What is a 'normal lifestyle' for my life stage?

 

This is the question each of us have to answer based on our own individual needs and aspirations, however “happiness” features in most peoples requirements and as we know “The key to happiness is health”. Arthur Schopenhauer the famous philosopher once said “The greatest of follies is to sacrifice health for any other kind of happiness”.

In recent times we are finding that even “macho men” are becoming a lot more aware of their health and the need to have a balanced lifestyle, eliminate obvious health eroding habits and focus more on a nutritious diet and an appropriate fitness routine.
As more and more research and information becomes available on lifestyle diseases and the role that nutrition and “nutrition busters” have on our health, a huge focus on men’s health has emerged.

The basic factors to live a naturally healthy lifestyle have not changed much over the years and remain fairly obvious, however what has changed is our lifestyles. Our lives are far more stressed, fast paced and often reliant on “fast foods” while also being seriously affected by anti-nutrients like pollution, man-made food chemicals and additives, food processing, genetically modified foods, pesticides, pharmaceutical drugs, recreational and street drugs and the excessive use of alcohol, smoking and the consumption of sugar, coffee, tea, impure water and fried foods. A sure recipe for disease, suffering and premature death.

Through this section we hope to expand your knowledge on issues that relate to each life stage and introduce you to healthier alternatives that will positively contribute to a long and happy life.
