How To Get Fit And Healthy #1: Increase Your exercise time!

If you’re like me then you won’t be moving a lot during the day due to your work. Sitting for hours at a computer can be a work of it’s own but this could have detrimental effects on your body and mind.

Did you know that being physically active has tons of health benefits such as improving your heart and lung function, clearing your mind from negative thoughts and also helping you lose weight?

Since I am not a marathon lover I’m here to tell you that moving more doesn’t have to include running a marathon, as gentle exercise is also beneficial in promoting a healthier lifestyle. (check this post on how to increase physical activity)

From research, it’s been shown that being active for approximately thirty minutes a day is recommended to get the most benefits.

This could be a walk around your local area during your lunch break or trying that dance classes you always wanted to try!

More options are available such as joining a fitness class such as yoga, circuits and even local sporting activities.

Don’t worry 30 minutes isn’t a long time when you think about it, Don’t be like other people that still make the excuse that they can’t fit this in their busy schedule!

How To Get Fit And Healthy #2: Eating well Is very Important!

Oh my, the struggle of being tempted to eat processed and convenience foods are all around us at every turn, My favorite is Mcdonals and let me tell ya, it can be hard lol!

On top of that, we have the media bombards you with images of some let’s call them healthy alternatives, but if you have some free time and you actually do some research, you end up finding out that these low-fat foods do more harm than good for eating habits.

I know they taste so good but fast food is another culprit in your diet and should be avoided most of the time (I am saying that to myself as well).

I do have treat days but something that is consumed on a daily basis is not considered a treat anymore.

If you can remember from a young age, eating a well-balanced diet is one of the things has been drummed into mine and probably your ears from a young age, but still many people still avoid it.

From my experience, making small changes and developing a better relationship with food can help overcome any overwhelming changes in diet.

I was having this idea in my mind that healthy food is also often perceived as being tasteless or boring, but if you think about it, there are so many ways you enjoy healthy food.

Why we learn how to get fit and healthy your diet should consist of lots of fruit (I love banana’s), vegetables and whole grains (yep!) plus should focus on reducing saturated fats, salt, and sugar(I’m working on that).

I know you may think this restricts your diet, but instead it opens up a delicious range of goodies to experiment with.

How To Get Fit And Healthy #3: Say Bye, Bye to smoking and drinking!

I do not smoke or drink but you and someone reading this might so let me add this tip to help you out!

Smoking is an addictive habit that can cause a host of long-term really bad health issues including more serious links to cancer and emphysema.

If you are smoking or drinking and you’re thinking of quitting then it’s one of the best things you can do for prolonged health benefits, but the path to giving up won’t be easy.

We humans form habits from doing something for a long period of time and the addictive nature of smoking forms habits that can stick with you for years even after you’ve given up and one of the hardest parts is actually getting rid of the necessity to hold something in your hand (didn’t even know that!), which before has acted like a comforter for many smokers.

If you need help in that area, there are many resources and health professionals that can help you to quit.

Also, counseling and hypnotherapy have seen good results in helping people stop for good.

Let’s talking about alcohol… this is another habit that different people may need to break in order to have a healthier lifestyle but even drinking a few times a week can have effects on physical health and your overall wellbeing.

Although I don’t support drinking, remember that consistent drinking may form bad habits and lead to long-term compulsion (which I wish no one be in that situation).

How To Get Fit And Healthy #4: Sun Sun Stay Away Trick!

As soon as the sun comes out, you probably can’t wait to get in the garden and start tanning your skin in the summer sunshine, but in the long-term, this could be bad for your health.

Although we need the sun for essential vitamin D, this doesn’t mean you need to lay out in it for hours on end. Between the hours of 10 am and 3 pm its advised to stay out of direct sunlight as this is when it is at its strongest.

The harmful rays can damage the skin and in severe cases lead to cancer.

Covering up and using high factor sunscreen is the best option if you want to get out and enjoy the outdoors.

Sunglasses are also important for protecting your eyes and making sure you have lenses that block out the sun’s rays rather than fashion focused examples will ensure you don’t cause damage to your eyes.

How To Get Fit And Healthy #5: Minding Your Own Business with a Great Mindset!

The benefits of keeping a positive mind are totally underrated, but this healthy mindset can help you accomplish many things. Even when things get tough during your personal or work life, maintaining a calm and rational mind will help you to focus on the solutions to any issues.

Stress can have detrimental effects on the body and mind, so developing coping strategies can help see through problems on a range of levels.

Don’t be afraid to ask for help when it comes to mindset, from family friends or even professionals. They are available if you need some support.

Now that you’ve read these great tips, work on applying them because they can help you live the best possible lifestyle for you and promotes a longer and more fulfilled life.
