Getting healthy does not have to be hard. Breaking old habits can be hard at first but developing new better habits will get easier the more you do them.
The simpler your health plan is, the easier it will be to stick with it over time. When you make little changes, one at a time, they are more likely to become a part of your regular routine permanently.
Here are a few simple steps you can start on today to make your life healthier:
1) Strive to get about thirty minutes of exercise each day. You can do whatever exercising you feel most comfortable with running, walking, swimming, biking, playing sports, etc.
2) Be sure to get the right ratio of macro-nutrients for each meal. Ideally you want to have forty percent of protein, forty percent of carbohydrates, and twenty percent of fat in every meal.
3) For easier digestion, try including more raw foods in your diet. Uncooked foods are often easier for your body to break down because their natural enzymes have not been destroyed by the cooking process. Older people will often have an easier time getting the nutrients they need from raw food.
4) Try to choose foods that have healthy fats like polyunsaturated fat and monounsaturated fat. These include walnuts, olives, and salmon. These healthy fats make you full and satisfied for a longer period of time so you will not overeat later in the day.
5) Portion control is difficult for most people, so take a food that contains a large amount of calories (like chocolate) and cut it into smaller portions. You can still eat what you like, but by only consuming a small amount of the food.
6) Legumes and beans of all kinds can help a great deal when you are trying to stay fit. Beans have almost no fat, are packed with protein and B vitamins, and satisfy the appetite in a way that extremely low-calorie vegetables don't.
7) Drink more water. There are many different flavored waters out there if you don't like plain tap water.
These are just a few of the tips to help you get started for a more healthier and fit lifestyle. Be sure to check back often for updates on how to health and fitness.
