Simple Tips For A Healthy Lifestyle For Both Women And Men
Most people think they know what it means to live a healthy lifestyle but most people's "ideas" of it are completely wrong. When I think of a healthy person , it is a person who doesn't smoke, is at a healthy weight and exercises. Is that so hard to do? I guess it is because it is not that simple for most people. The easiest way to get on the right track is to add a little movement into your life...if you need a little push, I suggest fitness classes at the gym closest to you. I prefer Equinox since it is in my neighborhood in the West Village and they have the most amazing classes! Check them out.
Now, going back to adding movement into your life...
- You can reduce the risk of heart disease.
- Improve joints and overall movement.
- Maintain flexibility.
- Reduce Stress.
- You don't have as much of an appetite.
- SELF ESTEEM
- Improve mood, anxiety and depression.
IT'S NOT FITNESS, IT'S LIFE!
There are also a lot of simple ways to move your body...here's how:
- Turning the TV on and off.
- Taking the stairs instead of the elevator.
- Cleaning.
- Gardening.
- Walk around the block.
- Play Games (anything is more active than sitting on the couch).
- When you're talking on the phone...pace around your apartment to get your body moving.
- Take the dog for an extra outing each day.
Simple ways to change your diet...here's how:
- Add more fruits into your meals. Putting fruit in cereal or salads is a great way.
- Eat more veggies, they are SO good for you and go with everything.
- Switch to a lighter salad dressing.
- Switch to skim milk and Fat-Free yogurt.
- Drink diet coke instead of regular (or none at all).
- Limit coffee intake.
