    Clarence Birdseye marketed the first frozen peas in Chester, N.Y. While a U.S. field naturalist near the Arctic, he had learned the technique of flash freezing from Labrador Inuit. Freshly caught fish, when placed onto the Arctic ice in the frigid wind, froze solid almost immediately. In Sep 1922, he began a company, Birdseye Seafoods, Inc., to process chilled fish fillets at a plant near the Fulton Fish Market in New York City. On 3 Jul 1924, he organized the General Seafood Corporation, which began the frozen foods industry. Retail frozen foods began 6 Mar 1930, in Springfield, Massachusetts at the "Springfield Experiment Test Market" which offered 26 different vegetables, fruits, fish, and meats.

Hardly anybody now can find sufficient time to take of their well-being properly, as we get caught up in day-to-day routine. Yet, taking care of ourselves does not need much time and effort. It starts with a healthy well-balanced diet and regular physical exercise and you will not only feel better, but look better, as well.

Your well-being is immensely influenced by the life-style you lead. Also, lifestyle determines medical conditions you suffer from and your life expectancy. Smoking, alcoholism, bad eating habits, lack of exercise bring on life-style related health problems. Cardiac diseases, corpulence, tumours are the main life-style related medical conditions. The preponderance of these health determinants is thought to lead to a generation of children and young people who will suffer from coronary diseases and other health problems at an earlier age.

Proper dietary changes improve health and considerably reduce the risk of chronic health problems. A nutritious well-balanced low-fat diet high in fruits and vegetables will help you feel and look healthy. Conscious changes in food habits should be made by people. Dietary changes in lifestyle have durable benefits for your well-being and one of the primary steps to begin with.

Corpulence is the main cause of health problems, such as cardiac diseases, type 2 diabetes and hypertension. Watching one's weight is very important and overweight people should make a conscious effort to lose weight. Introducing exercise into your lifestyle is of importance in maintaining healthy weight, improving heart health and lowering other risks.

Lack of physical activity is an inactive lifestyle and a speedily growing medical concern. Physical inactivity is a major risk to both physical and mental health. Recent studies have shown that physical inactivity is worse than being corpulent. It brings on an increasing rate of chronic diseases, not just in the elderly but in youngsters and adults. Being physical inactive, in the long run, minimizes your self-esteem and adversely affects your outlook on life. Leading a healthy life-style can improve your health and life.
