HEALTHY LIVING TIPS

SLOW FOOD

Healthy Living Tips is about easy, delicious ways to be healthy. There is a false notion that healthy living is not very attractive, certainly not tasty, and yes if you bully me, I suppose I must.

Nothing could be further from the truth. Healthy food is good food. And mostly it tastes good because it is good! And if it doesn't (for example, tofu, which is very bland) then dickey it up with garlic, or ginger, or herbs, or Garam Masala. Delicious!

Here at Healthy Living Tips we are intent on helping you make the Right Choices.

"Human judges can show mercy. But against the laws of nature, there is no appeal."

- Arthur C. Clarke

To be blunt though, healthy living is also about following the laws of nature, just because there is indeed no appeal. Those who refuse will pay the ultimately penalty. Pain, misery and multitudes of visits to doctors.

"Those who won't hear, must feel."

- Dutch proverb

So it is.

It's also about a healthy distribution of time. Exercise takes time! So, I'm going to take a liberty. My first healthy living tip is to consider the benefits of walking.

Along with cycling and swimming, walking is a very good place to start. When you sing you begin with doh-ray-me, to be healthier you begin with walk-cycle-swim!

So does cooking nutritious food take time. Reading too, spending a few moments with God each day, talking to the kids ... we either spend time doing these things, or ... we waste even more time visiting the doctor, the chiropractor, the psychologist ...

A good start is to make a weekly visit to the fresh Fruit and Veg market, preferably by bike if it's within reach. Just seeing those delicious mushrooms and shiny purple aubergines ... it's the market that gets me excited about good food and willing to make the time.
