Everyone writes about weight loss and diets these days so I
wanted to write an information packed article about the
benefits of good health. What most people don't realize is
that when you focus your attentions on practicing the right
steps towards a healthy vibrant lifestyle you will very
rarely find yourself over weight or battling the diseases
that go along with poor health.
Hypertension ( stress), Bad Cholesterol, Obesity, High
Blood Pressure.
Do these words sounds all too familiar?
These are the buzz words of our time...listen to the news
or read a magazine, its all that we hear these days. This
is the legacy we pass on to our future generation. These
are the words that describe poor health.
Unfortunately, all of our focus these days is on Diet and
body image when it should stress the importance of good
health. Society dictates that thin is in! The advertising
industry invests billions of dollars in the marketing of
miracle fat burners and quick loss schemes that promise
amazing overnight results. The fact is that most fad diets
are developed by people with little to no scientific or
health background.Most quick weight loss diets may produce
short term results that in turn prove harmful with long
term side effects for the very people who suffer from the
health problems I have listed above
Your body weight and clothes size is not a reliable
indication of a healthy person. No two people have the same
body composition. Ask any doctor or nutritionist and they
will likely state that the true measure of health and
longevity has mainly to do with proper diet,healthy eating
habits, a high degree of exercise and most of all a sound
mental outlook on life.
Good health is not hard to achieve. Below is a complete
list of healthy habits to practice throughout your life and
I can almost guarantee that when you focus on your health,
the excess weight will naturally take care of itself
Check List For A Healthy Lifestyle
1. Eat a well rounded diet each day consisting of fruits,
vegetables, whole grains, lean protein and calcium rich
foods.
2. Replace large meals with 5 small low fat, high fiber
meals.
3. Drink plenty of water. Make sure to drink at least 15
oz. of water in the morning to start your day. This will
hydrate your organs and body and get your system off to a
good start.
4. Limit your alcoholic beverage intake.
5. Limit caffeine intake and all other beverages that
contain fat or high amounts of sugar.
6. Practice deep breathing exercises. When you breathe deep
through your diaphragm and exhale slowly, this will reduce
daily stress and stimulate your lymph nodes to help cleans
and flush toxins from your body
7. Do at least 30-45 minutof strenuous exercise per day.
This will burn calories, rev up your metabolism, tone your
muscles and also reduce stress levels.
8. Take a good multi-vitamin along with certain natural
supplements that will enhance your energy level and replace
important nutrients not absorbed with your meals. * Note:
Consult with your doctor or a licensed nutritionist before
setting up your dietary plan.
9. Be good to yourself! Do something each day that brings
you personal joy. Read a good book, travel, meditate,
garden, enjoy your pets,spend quality time with your
spouse, get together with friends. All of these are good
suggestions that will relieve stress and create a healthy &
positive state of mind.
To Your Good Health & Healthy Weight!
