In ancient times, people lived in a struggle to survive everyday. There was nothing to make life easier—no technology, no tools, just instinct. There was also little to protect them from diseases—no medicine, no hospitals, just instinct, once again. Today, there are already technologies that make life easier, medical supplies to cure all types of pain and ease every little discomfort you may feel. But, many are still unhealthy and many still suffer from diseases. Healthy living is still elusive.
One problem is that there are already too much at present such that most people no longer have to exert efforts to do their daily tasks. There are more cars, for instance, so many individuals seldom walk long distances anymore. Whereas the problem in the past was lack, the problem in the present is over-abundance. Whereas people die of lack in the past (think of malnutrition and famine), many people today die of hypertension and heart problems associated with excess (think of foods excessive in fats and cholesterol).
The Components of Good Health
Many people are in a search of a healthy living, but what is really the component of good health? How do you achieve overall well-being and a healthy life? When you closely look at the concept of health, you will find out that it all boils down to the following three concepts:
• Proper Nutrients. Whereas you will already find a lot of health pills, diet capsules, and all other artificial medicines formulated to promote health today, it’s important to know that the best means to getting healthy is still the basic—fresh fruits and fresh vegetables and natural foods rich in vitamins and minerals. No health pills can ever be better than these.
• Balance. Another key to getting healthy is a balanced lifestyle. It’s not all about food, nor is it all about exercise. It’s a balance of both. Include fruits and vegetables in all your meals, plus meat and fish every now and then. Get your daily dose of protein, iron, zinc, and other vitamins. Exercise regularly. You don’t even need to go to the gym to do this—doing your household chores and going on daily walks is already a form of exercise.
• Proper pace. Being healthy is not all about getting exercise as often as you can or eating as much nutritious food as you can handle. You can’t force it to happen at once. The proper step toward good health is one of consistency and steadiness—just the right amount of food and exercise regularly. It takes a lot of discipline to maintain a consistent routine and a great patience to wait for the result. But at the right pace, you’ll surely arrive at your destination more fulfilled.
By keeping these three components in mind and by making them your starting guide, it would be easy to find the right direction toward good health. And when you finally achieve a healthy living, you’ll realize that the benefits are all worth your effort and time.

How can a person live a healthy life without a spleen? (splenectomy) How does the body compensate?I don't understand how the body functions without its spleen. Where is the compensation? I am curious how when a person needs a splenectomy from a car accident per se, that they can still be healthy and lead a normal life if their spleen had to be removed?

Why didn’t you put hurdles on the Treadmill?!
You will lose more body fat eating protein and fat (don't eat protein alone) than not eating AT ALL. To lose weight fast eat all you want but nothing but meat, eggs, healthy oils, mayo, butter and half an avocado a day (you'll need added potassium). Keep your fat percentage high. Adding in green vegetables & some cheese will continue weight loss but at a slower pace.
If you starve yourself, your body will freak out and will want to store every ounce in case it doesn't get nourished again. You need to give it adequate nourishment so it doesn't slow your metabolism down to adjust for lower calories.
Simple carbohydrates (sugar, flour, bread, cereal, pasta, potatoes, rice) triggers insulin which can store the calories you eat into fat. The more protein you eat the more the fat burning hormone glucagon is released. The more carbohydrate you eat the more the fat storage hormone insulin is released.
High insulin levels unbalance other hormones. Controlling your insulin level will balance out other hormones & allow human growth hormone (HGH) to be produced naturally so you will gain lean muscle even without exercise. Any exercise will greatly increase your muscle mass with high HGH levels.
Reducing body fat and increasing muscle mass will have you in awesome shape in no time. Good luck!
Well, I found a book series on Amazon called "Eat This, Not That," and I think it could help tremendously. It tells about foods that are extremely bad for you and a healthier alternative that tastes just as good. This one could really help you: "Eat This Not That! for Kids!: Be the Leanest, Fittest Family on the Block!"
I've given you a link to a website from the Food and Nutrition Service from the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
MorningStar has some really good foods there that are healthy–some are organic, and some are meat-free.
Hope I helped! Good luck with everything!
Now THAT’s science!
drop it in
It’s like Science!
Get the 2 pound steak…
Salmon is healthier than steak… Buy a small portion of salmon and eat vegetables

If you have a Costco near you and can afford the yearly fee (I believe it's about $45), they have a lot of organic foods. You have to buy in bulk which is more out of your pocket at once, but it costs less than buying the same amount in the regular grocery store. The salads aren't very expensive. A little under $5 and there's enough to last you for quite a while. They also have many other organic foods throughout the store.
Go Shrimp Go!

Rice and beans are very healthy (if not a little boring)- get some store brand salsa and mix it in to jazz it up. Also, search amazon.com for words like student cookbook, money saving cookbook, cheap cooking, etc.
