have to get up to go to the bathroom (that is already left to the consumer’s choice).

 Eggs. This rich product has taken the cake in prizes for the winner in cholesterol, but it is not like that. The egg is a fresh product, full of vitamins, high in protein and has a satiating effect. Why do people ask how many eggs they can eat a day, worried about their cholesterol and not wondering if they eat too many sugary cookies or how many chocolate bars or sweets they eat a day or if they eat too many cereals? The reality is that it is worse to eat sugary cookies every day than to eat an egg a day. The eggs, better if they are ecological and from free range chickens. Everything depends on the pocket of each one, but remember, we are making our food a source of health. Eggs can be eaten boiled, in an omelette, on a plate, fried (this one you already know if you want to lose weight, better in an omelette or on a plate). The egg is an ally in breakfast, better a good omelette with tuna or vegetables or whatever you like than cookies or cereal. It’s a good start to the day.

 We are left with dairy . Arggg, the million dollar question: dairy yes or dairy no? Dairy products are one of the most indigestible products. There is no living being that after breastfeeding continues to drink milk. There are many varieties of milk: fresh milk, vegetable drinks and in different presentations. Yogurts, butters and cheeses are best made from raw milk and, if possible, organic or made from goat’s milk, are more digestible. If you are one of those who feel good about milk, then drink it whole.

Before we talked about breakfast, from now on it’s time to have breakfast many rich things with a lot of fiber, minerals and vitamins that will make you not go hungry all morning. Prepare a combined plate with fruit, egg omelette, scrambled eggs, hard-boiled egg, some dried fruit such as walnuts, some tuna, oatmeal pancakes or some toast. Skip the crackers and cereal. You can also make your biscuits. This way you will know what they contain (natural products, less sugar than those bought in the supermarket, natural oils and not saturated fats and you can even make them with vegetable milk and not cow’s milk). If you educate your children’s palate and teach them to eat healthy, they will thank you too.

What foods and in what proportion should you eat

We have already seen that we must buy fresh and, if possible, unprocessed food for a healthy diet. The next issue is its distribution in our daily diet: experts recommend 50% fruit and vegetables and the rest of that 50% between proteins (meat, fish and legumes), healthy fats (nuts, avocados and olive oil) , eggs and healthy carbohydrates (brown rice, potatoes, yuccas, sweet potatoes, oatmeal, quinoa, etc).

Physical activity for a healthy lifestyle

Changing to a healthy lifestyle is changing habits and habits are not only about food, but daily physical activity plays a crucial role. Start choosing to go up and down stairs instead of using the elevator. Try to go to work on foot or by bicycle, dedicating the journey to walking and thinking in a relaxed way about what you need at that moment. If you can, leave the car parked. Your pocket and your body will thank you.

Another type of physical activity are those that require activity instead of a passive attitude such as sitting down to watch television or the internet. Doing crafts, reading, painting, listening to music, doing things that we like and relax us is desirable.

Socializing is also very important for inner peace. Going out with friends, dedicating time to take care of ourselves inside and out, feeding our spirit with the things that make us happy, spending time with our children and with people who bring us happiness and are not toxic, will make our mental and physics improve.

Mens sana in corpore sana has always been said , well come on, let’s put it into practice. The reality is that we do not have all the time in the world and we have many things to do between work, food, children, etc. A change of habits is not done in a single day. But we can always take a while, half an hour a day to do something that relaxes us and we like. Little by little, that trace of happiness will remain, of doing something that we like to do for ourselves, for our psychic good, something that will help us relax and thus complement this new healthy life. Try to do what you’ve said so many times you were going to do, but you don’t dare. Try new things. Maybe you like them more than you think and it makes you get out of your comfort zone. Renewed or die.
