Being healthy is more than just being free of disease, also means feeling good about yourself, no pain, no aches and being in full control of our lives. I am reaching my early fifties and it is time to assess our way of living and how might be affecting our health.
To experience total health, I may need to make a few changes by eating well-balanced diet, regular exercise and reducing and controlling stress.
A sensible eating program is important throughout out life. As I get older, I realized my nutritional requirements change, my metabolism slows down, my body absorbs fewer nutrients and I require fewer calories. I may even exercise less. If I continue to eat the same amount and types of food as before, I will probably put on weight. Every now and then I will stand on my weighing scale to guard against weight gain as this can increase risk of heart disease, which will already be increased by my diminishing levels of oestrogen.

It's important to manage what and how much I eat and how I keep my body in shape. For many women, weight has never been a problem. For others, life has been a constant battle with a multitude of diets. Weight gain results when the amount of calories I consume exceeds the amount of calories I use through metabolic and physical activities.
Most women I noticed increase in weight at this transitional stage in their lives. This weight might be evenly distributed throughout the body or it will begin to appear as extra bulk around the midriff.

Being involved in the MLM industry for 25 years and associating with numerous health foods and supplements, I totally agree with you regarding our eating habits. The older we get, the more selective we have to be in choosing what we put in. The trouble is that as we grow older, most of us will make more money and the more we'll eat. More expensive and exotic food, mostly good in taste but usually poor nutritionally speaking. Talking is easy, changing is often difficult but it is worth the while.
Thank you for your unselfishness and it is good to know you.
