Diet and Exercise are NOT Enough

We know that the basics for a healthy lifestyle include diet and exercise.

A good diet means an "appropriate" number of calories in the proper proportions of protein, carbs, and fats, with necessary vitamins and minerals. ("Appropriate" for our age, gender and activity level.)

The exercise part means burning calories for aerobic and anaerobic fitness, to maintain or enhance endurance and muscle tone.

There is a third part to a heathly lifestyle and that lies in knowing our body and maintaining its systems. This aspect includes annual physical examinations and tests or procedures that monitor the body's condition. Just like an automobile, the body has critical parts that need a checkup or tuneup from time to time.
