Statistics how that the death obesity people are living less and less each day. It is about utmost important that we not only have a balance diet and have a daily minimal exercise. Our young people are eating more fatty and process foods that are actually killing out younger generation. Fast food restaurants are pooping left and right because of its big business. Unfortunately, it affects the health of our people today. Doctors are constantly reminding us to watch what we eat and do some exercises which will help increase our likely hood. Here are a few facts from health-fitness-tips.com on how to keep a long and healthy life.
1. Keep Yourself Active
You should keep yourself MOVING throughout your day. Keeping yourself active at least 15 to 30 minutes a day, will help you feel good about yourself. Make sure to drink at least 12 ounces of water every time before you eat.
2. Cut the Fat
Avoid anything that has grease, process food, like Twinkies, donuts, cakes, brownies, especially McDonalds.
3. Do Not Get Stressed Out
When someone gets stressed out, they sleep less; have upset stomach, headaches, irritability, mood swings, anxiety, depression and etc. These things can cause some one to age faster more than anything. The more a person stresses out, the more they take years off their life time.
4. Wear Your Seat Belt.
Statistics show that when someone wears their seat belts then they have a longer chance in living than those who do not.

Better ways to eat healthy is to never eat past 7:00pm. Your food needs time to digest and if one goes to sleep then the food turns to fat, which gives you higher risks in blood clogs and heart attacks.

What are some of the healthy foods?
This question is asked a lot of times. Eating grains is one way to lead a healthy life. An average 13 year old boy and girl should eat at least 2 to 2 ½ cups of grain each day. Fruits, milk and other calcium foods are good to eat too. Another important nutrient is Iron which a person should consume a minimum amount of meat, beans, rice, and nuts to lead a life with out any serious problems.

    yes, our health and eating habits are important and i think that “us” as the younger generation forget that how we eat and excerise now, effects us for the future as we age.

    I really like your artcle it gave a lot of information that people don’t really pay attention to. By the way I didn’t know that you had to drink water before you ate???

    Nice article, health is important. It is a shame to see our nation’s youth and population becoming so unfit.

    Only critisism to this article is the seat belt warning. Doesn’t fit and made the article less professional. Also, getting the full 7-9 hours of sleep at night, should have it’s own #. Alot of people don’t fulfill this requirement, and with enough lack of sleep- can leave a person very unhealthy physicaly and mentaly.
