2. Recommendations of a balanced diet to maintain a healthy lifestyle:
There are several recommendations, but perhaps there are two points that are key to three points are crucial, the first is that in all contemporary societies there is a shortfall in consumption of fruits and vegetables in the daily diet of people, we know that fruits , and vegetables are important to be consumed by all people of all ages primarily because they are rich in trace elements in fiber and vitamins, and in the latter case especially important in preventing certain diseases like some cancers, the second point is to be decreased to have a healthy diet of saturated fats present in foods that are derived or animal are basically very red meat and greasy foods, processed meats such as sausages and basically this is increase consumption of fish wealth primarily omega-3 fatty acids that are beneficial to health then it is recommended to increase to at least two servings of fish per week.
3. What type of exercises recommended in general?
The basic exercise is recommended for health is the exercise called aerobic or cardio at the gym or cardio at the gym is an exercise of low intensity and low moderate moderate intensity and long duration is important to make this type of exercise because it increases fat consumption during exercise which does not occur with other exercises like strength training or aerobic exercise pure resistance has the virtue of increasing the strength of cardiac contraction improves heart function and improve the transport of oxygen to the tissues.
For those who have long without exercising the basic recommendation is simply according to age see if there particularly cardiovascular disease or other diseases in this case because it would be advisable to consult a physician at least before embarking on a exercise program always try to listen to your body does not do physical activity if pain is present for example joint pain could be a reflection of the pathology of a disease of skeletal chest pain or chest is also important that there is this type of pain could be the foreshadowing of cardiovascular disease in people over 35 should at least consult a physician before embarking on a program of physical activity.
4. How should I start the exercise routine?
Well, actually we do not like much about my exercise routine need to add in your third question exercises should be a mixture of cardiovascular exercise which we talked about should be some resistance force and a bit of stretch that is the triad cardiovascular fitness or aerobic conditioning, stretching and forcing some physical activity is recommended for all ages for their metabolic benefits cardiovascular real resistance or strength exercises are recommended in a slightly more specific especially about possible damage to the knee or shoulder require maintenance of muscles surrounding the joint and stretching has been a bit poor relative fitness is very important because in addition to producing an improvement of the locomotor system is known that slow stretching and slow breathing accompanied by improvements or decreases stress levels.
