Steps towards Living a Healthy Lifestyle

[AnGeL EyEs]

The #1 killer among men and women in America is heart disease. Conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, and high cholestrol can lead to this disease. The importance of living a healthy lifestyle is crucial for everyone...young and old...whether you have a family history of such diseases/conditions or not.

List some specific conditions and diseases that are of concern to you (perhaps those that you have a family history of) and what preventative measures are you taking towards living a healthy lifestyle for yourself and your family?

i don't have any such family history allhamdulillah , and i'm so fond of our traditional food .......... so in order to eat and stay healthy while enjoying all sort of yummy dishes , i've gradually cut down on salt , oil/ fat, sugar, and red meat intake, and all sort of fatty + high caloric snacks ( try to replace them with fruits) , esp to stay free of hypertension , diabetes and high cholestrol as long as i could............... also i prefer to have water instead of soda whenever i have a heavy or high caloric meal

I have the following family histories:
Heart Disease
Diabetes
High Cholestrol
Hypertension
Cancer
Arthritis

Apart from my annual physicals, I maintain a healthy weight, try to do pilates 2-3 times a week, eat a balanced diet, low carbs, low fat, and take a multivatimin, calcium and antioxidant complex.

I should exercise more.

i dont have any family history by the grace of Allah...but i do take much care regarding cooking...like the food which i cook at home is low in salt rather no salt at all, somewhat low in mirch..i use canola oil for cooking...parathay and stuff like this i dont make...we use brown bread,low-fat milk, low fat yogurt...for roti i use brown atta...for chawal i sometimes use brown chawal and sometimes when i cook the normal white rice..i always drain the starch away...

no chips...but sometimes chocolate we do have...low fat and no sugar added ice cream is used....

so Alhumd. everything is going fine and smooth
but when we go to pak..sara kuch baira ghurk hojata hai...laal shorbay k baghair sallun nai buntay...buhut mirch aur nammuk b...buss sara kuch opposite he hora hota hai...!
