Feel Better-- it Doesn't Take Very Much!




By Lorna Freemont

America is known for our sweaty, bulbous population. Our eating habits are terrible and most of us could use a diet. Losing a few pounds is a great goal for most of its citizens.

We really ought to lose what we can. A few pounds lost can work wonders for your continued health. It can become quite discouraging to think of the standards society puts on us to make us conform to its conception of beauty. Dieting can be such an energy-sapping task! We would all love to have movie-star figures and thin, beautiful frames. It is quite a rotten task to mold our dumpy bodies into our imagined ideals. A new lifestyle and a diet variation can start the process.

There are many of us who throw up our hands in despair about getting our bodies to look the way we want. We think that even if we are completely dedicated to a weight loss plan, it isn't likely that we will ever have the bodies of the thin goddesses of the runway.

Giving your body a quick tuneup is another story than pursuing your ideal body frame. You don't have to exercise all day and eat canned spinich to see improvements. If you have too much extra weight, your energy level will decrease and you will be sluggish and slow moving. This will make your life less fruitful and enjoyable.

When you consider the way you live your life now, you can likely to come up with some fairly easy changes you can make to get more exercise and change your diet.

Let's begin by looking at your morning routine. When your alarm goes off, do you head straight to the bathroom or do you do a few streches to get your limbs mobile and to let your head wake up? If you kick-start your body, you'll be more likely to be active all day long.

If you are usually a bacon and pancakes person for breakfast, perhaps you should try some nutritious cereal and a glass of juice instead. Try this other meal three days next week and see what a change it makes in your day.

Do you live near your work? Maybe you should ride your bike to work. If your house isn't near your place of business, maybe you should park your car a a little bit away from your office to give you an opportunity to walk.

Drink water! This is an excellent way to improve your health. Not only does your body need it, it can keep you from eating too much food. Hunger and thirst are sensations that can be confused in the brain. That's why you should drink water if you start to feel hungry. Drink eight glasses of water per day to prevent this from happening.

To stave off hunger at inopportune moments, make sure you always have fruits like plums or pears or vegetables like carrots or tomatoes close at hand. You can always get your fruit and vegetable consumption done as a side item on your plate. Side salads are tasty, filling, and great for you, especially if you use a delicious low-fat dressing.

The amount of times you eat per day is just as important as the portions of your meals. Eating several small meals per day is a sure way to boost your metabolism and keep you burning fat at a regular rate. If you don't kick your metabolism into gear, your body will not be energized. On top of that, you will turn whatever food you do eat into fat, rather than burning the calories you consume.

While it's sometimes okay to splurge, it's never a good idea to fill your body with only fried or sugar-filled meals. These foods will fill up your belly and you won't want to eat any healthy food, such as salads or turkey sandwiches. Furthermore, eating these foods gives you empty calories which in turn produce weight gain. You should rarely eat foods that don't improve your health. If you sometimes treat yourself, the treat will be that much more delicious.

Healthy eating and healthy living go hand in hand. That being the case,, most people are not going to change their lifestyles completely, nor do they have to. The greatest part of taking charge of small steps to improve overall health is how simple it is!
