How to avoid getting sick
It is not a secret, what you eat affects your health. I firmly believe that eating patterns are linked to the development of health problems. If you’re the type who reaches out for a dessert in search of solace, a chocolate bar for a mental boost or a couple of cigarettes to manage your stress, I’m afraid you’re laying out a brittle foundation for your health. If you are middle-aged, you need to be more cautious, as this is a period when many people stop exercising and lose lean muscle mass and bone density due to a sedentary lifestyle.
Chronic illnesses are the outcome of a lifetime of poor eating habits. But it’s never too late. You can prevent disease or reduce the ill effects or duration of illnesses through proper food management.
Healing the body through natural means requires patience and perseverance.
Start by eliminating processed and canned foods. Substitute junk with foods that are closest to their natural forms. Beet juice is rich in vitamins and minerals and helps ease constipation due to its laxative properties. Similarly, watermelon juice is a great kidney cleanser, promotes diuresis and prevents water retention. Cabbage juice contains cancer fighting properties and helps reduce acidity, and celery sticks help reduce uric acid levels and symptoms of gout. Flaxseeds are friends of your heart, and pineapple, thanks to its bromelain content, aids digestion. Here are some dos and dont’s that will help you stay healthy
