Diet is one of the main things people can do to keep themselves healthy. There are a lot of benefits to a plant based diet or a flexitarian diet, however those diet choices themselves are not necessarily healthy.
A person can eat meat and be healthy, what makes a diet healthy is variety. Lean meats with plenty of vegetables with oats and legumes from time-to-time and a lifestyle that includes exercise, is healthy. A vegetarian diet that consists of processed veggie burgers and cheese pizza is not a healthy diet.
A diet with plenty of fruits and vegetables, proteins, oats and grain products, calcium, supplemented with omega oils and the proper vitamins is a healthy way to eat. A lifestyle should include some exercise, moderate to heavy, it depends on the person. Vitamins is very personal as well; everyone will not need the same vitamins and nutrients, it is best to check with a medical practitioner or to verify deficiencies after a blood test.
Cut down on the salt and refined sugar, increase water intake, limit processed foods, go for regular walks; these are health tips that suit everyone. Many people find benefits in switching from coffee to tea, or switching from sugary drinks – fruit juice and soda, to herbal or fruit tea, sometimes just water.
Up to 80% of what a person puts on their body will absorb into their skin and therefore their body. Translation, if you are applying moisturiser daily and the ingredients are largely inorganic or unnatural, a lot of those ingredients will end up inside your body. Natural beauty products will also absorb into the skin, however those ingredients will complement the healthy food that one eats.
