Exercise, eating healthy, staying hydrated, and taking vitamins and minerals are all great ways to stay healthy, happy, and live a long life. Exercise keeps the body healthy, the healthy eating keeps the body fueled, hydration keeps the body well oiled, and vitamins and mineral supplements help replace the vitamins and minerals the body loses through natural processes.
These are all important to healthy living, but there are caveats attached to each of these thingsalways seek the advice of a professional before making a change in your diet, starting an exercise program, or taking protein, vitamin or mineral supplements.
You can seek advice from your physician, or you can consult with a nutritionist, dietician, holistic medicine practitioner, sports nutritionist, fitness trainer, or licensed herbalist. Each of these professionals have been trained for years in their areas of expertise. They will be able to sit down with you, ask you the right questions, and answer your questions. The nutritionist and dietician will be able to help you create a meal plan that best fits your physical goals and needs.
If you want to lose weight, they will help you design a meal plan with high protein, low carb, low fat foods. If you want to start a new exercise program that targets your core muscle groups, a fitness trainer will be able to create a workout or circuit that will benefit your core muscles. Staying hydrated is good, but drinking fluids high in sugars, caffeine, or alcohol only make things worse. Speaking with a nutritionist or herbalist will help you understand which vitamins and minerals to use for supplementation, and which ones to steer clear of.
