Question 1

if i am teenager and want to live healthy life style should i eat saturated fat or not as study show it is healthy

Accepted Answer

Reduce saturated fat: Today's general medical advice is to eat more unsaturated fat from nuts, vegetable oils, and fish, and less saturated fat from red meat, organ meat and whole dairy. But for whole dairy we can substitute low fat dairy (1% milk, skim cheese, yoghurt, egg white omelets); and for animal fat we can substitute white meat (chicken without skin) and some lean red meat (try bison burgers).

Question 2

how do we live a healthy life?

Accepted Answer

Key Word: Life Style: Exercise. Eat 5-9 servings of fruit and vegetables a day. Sleep 8 hours a day. Manage stress. Drink 8 glasses of filtered water a day. Avoid artificial sweeteners, pop, tobacco, chemicals, white sugar/flour/rice/, flouride, mercury fillings. Add omega 3's and vitamin d & a well absorbed multi. Love much and forgive all. You will then be far ahead of the experience here.

Question 3

Accepted Answer

That's a very broad: Question.  If you mean what choices can i make to stay healthy, the tired and true diet and exercise are fundamental.  A consult w/a nutritionist may help.  Peace and good health.

Question 4

is a spleen necessary to live a healthy life?

Accepted Answer

No: The spleen functions as a contributor to the body's immune system. Removal of the spleen will result in an increased risk of infections with certain organisms. There are vaccines available to prevent infections against these organisms. The risk of serious infections is less than 1%. Most people without a spleen can lead normal lives.

Question 5

is there a way that i can live a healthy life as a vegetarian?

Accepted Answer

Yes: If you're a vegetarian, take increased amounts of protein from foods like beans to make up for the loss from animal products.  If you have kidney disease, check with your doctor first before doing this.  Also, you need a B12 supplement esp if you also don't eat eggs. If you don't consume dairy, take a ca+d supplement as well.  They come in pill form and a few candied forms like mini-chocolates.

Accepted Answer

Eat less & exercise: Great!you realize the best weight loss is not from a temporary diet! sugars/simple carbs from grains esp. Cause weight gain. I like dr.

Question 7

is there a way that i can live a healthy life as a vegan?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely!: You can very easily live a healthy life as a vegan, assuming you don't have a baseline gastrointestinal/absorptive or nutritional issue (such as celiac disease).  Be sure to take in plenty of protein (beans, lentils), calcium supplementation since you're not consuming dairy products, and B12 supplementation (from meat, eggs, dairy only).  B12 deficiency leads to blood and nerve problems.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

Yes: You can live a mentally healthy live with HIV -- IF you accept your condition unconditionally and never, never, ever, put yourself down about your condition. Self rejection is a major cause of an unhappy and unhealthy life.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

Allergies: Many people categorically refuse to allow allergies to hold them back from anything, and to this end, they go to an allergist and get inoculations against the thing(s) they are allergic to.

Question 10

Some simple basics: Living healthy is a complicated science, but it does require effort.  It focuses around the major issues of making sure you sleeping well/enough, making sure that you are eating healthy(focus on colorful fruits and veggies, whole grains and lean proteins, avoiding processed foods), remaining active, minimizing stress and keeping strong social bonds.
