Healthy Weight Measures
We
can learn about the future by looking at
the past. As in the case of nutrition,
one would think that we would be far-advanced,
but not rightly so. The USDA Pyramid's
recent shattering into a dozen more pyramids
is a good example of just how far back in
the sticks man is when it comes to knowing
all about nutrition. And now the news is
that if we have a little extra padding,
we just may live longer than our non-padded
counterparts.
If
we had bottled all the facts, obesity would
be obliterated by now, and malnutrition
would be resting in the Arms of the Dark
Ages. The health community is continually
going back and forth, contemplating
number of servings, changing healthy weight
recommendations and so forth. And
we continue to learn about the future by
looking at the past.
Until
all the facts are determined, we would suggest
the following in regards to weight:
- The
weight that you feel best at is probably
the best weight for you. Ditch
popular weight charts and listen to
your good sense. Just because
Freeda is 5'10" and weighs a certain
amount, doesn't mean that you need to
also if you are 5'10". You
may hold more muscle mass, or have a
larger or smaller frame than Freeda.
- Don't
look to the Stars when it comes to being
a perfect size and weight. The
cameras these days take OFF ten pounds.
- Don't
be too restrictive in your diet based
on all the latest and greatest health
news. Unless it's set in Diet Stone,
it's all Diet Speculation.
- Do
enjoy a healthy diet filled with fresh
fruits, vegetables, lean protein, nuts,
and skimmed dairy products. Limit fat
intake and opt for olive oil.
