Heart Disease - Strokes - Dementia and More

in #health6 years ago

I have to confess I'm finding it a bit hard to see how in this day and age with newspaper headlines, online sites, the local and national news and talk show circuit hosts all talking about how your health directly correlates to you nutrition and activity choices - if you have high blood pressure and diabetes - you will be at risk for additional health problems - in this case dementia.

The same artery clogging fat and plaque you eat can cause: heart disease, diabetes, strokes, cancers and dementia. Yes what you decide to eat on a regular basis and whether or not you move - causes risks for disease and disease itself. There - now everyone knows!! The challenge is to get you to "act" on this information. Let me make it easier. You don't need to be the biggest loser - but you do need to gradually lose some bad habits and embrace some healthier ones instead.

Agree to make the following changes over an 8 week period:

  1. Commit to a walking program - even 15 minutes 2 or three days a week - to get started. Then add on more days and more time.
  2. Replace one snack with a fruit or veggie snack and commit to a fish meal once or twice a week
  3. Switch over to flavored low cal waters if you are a soda drinker
  4. Go to open face sandwiches with whole grain bread. Pile on veggies as well.
  5. Start your day with a healthy breakfast
  6. Begin to plan menus for the next day so you're not "winging it."

Sometimes slow and steady stays the course - give it a try!!
