Staying Healthy Requires More than Just Time in the Gym, Says Douglas Battista

May 15, 2012 By Douglas Battista Leave a Comment

Douglas Battista says that remaining active and in good spirits is the key to a long healthy life.

When Douglas Battista was a boy growing up in Pennsylvania, his family spent summers going to baseball games and enjoying their time together year round. This served as the foundation for his healthy attitude toward fitness, food, and fun in adulthood.  Today, Douglas Battista is living an active lifestyle. His position as the President of North America Field Operations for Jenny Craig, a Nestlé Company and one of the nation’s leading nutrition and weight management companies, was an easy transition for Douglas Battista from the firm’s parent company, where he served as the head of Talent Acquisition.

According to Douglas Battista, growing up with a diverse diet, including ample vegetables, fruits, nuts, grains, and lean meats can set the foundation for a lifetime of good eating choices. Parents should recognize and react to children at-risk for adulthood obesity; Douglas Battista says that often it is not genetic, but a result of poor nutrition from birth. Children should also get exposure to plenty of physical activity – at least half an hour of active play a day, notes Douglas Battista.

Douglas Battista points out that men and women have different needs when it comes to fitness and nutrition. Women traditionally have lower BMI’s than men, and men tend need more protein in their diets that their female counterparts. Douglas Battista notes that pregnant and nursing mothers should pay closest attention to their nutrition and activity levels, as the health of their babies are also affected. These women need an average of 300 calories more per day for their body to keep up with the demands of their growing infants.

Staying healthy isn’t just about what kinds of food are in a person’s diet or how much they move, remarks Douglas Battista. Another important aspect to maintain an overall healthy lifestyle is avoiding stress and keeping a positive perspective. Douglas Battista reports that those with healthy relationships and those who don’t let life’s pressures get them down tend to naturally gravitate toward the good thing in life – including plenty of exercise and a balanced diet.

Finally, Douglas Battista claims that having fun and enjoying all that life has to offer is another way to maintain an overall sense of health and well-being. They say that laughter is the best medicine; this has been proven time and again through various research programs worldwide. Laughter is known to decrease stress, increase pain tolerance, and provide a deep inner-belly workout for the diagram. Additionally, adds Battista, there are numerous social benefits to laughter, as it connects people and elevates the moods of all those within earshot.
