You already know that, to achieve true health, your diet needs to be balanced and wholesome and you need to get a good amount of exercise. However, we do not always have the time or the energy that this type of lifestyle demands. Going to the gym isn’t something people want to do when they get off from work. People crave junk food, not veggies (unless they are vegetarians). The good news is that making healthy choices doesn’t have to be irritating. If you keep at it, you’ll get all of the required nutrients and exercise. Here are some of the best methods to be healthy.
Climb stairs. Rather than using an elevator, walk up the stairs to the floor you live or work on. While this will be difficult to do if you live on or if your job is on a seriously high level floor in a skyscraper, taking the stairs to a home or office on, say, the fifth floor is completely do-able. Even if your office or home is on one of the highest floors, you can decide to get off of the elevator early and take the stairs the rest of the way. Lots of people opt for the easy elevator ride instead of making an attempt on the stairs. That one flight of stairs—when taken a handful of times a day—can be just the extra boost that your system needs.
There are a whole lot of things that work toward your getting healthy. Extensive gym visits and directly defined diets are not always the answer. Little things, when done every single day, can do a lot to help you get healthy and lose pounds. Make smart choices every day is a great start. Getting as much exercise as you possibly can is another factor. Remember: being healthy and balanced isn’t just about slimming down. It is more about making your body as powerful as it can be.

The ingredients needed to make "Ropa Vieja" (Shredded beef- panamanain style):
- Get 1/4 cup cooking wine
- Prepare 6 small tomatoes
- Prepare 3 lb beef (brisket or similar - tasty and easy to tear apart or shred)
- Prepare 1 small onion (i prefer to add 1/2 or 1tsp powdered)
- Provide 1 can tomato paste (4oz or 113g)
- Use 1 each salt n pepper (to taste)
- You need 3 clove garlic, minced (or garlic powder)
- Take 1 small bell pepper (you can play with the colors, but green is whats usually used for this)
- Get 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- Get 2 tbsp sugar (or just enough to lower the acid)
Instructions to make "Ropa Vieja" (Shredded beef- panamanain style):
- Cook the brisket on boiling water until soft and tender. Seasoned the water with salt, garlic and onion (if using powder), pepper. I usually leave it like 1-2 hours.
- Once its cooked, remove it from pan and let it cool. Separate or tear out the meat. Dice tomatoes in small cubes, and bell pepper too.
- On a frying pan, add ur vegetable oil and put your tomatoes and bell pepper (if u're using garlic cloves and onion instead of powder u should add them now too). I like to squeeze tomatoes with a fork to get all the juices and flavor.
- Add your brisket on the pan and stir with veggies. Add the tomato paste and the cooking wine. Let it boil, add the sugar and taste it in case it needs more salt or seasoning.
- Add enough beef broth (water left from cooking ur beef) to the sauce. Cook it until sauce is ready and thickened.
- Serve and enjoy!
- ** This is our traditional version of a very popular dish in Panama, and other countries like Colombia and Venezuela. I have tried it also with chicken and pork and tastes good too!
- This is great served with white rice or rice and lentils with a simple salad, but i prefer it with caramelized ripe plantains for that sweetness touch (great flavor contrasts in ur mouth)
- You can also do pita pockets with your leftovers (which i do all the time and will share recipe later); or serve it with corn tortillas (not the mexican style but the ones similar to "arepas" that are fried) for breakfast or as snack.
