How do you live a healthy lifestyle? Before we get into how to make changes, what determines living healthier. Someone who eats right, consumes the correct amount of fluids each day, doesn't smoke or drink, and exercises regularly could be classed as living a healthy lifestyle.
Now if you are someone who does all the above, or perhaps just wants to improve on their current lifestyle to feel fitter and healthier, it takes making small but fundamental changes on a regular basis.
Try some of these basic tips to espace the 'bad' life you have been living, and start feeling great.
For far too many people, lack of moving around is a huge problem. They get up, have breakfast, sit in a car or on a bus/train, then sit in an office for eight hours a day! It is this lack of activity, or rather exercise which makes people feel sluggish, unfit and not wanting to do anything.
But feeling slow, lethargic and unhappy is all our imagination that this is how it is supposed to be. We all have choices. To give our bodies a far chance, we all have twenty four hours in a single day to make these small changes.
We know that exercise and eating a healthy diet is good for us, but again most of us are caught up with life and living it now. So why don't we take advantage of every moment. Some people even think that adequate exercise entails just walking from the car to the office, and shy away, which is just lazy!
If you want to feel better, you have to move around, now matter how much or how little. Even small changes can help, like walking the kids to school instead of driving them is a great idea. Good for the kids health too.
Just make these small, but significant changes and you will feel a lot more healthy.
Here are some tips that you can use every day, to keep your body moving.
Start the process by adding a little more movement to your daily routine. Every little bit counts towards a healthier you. This will gradually increase your level of fitness, while burning calories and losing a few pounds of fat.
Do you watch a lot of TV? If you have one of those HDTV 42 inch flat screen tvs, just switch it off and move around a little, instead of just sitting on the sofa. Give your four legged best friend an extra walk each day, if you have a dog that is. Add this to your new exercise regime - all it takes is getting up off the sofa and pressing the button of that TV!
And if you don't have a dog, you can always do what I do. I wake up earlier and take a thirty minute walk before breakfast. I put my walking shoes by the side of the bed each night, then set the alarm a bit earlier. But I do set the alarm earlier than normal. I really do feel better for having this early morning walk, listening to a few mp3 recordings! Do whatever you can think of from now on, to keep your activity level high. You will feel healthier in the long run.
