1. LIVING HEALTHY IN THE
21st CENTURY

2. WHAT IS HEALTH
Health is the level of functional or metabolic efficiency of a living
organism. In humans it is the ability of individuals or communities
to adapt and self-manage when facing physical, mental or social
challenges. The World Health Organization (WHO) defined health in
its broader sense in its 1948 constitution as "a state of complete
physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence
of disease or infirmity."This definition has been subject to
controversy, in particular as lacking operational value and because
of the problem created by use of the word "complete"
Systematic activities to prevent or cure health problems and
promote good health in humans are undertaken by health care
providers. Applications with regard to animal health are covered by
the veterinary sciences.

3. HEALTHY FOOD
Healthy food is food considered beneficial to health in ways that
go beyond a normal healthy diet required for human nutrition.
Because there is no precise, authoritative definition from
regulatory agencies such as the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration, different dietary practices can be considered
healthy depending on context.
Foods considered "healthy" may be natural foods, organic
foods, whole foods, and sometimes vegetarian or dietary
supplements. Such products are sold in health food stores or in
the health/organic sections of supermarkets.

4. HEALTHY DIET
A healthy diet is one that helps maintain or improve
overall health.
A healthy diet provides the body with essential nutrition: fluid,
adequate essential amino acids from protein, essential fatty
acids,vitamins, minerals, and adequate calories. The
requirements for a healthy diet can be met from a variety of
plant-based and animal-based foods. A healthy diet supports
energy needs and provides for human nutrition without exposure
to toxicity or excessive weight gain from consuming excessive
amounts. Where lack of calories is not an issue, a properly
balanced diet (in addition to exercise) is also thought to be
important for lowering health risks, such as obesity, heart
disease, type 2 diabetes, hypertension and cancer.

5. ADULT HEALTH
Staying healthy
When you think of adult health, you might think about various
ways to stay healthy — from hand-washing and vaccines to
cancer prevention. Good for you! The choices you make every
day go a long way toward promoting adult health.
It's equally important to pay attention to your signs and
symptoms. Know which adult health warning signs merit medical
attention, from unexplained weight loss or changes in bowel
habits to shortness of breath and sudden headaches.
And of course, regular physical exams and adult health screening
tests are an important part of preventive adult health care. Know
which screening tests you need and how often to have them
done. Early detection can be the key to successful treatment.

6. TOP TEN HEALTHY FOOD
• apples
• almonds
• broccoli
• blueberries
• oily fish
• leafy green vegetables
• sweet potatoes
• wheat germ
• avocados
• oatmeal

7. Apples
"An Apple A Day Keeps The
Grim Reaper Away"
Apples are an excellent source of
antioxidants, which combat free
radicals. Free radicals are
damaging substances generated
in the body that cause undesirable
changes and are involved in the
aging process and some diseases.
Researchers at The Florida State
University said that apples are a
"miracle fruit".
Almonds
Almonds are rich in nutrients,
including magnesium, vitamin E,
iron, calcium, fiber, and
riboflavin. A scientific review
published in Nutrition
Reviews3 found that almonds as
a food may help maintain
healthy cholesterol levels.
The authors wrote:
"The message that almonds, in
and of themselves, are a heart-
healthy snack should be
emphasized to consumers.

8. Broccoli
Broccoli is rich in fiber, calcium,
potassium, folate and phytonutrients.
Phytonutrients are compounds which
reduce the risk of developing heart
disease, diabetes and some cancers.
Broccoli also contains vitamin C, as
well as beta-carotene, an
antioxidant.
A single 100 gram serving of broccoli
can provide you with over 150 percent
of the recommended daily intake of
vitamin C, which in large doses can
potentially shorten the duration of
the common cold.7
Blueberries
Blueberries are rich in fiber, antioxidants
and phytonutrients. Phytonutrients are
natural chemicals found in plants.
Unlike minerals and vitamins that are also
found in plant foods, phytonutrients are not
essential for keeping us alive. However,
they may help prevent disease and keep
the body working properly.
According to a study carried out at Harvard
Medical School, elderly people who eat
plenty of blueberries (and strawberries)
are less likely to suffer from cognitive
decline, compared to other people of their
age who do not.

9. Oily fish
Examples of oily fish include
salmon, trout, mackerel,
herring, sardines and
anchovies.
These types of fish have oil in
their tissues and around the
gut. Their lean fillets contain up
to 30% oil, specifically,omega-
3 fatty acids. These oils are
known to provide benefits for
the heart, as well as the
nervous system.
Leafy green vegetables
Studies have shown that a high
intake of dark-leafy
vegetables, such as spinach
or cabbage may significantly
lower a person's risk of
developing diabetes type 2.
Researchers at the University of
Leicester, England, said that the
impact of dark green vegetables
on human health should be
investigated further, after they
gathered data from six studies.

