The warm weather is finally upon us. You can’t help but notice how great some people look in their shorts. You are now feeling motivated to get healthy. How do you begin?
By following these 6 suggestions, you will at least be on your way. Every successful story has a beginning and perhaps today is your day.
The first tip is to get out and walk. You don’t have to go and spend a lot of money on a gym membership. You don’t have to invest in workout equipment. Just start by walking.
Walking is a great way to break in your body. As you make this a habit (preferably on a daily basis), you will be ready for additional types of exercises later on.
The second tip is to replace your juices, sodas and other beverages with water. Make it your goal to stick to water and enjoy the other stuff on occasion.
The third tip is to eat more fruits and vegetables. This is the time of year when these foods are their freshest. You might also consider growing your own garden, so you can enjoy the fruit of your labor.
Replace snacking with these healthier choices. You will be amazed at the difference you feel in your body.
The fourth tip is to turn off the television. Why waste these warm days indoors watching TV? Get out and get active.
A sedentary lifestyle increases your chance of health problems such as heart disease and diabetes. Limit your time online as well.
The fifth tip is to quit smoking. Smoking is a risk factor for a variety of serious health conditions.
Lastly, engage the whole family in beginning a healthier lifestyle. Walk or garden together. Cook healthy meals together. Encourage your children to spend more time outdoors.
