Step # 1- Cut down on Baked Goods, High Carbohydrate Foods & Potatoes
High glycemic index foods raise your blood sugar levels almost immediately.
Replacing even a single serving of these foods with non-starchy vegetables can lower the risk of high blood pressure and diabetes.
Consider that French fires cannot really be called potatoes after being subjected to trans fats, grease, and salt.
Starchy food should not take up more than a quarter of your dinner plate.
Step # 2 – Physical Activity- exercise in any form provides better heart health and increases your lifespan and reduces risks of stroke and heart attack.
We are not talking about only hitting the gym, but simple things like doing house chores, washing the car, gardening or going for walk every day.
We at the Saturday Morning Diet keep stressing that physical activity is not about weight loss because research shows that you don’t lose weight by exercising, do for anti-ageing and good health.
Step # 3 – Stay Involved With People
If you want to have longevity in your life you must have people in your life.
People with strong social skills tend to live longer and have happier lives.
Research shows that people with good social skills are healthier, have lower stress levels and less depression.
Keep in contact with friends and use them as your sounding board when life throws you curve balls.
