The key to a healthy life begins with nutrition.
  A balanced diet along with consistent exercise will keep your body in shape and your system balanced.
  A well balanced diet is necessary to attain the nutrients, supplements and vitamins that your immune system and cardiovascular system need in order to correctly function.
  The intake of these supplements and nutrients will aid in digestion as well, which works to rid the body of the build up of toxins.
  When your parents told you to eat your veggies when you were younger they were not far off the mark.
  In fact, professionals state that a person should have as many as nine servings of fruits and vegetables a day.
  An average serving size is a ½ cup which in essence is only a small snack.
  But these servings will help to increase your energy levels due in part to the natural sugars and fibers that your body is receiving from them.
  If you do not have time for a healthy snack, try eating a salad for lunch.
 One large salad will equal out to 2-4 of those needed servings and if you eat an apple for breakfast you will be set for the day.
  These small servings can also help to prevent common colds, the flu and even heart diseases because they strengthen the immune system and help to keep your arteries clear.
  Pair this with consistent exercise and you can keep your body at optimum performance.
  Also, be sure to keep up to date on your doctor visits.
  Prevention is worth a pound of cure as they say.
  Your doctor will be able to give you a better picture on where you are at health wise.
  He/she will also be able to instruct you in any needed changes that you should put in place in order to remain as healthy as possible.
Health and nutrition work hand in hand, one being the result of the other.
  It is simple to achieve as long as you take the time to live right and by this it is meant to eat right, exercise often and don't be afraid to ask questions of your healthcare provider.
  It is your body and your like therefore you hold the reigns and it is your responsibility to keep yourself well cared for.
  It takes very little to achieve results that will last you for a lifetime, a very long lifetime.
