> Drink as much water as you can: helps flush the body, a hydrated body is a happy body
I heard of this too, but I wonder: isn't there such thing as drinking too much? If anything, I suppose it puts high stress on your kidneys and washes away salts.
> Cook your own food: know the ingredients, the less you eat the more you will enjoy it and want it to taste better
This is so that you won't eat too much, I suppose? Not everyone has such problem. Besides, maybe the things I can cook myself are not the healthiest ever.
> Spice up a salad (we have molars for a reason): a vinaigrette and some almonds or walnuts are great
This is so that you will be able to eat more of it, I suppose? Again, I don't have such problem as I taught myself to really like salads. Besides, vinegar kills white blood cells.
I am afraid, as fine a community as we might be, in questions of human health most of us are clueless. So we'd better not expect that sharing and following such fads gives more benefit than harm.
I'd better go with established sources of information on health issues.
- likpok 17y agoIf you know that alfredo is equal parts butter, cream and parmesan, you will use it more sparingly. In general, if you know what goes into food (e.g. oil, butter etc), you realize how many calories (e.g. food) is in it. Also, (generally) it is somewhat difficult to cook the heavily fried and sugared foods at home. (requires a great deal of special equipment). Stew is easy. Veggies are easy.
- mjh 17y agoThe question was "What do you do to stay (somewhat) healthy?" Nice to see such constructive responses. I'll keep lurking from now on.
- listic 17y agoSorry. Your answer is to the point. Do you think everyone should be better off without my criticism?
