A Balanced Diet Gives You Shiny Skin, Free Of Acne |
|
“Your food is your grave,” said the famous dramatist
and author Bernard Shaw. He was a strict vegetarian too. “My stomach is
not the graveyard to bury the dead animals,” he said of the
non-vegetarian food.
Well, I would not like to
touch upon his second statement in this article and concentrate on the
topic of the good diet for you, that is, the balanced diet. If you take
good food, you will have a healthy body and a glowing skin. If you take
wrong food, the impurity will erupt out of the skin in the form of acne.
Have
you watched the birds and animals? They have a fixed time to eat and a
fixed time to rest. You can't make your most faithful dog, eat against
its wishes. It may obey any other command of the master, but as for its
eating, it has its own rules and regulations.
And we, the human
beings- the so called, rational beings; hailed as the crown of Creation;
most affectionate children of God! We are prepared to eat anything at
any time.
Have you ever realized that there are some more
partners in your food intake company, apart from those taste buds
dancing on the tongue? Have you ever thought about the quality of food
you partake? Do you even know that high cholesterol level leads to
hardening of arteries, which could result in heart disease or heart
attack?
Your intake of food and drink needs to be healthy. Take
sugar in moderate quantity, and get your cholesterol checked at
periodical levels. If it crosses 200, consult your doctor immediately.
And take note- you alone are responsible for your present physical
condition!
Fat in your body is measured by a method called Body
Mass Index (BMI). For a woman who is physically fit, it should be around
21% to 31%. If she is fit like a model, it could be as low as 10%. For
men, it should be between 14% to 25% levels. For an athlete body, it
could be again as low as 2%.
Remember, most of the diseases are
invited by you. Diseases do not come by themselves, unless you create
conditions for their comfortable existence in your body by your wrong
living. Wrong diet is believed to be the cause of acne attack as well.
Fruit juice is certainly good for the glow of your skin. Acne just wants
an excuse to make your skin its abode for a fairly long period.
The
golden rule of good diet is to avoid all types of junk food. Take
seasonal fruits and vegetables. Prefer vegetables full of fiber. Nature
gives appropriate things at the appropriate seasons. Follow it. Don't
confront it. Avoid artificially flavored food and drinks.
