Britain's Queen Elizabeth II is 92 years old, but she can still visit several thousand business meetings a year and take part in making serious government decisions. She feels satisfied not only because she is in good health but also because she is receiving professional medical help. Luckily for us, one of Her Majesty's doctors, Ali Banks, has shared his secrets with the public.
Here are the most important ideas from the book Personal Dietitian Elizabeth II, These are the basic principles of a healthy lifestyle that all members of the royal family follow.
If you lead the correct lifestyle, 80% of diseases do not require the attention of a doctor.
The most important thing that Dr. Ali tries to explain in his book is that if you are healthy, your body can handle most of the problems that come its way. Colds, cuts, mild infections, injuries, and even fractures - a healthy body doesn't need a lot of medical care to deal with these issues.
Our mission is to keep our bodies healthy, to make them able to fight internal and external attacks.
How do you understand how healthy you are
Here are some of the things Dr. Ali recommends in order to understand whether or not you are a healthy person:
* For psychological and physical endurance:
healthy people wake up and actively spread their day and get tired only in the evening.
* Straight back:
This means that all the muscles, nerves, and bones in the body are fine.
* Healthy sleep:
healthy people sleep quickly and sleep well.
* Clear overview:
This means that blood circulation is good.
Good appetite:
Healthy people do not feel any disgust about food and do not want to eat more than necessary. They eat regularly and with pleasure.
Wrinkles, under-eye circles, and other problems are not always signs of health problems. We all have different genes and physiological features that determine the speed of aging. This is evident if you look at the Duchess, Megan and Katherine: The fact that Catherine looks a little younger doesn't mean that she is less healthy.
Advice:
Pay attention to the first signs of health problems. If you get tired faster, sleep worse, or eat more or less than usual, you need to see a specialist.
You can use the tongue to check for health problems
The tongue is a great indicator of what is going on inside the body. You can use it to detect problems.
* If the edge is red, this may indicate heart problems or eating a lot of fast carbohydrates like chocolate and other sweets.
* Dark red spots are a sign of anemia.
* Yellow plaque may indicate problems related to the liver.
Deep lines on the tongue may be a symptom of an ulcer or gastritis.
A wrinkled tongue with a clear layer of saliva means you lack water.
Tip:
Look at your tongue from time to time when you look in the mirror. If the color has changed or you can see some plaque or wrinkles, you should consult a specialist.
Nutritional advice for the British Queen
Nutrition is one of the most important things for our health. For people who want to live a long life, Dr. Ali offers the following advice:
* If you can, eat foods grown on the farm.
Eat fresh fruits and vegetables instead of canned ones.
Eat enough protein. Vegetarians should replace meat protein with tofu, cheese, almond milk, and other foods.
* Replace fruit juice with carrot, apple, ginger, and celery juice.
Drink 6-8 glasses of water every day.
* Eat less red meat and replace it with chicken or turkey.
* Stop eating fried food, cheese, mushrooms and citrus fruits (except for oranges and tangerines). Eat as little salt as you can.
Once a week, eat fruit and vegetable soup and drink water.
Tip:
Watch what you eat. Not everyone can buy farm foods, but everyone can cut back on smoked foods, fried foods, and snacks.
Good meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner
Not only the quantity and quality of the nutrients, but the time is a factor too. Dr. Ali offers the following advice:
In the morning, eat light, protein-rich foods such as eggs, almonds, and cheese. You can also add fruit, cereals, and yogurt.
Lunch should be the most caloric meal of the day. The best combination is vegetables + protein + carbohydrates like turkey, salad, and potatoes, for example. You can eat a dessert that is not very sweet.
* Your dinner should be light you'd better finish at seven in the evening until eight in the evening. Avoid spicy, heavy, and sweet foods - they take longer to absorb so sleep quality will decrease.
Tip:
Make your weekly menu in advance and bring healthy foods with you to work. Eat "heavy" foods in the first half of the day.
Correct posture is the basis of health and beauty
Ali recommends simple exercises that can help keep your back straight:
* Stand or sit.
* Keep your head straight - imagine someone pulling it up.
Put your shoulders back until you feel comfortable.
Raise your chin until you feel the neck and shoulder muscles are not tense.
Tip:
Use this technique when you feel tension in the muscles in the back, neck, or shoulders. Repeat it regularly to maintain the correct posture.
As it turns out, the principles of a healthy lifestyle for the Royal Family are not very complicated, and they are beneficial for everyone. Do you have any tips people need to follow in order to look great?
