1. The Triad Of A Healthy Lifestyle

2. Nowadays, people are dying before their time and from diseases that are highly preventable
through simple lifestyle changes. The World Health Organization revealed that the leading
cause of death is not anymore infectious diseases but no communicable diseases (NCDs).
NCDs were responsible for 68% of all deaths globally in 2012, up from 60% in 2000. The four
main NCDs are cardiovascular diseases, cancers, diabetes and chronic lung diseases.
These leading killer diseases are also called degenerative or lifestyle diseases. Compared to
infectious diseases, lifestyle diseases are not caught like the flu nor do they develop
overnight. You can hug, kiss, or make love with someone with diabetes and you are not at
risk of contracting the disease.

3. On the contrary, lifestyle diseases develop over a long period of time that they do not
alarm us in any way. A little neglect here and there – a scoop of ice cream, a few
French fries, a sip of soda, overeating, skipping exercise – these things do not hurt us
instantly. And because of that, we are bound to repeat them until they eventually
become our habit. Then one day, we receive the shock of our lives. We have cancer!
“But how come”, we ask. “No one in my family ever had cancer”.
That is right. And it is probably because our descendants had a different lifestyle than
ours. They ate food straight from their garden. They moved around a lot. They did
not worry too much. They had lesser pollution. So you see, these degenerative
diseases are not necessarily genetic. We also acquire them through our lifestyle. The
great news is they are easily preventable and reversible in some cases – with
discipline and the right choices in how we live our lives. We have to understand that
we do not become healthy by chance. Health is a choice.

4. Dr. Ray Strand, a specialist in nutritional
medicine and best-selling author of What
Your Doctor Doesn’t Know About Nutritional
Medicine Is Killing You says there is a triad
to a healthy lifestyle. That is – “a healthy diet
that does not spike one’s blood sugar; a
moderate, consistent exercise program; and
taking high-quality nutritional supplements
for cellular nutrition”. The secret, he says, lies
in all three being implemented in a carefully
balanced fashion.

5. Diet
Diet is a huge factor in our health. By choosing the
right kind of foods, we can maintain a healthy body
and reduce our risk of illness. Food is meant to
nourish and heal us if we make the right choices.
Nowadays, diet plans have become popular
because of obesity and obesity-related illnesses.
The thing with diet programs is they work in the
short term only. If it says “lose 10 pounds in a week
using our planned meals”, more or less we will
indeed lose those ten pounds but we are sure to
get them back and more. That is because after the
program, we go back to our usual unhealthy diet.

6. Another issue with diet program meals is that they can be
more expensive and sometimes their ingredients are hard to
find that they are unsustainable. It is important that our diet is
something we can sustain for life and not only for a week or a
month if we intend to live longer. Titanium Success released a
Food Guide identifying what to eliminate, what to avoid, what
not to overdo, and what to have a more of. The Guide
provides a wide array of options that we can mix and match
so we do not have to endure boring planned meals.

7. Exercise
o Physical inactivity is as much of a health risk as smoking! Our body is created for movement that if
we do not move often enough, it will start to deteriorate in its efficiency. Our organs like the heart
and lungs will not function well; our joints will become rigid; and our muscles saggy. But for many of
us, exercise is too time-consuming especially if our kind of exercise is going to the gym. A one-hour
schedule could stretch on to three hours to include travel to and from and taking shower after. That
is why when we get too busy, we begin skipping going to the gym and before we know it, skipping
has become our norm.
o A solution to this is to develop an exercise program that easily fits into our lifestyle. It could be taking
the stairs at work or in the mall, parking far so we have an opportunity to walk to our destination,
walking the dog in the neighborhood, playing with the kids at home, or doing household chores.
These things are easily embedded in our daily routine. If one is obese though, he or she may need to
do more but for regular people trying to shed off a little weight or maintain their weight, these
activities are perfect.

8. Supplementation
o Gone are the days when we got all our nutritional requirements from food. Our
soil is depleted from minerals. Farming practices are highly commercialized.
Foods are grown in unnatural ways. These have resulted in the sharp reduction
of the vitamin and mineral contents of the food that reach our dinner table.
o This is one of the reasons that the Journal of American Medical Association has
reversed its stand against supplementation. Acknowledging the fact that we
cannot get optimal amount of all vitamins from diet alone, Drs. Fletcher and
Fairfield of Harvard University who wrote JAMA’s new guidelines said that “Sub-
optimal intake of some vitamins, above levels causing classic vitamin deficiency,
is a risk factor for chronic diseases and common in the general population,
especially the elderly.” They further say that, “it appears prudent for all adults to
take vitamin supplements. Physicians should make specific efforts to learn about
their patients’ use of vitamins to ensure that they are taking vitamins they should.”

9.  However, we should be careful to take only the best quality supplement because we might be
harming ourselves more by taking the wrong kind. We should also beware of popular supplements
advertised by celebrities because celebrities are not nutrition experts. We can check reviews of
experts and authorities like a nutrition doctor or the Food and Drugs Administration for safety and
effectiveness to make sure we are getting our money’s worth.
