Good Health - What Can You Do?

The World Book Encyclopedia notes: "To achieve and maintain good health, people must have basic knowledge about the human body and how it functions. Only then can they determine what will or what will not help or hurt their health. Learning about health should be a part of every person's education."

"The best doctors in the world are Doctor Diet, Doctor Quiet and Doctor Merryman," wrote Jonathan Swift, an 18th-century author. Indeed, a balanced diet, proper rest, and contentment are important ingredients in good health. In contrast, despite the claims of clever advertising, we cannot buy good health just by taking drugs. "Unnecessary and even dangerous use of pharmaceutical products" may weaken the immune system. - Dicionario Terapeutico Guanabara.

Dr. Willett says: "Other than not smoking, exercise is the single best thing you can do to get healthy or stay healthy and keep chronic diseases at bay."
  

Dr. Willett explains: "For many people, walking is an excellent alternative to other types of physical activity because it doesn't require any special equipment, can be done any time and any place, and is generally quite safe." His advice, of course, refers to brisk walking, not just taking a stroll. He recommends 30 minutes of physical activity every day if possible.  (Check with your doctor for his advice)