10. • Sweet potatoes are rich in
dietary fiber, beta carotene,
complex carbohydrates,
vitamin C, vitamin B6, as well
as carotene (the pink, yellow
ones).
• The Center for Science in the
Public Interest, USA, compared
the nutritional value of sweet
potatoes to other
vegetables.17 The sweet
potato ranked number one,
when vitamins A and C, iron,
calcium, protein and complex
carbohydrates were
considered.
Wheat germ is the part of wheat
that germinates to grow into a
plant - the embryo of the seed.
Germ, along with bran, is
commonly a by-product of the
milling; when cereals are refined,
the germ and bran are often
milled out.
Wheat germ is high in several
vital nutrients, such as vitamin E,
folic acid (folate), thiamin, zinc,
magnesium, phosphorus, as well
as fatty alcohols and essential
fatty acids.

11. • Avocados
• Many people
avoid avocados because
of its high fat content;
they believe that avoiding
all fats leads to better
health and easier-to-
control body weight - this
is a myth. Approximately
75% of the calories in an
avocado come from fat;
mostly monosaturated
fat.
Oatmeal is meal made from
rolled or ground oats. In the
United Kingdom and the
Republic of Ireland, the term
"porridge" or "porridge oats" are
common terms for the breakfast
cereal that is usually cooked.
Interest in oatmeal has
increased considerably over the
last twenty years because of its
health benefits.

12. TOP TEN HEALTHY DRINKS
• Pomegranate Juice
• Low Fat Milk
• Green Tea
• Orange Juice
• Beet Juice
• Hot Chocolate
• Kale Juice
• Lemon Juice
• Ginger Tea
• Cranberry Juice

13. • Pomegranate Juice
The powerful pomegranate
has been consistently praised
recently for the hefty
antioxidants it packs.
Research has suggested that
the red juice may
help prevent inflammation,
heart disease, and cancer. So
having a glass every now and
then is a good choice.
Low Fat Milk
Milk has always been there for
you, hasn’t it? Touted as an
excellent source of calcium and
vitamin D since you were a
child, it may seem like less of a
grown-up drink than other
options, but low fat and skim
milk are still great sources of
protein and other essential
micronutrients.

14. • Green Tea
A cup of green tea is a better
choice than a cup of joe when that
afternoon slump hits. You are
jonesing for a caffeine buzz, so
this will do the trick, with just
enough caffeine to give you that
energy boost but not so much
that you crash later.
Orange Juice
A glass of fresh squeezed OJ
really hits the spot, but some
feel it takes too much effort
to make on a regular basis.
If that is the case, save it for
when it will be most handy,
like come allergy season.

15. • Beet Juice
• Beets have the ability
to lower your blood
pressure, increase your
stamina, increase the
blood flow to the brain in
older adults (slowing the
progression of dementia),
and make for a healthy
liver with their zero trans
and saturated fats and
high magnesium, calcium,
and iron levels.
Hot Chocolate
Well if it weren’t for
your least favorite
monthly friend, it
might not have made
it. But if you’re dealing
with menstrual
cramps, one of the
best natural ways to
ease the pain is
through drinking
beverages with high
magnesium content.

16. • Kale Juice
Kale, kale, kale.
Everybody loves kale. It
might seem annoyingly
trendy, but there are
legitimate reasons why so
many people are in love
with this stuff. The dark,
leafy green is packed with
vitamins and minerals
that help with
everything from bone
health to regulating your
bowels.
Lemon Juice
Well, it certainly takes care
of gross stuff for us,
like cleansing the liver,
stimulating bile production,
and helping with digestion.
Lemon also brings vitamin
C to the party to boost your
immune system.

17. • Ginger Tea
• Ginger is an excellent
natural remedy for all
tummy troubles. It has
been promoted as a
way to sooth an upset
stomach, relieve motion
sickness and pregnancy
related nausea, and
ease digestion.
Cranberry Juice
Nobody likes a UTI. And
once you have one, it can
take up to 2 days after
treatment starts for your
symptoms to go away. So
let’s get on the proactive
side of things and help
prevent the UTI by drinking
pure cranberry juice, which
one study found can work
“against infections and
bacteria within 8 hours of
consumption.”
