The 2 things that are going to make you feel better each day and extend your life are fitness and eating correctly.
We all know how importance fitness is. Being active in some kind of sport from running, swimming, aerobics, yoga, weight lifting, biking, etc. a few times a week.
For those getting older, doctors are recommending walking 2 miles a day, a few times each week.
Eating, on the other hand, can be a challenge in Thailand as Thai food, as delicious as it is, is also very unhealthy.
Low quality oil, carcinogens, high levels of salt and sugar, processed meats, flour ladened noodles, gluten, you name it.
How to eat correctly in Thailand is much more of a challenge than fitness.
Even with all the fresh fruits, there is a limit on how much fruit sugar (fructose) that you should consume.
Cooking at home with garden fresh vegetables, lean poultry, fish, and seafood with virgin olive is the most healthiest.
The challenge comes when always being on the go and eating out because it is so cheap.
You have to look at street food and in the local markets to those that fall into the healthy categories.
Grilled fish and chicken, papaya salad, and other healthy alternatives.
It is a challenge to eat healthy in Thailand when you are away from your house.
However, if you set your mind to being fit and healthy, you can do it!
