Keeping in The Pink

Keeping in The Pink

Do You Keep in the Pink? This is a phrase that was originally used to describe the skin of a newborn baby. That newborn baby skin is pink and is considered so healthy. And no matter what our age, we all want to consider ourselves in good shape and in the pink of condition.There are many ways to “keep in the pink” and I have described many of them in my book “Reaching for 100”.

I have listed a couple for you to get started on that road to wellness and energetic living. For instance, are you drinking enough water? Or look at it this way – what else do you drink? Do you drink soda? Do you drink a lot of juice? Do you drink a lot of coffee or those coffee drinks that contain such large amounts of calories that you wonder why you cannot lose weight? I drink at least six glasses of water daily; I have my two cups of coffee in the morning, I drink probably at least two large cups of green tea every day, I drink tomato or vegetable juice sometimes and occasionally I will have a glass of red wine with my dinner. This is one of the ways that I keep in the pink.

Fruits and vegetables – at least five servings a day. These are considered nature’s antibiotics – so you can imagine how nicely they will keep you in the pink.

How about exercise – do you get your thirty minutes of brisk walking or treadmill walking, or bike riding, or running on a daily basis. That exercise is so important for many reasons. Just to name a few – keeps your heart pumping, keeps the oxygen at optimum levels, keeps your skin healthy, keeps your brain functioning efficiently, helps repair your cells, and of course, is a primary aid in keeping your weight levels where they should be. So consider all or at least some of the above when you contemplate just what keeps you healthy and in the pink of condition.
