Eating Healthy Food Alone Would Not Help You Live Bright!
Exercise Is Combo With It!

Healthy food is food considered beneficial to health in ways that go beyond a normal healthy diet required for human nutrition. The United States, health-related claims on nutrition facts labels are regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), while advertising is regulated by the Federal Trade Commission.

There are different kinds of food in the world which help in making a person healthy. Some of them are:

Lemon



Just one lemon has more than 100 percent of your daily intake of vitamin C, which may help increase "good" HDL cholesterol levels and strengthen bones,


Broccoli



One medium stalk of broccoli contains more than 100 percent of your daily vitamin K requirement and almost 200 percent of your recommended daily dose of vitamin C — two essential bone-building nutrients,

Dark chocolate-



Just one-fourth of an ounce daily can reduce blood pressure in otherwise healthy individuals,



Potatoes





One red potato contains 66 micrograms of cell-building folate — about the same amount found in one cup of spinach or broccoli,



Salmon



A great source of omega-3 fatty acids, which have been linked to a reduced risk of depression, heart disease, and cancer,



 Walnuts


 Contain the most omega-3 fatty acids, which may help reduce cholesterol, of all nuts. Omega-3s have been shown to improve mood and fight cancer; they may protect against sun damage, too (but don't skip the SPF!),

 Avocado



Rich in healthy, satisfying fats proven in one study to lower cholesterol by about 22 percent,




Garlic

It is a powerful disease fighter that can inhibit the growth of bacteria, including E. coli,



Spinach


It contains lutein and zeaxanthin, two immune-boosting antioxidants important for eye health,



Beans


 Eating a serving of legumes (beans, peas, and lentils) four times a week can lower your risk of heart disease by 22 percent.

These foods are rich in different types of nutritive content. They make up a large part of a balanced diet. Foods which contain a lot of nutrition are sometimes referred to as "Super Food". 

Exercise Is Just As Important As Your Food!! 



         Another important aspect of a healthy lifestyle is exercise. It energises the mind and body and helps in improving our immunity. There are different forms of exercise practised in different regions, like lunges and squats, push-ups, pull-ups, sit-ups and other cardio-vascular exercises.



 Yoga originated in India and is practised in different parts of the globe. Bakasana, Bhujangasana, Mayurasana, etc. are parts of yoga. Vinyasa burns up to seven calories a minute, according to a study published in the journal Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise. Ashtanga requires strength and endurance, so you’ll get the most out of it if you practise regularly. Kundalini was developed to calm the mind and energise the body through movement, the chanting of mantras, and breathing.  Surya Namaskar, a part of yoga is believed to be essential in making a person's body fit and healthy.
          Healthy food and regular exercise makes a person fit. It improves the focus and concentration and is considered the most important part of a healthy lifestyle. So, start living healthy, today!
