The Bahamas - Society, Community & Culture
Your body is the machine that will carry you through life. If you are in perfect health, you should hardly feel your body at all. There should be no pains or discomfort. Your appetite should be good. You should wake in the morning cheerful and refreshed, full of energy for the day's activities. And you should go to bed at night, tired, perhaps, but quickly dropping off to sleep.
Eat right, exercise, and visit a doctor at regular intervals, at least once a year. By following simple and sensible rues of good health, you can maintain a healthy lifestyle and get more out of life.
Spa Treatments
SpaSmitten delivers the essential, aromatic and rejuvenating skincare products you'd find at the spa, but without you ever having to step foot out of your house.
Get A Jump On Your Day
This fun, easy jumping squat will pep up your step by helping to loosen up your whole body, and it may not even feel like exercise because you'll be distracted by dropping and catching the bouncy weighted ball. Food Pyramid Dietary Guidelines
The Pyramid suggests eating a variety of foods to get the necessary nutrients while also consuming correct portions to maintain a healthy weight.
Start with lots of grains, breads, cereals, rice, pasta, vegetables, and fruits. Add 2-3 servings from the milk group and 2-3 servings from the meat group. Remember to go easy on fats, oils, and sweets, the foods in the small tip of the Pyramid.
