Recipes for Good Health

There are four basic methods of achieving good health. First, one has to maintain good dietary habits. The different types of food like vegetables, cassava, yam,rice, meat, eggs , and maize should be eaten in their correct proportions according to the energy requirements of the body.The food must be taken proportinately to include the various food classes like carbohydrates( cassava,yam,maize), proteins (meat,fish, eggs), vitamins (vegetables, oranges,mangoes) and fats and oil obtained from red oil , fish and animal fats.

The next recipe for good health is relaxation after work. One should make a good time for rest after work.Note that there is a difference between rest and idleness. When somebody is relaxing when he has done no work, that is idleness. Relaxation must be a result of having done some work.Hence after resting you get invigorated to do more work.It is a disservice to persnal health for someone to be so busy as to find little or no time for rest and relaxation. Therefore always endeavour to give your body a good rest after each day's work.You need at least up to six hours of sleep in a day to maintain your personal health.

Another health recipe is physical exercise. You will make time for physical exercise every day. This is not saying that every body will be a sports man or woman. Early morning jogging in your room or compound will have done the trick. Even deciding to walk that distance instead of using a Taxi is another way of exercising your muscles. The next way to maintain your health is to avoid worry, especially for what you know that you cannot do. Why then do you worry about it? Relax, and take no thought for the morrow as Christ commanded us and you will save yourself much of stress in this twenty-first century.
