Bahamas Health & Fitness

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.

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.
