It is possible to learn how to better your health just 4
steps and this article will show you how. Each step is a bite-sized nugget of
healthy living information you can actually use.
Let's start...
Step 1: Nutritional Supplements
In my opinion, they are very necessary and very useful -
especially when combined with healthy eating habits. It is very difficult to
get all the nutrients your body needs through food alone, but combining proper
nutrition with nutritional supplements is very powerful.
That being said, one supplement everyone should be taking is
a good multi-vitamin / mineral. See it as an extra insurance-eating well is
important, but now that you are also taking a multi, you can be sure you get
the nutrients your body needs.
Step 2: nutrition
Good nutrition is very important. You are what you eat ...
remember that. Make a conscious effort to gradually improve your eating habits,
eat more good food (nuts, fruit, peanut butter, olive oil, greens, chicken,
grains, etc.) and less of the bad foods (fried food, saturated fat, high
fructose corn syrup, edible oil, etc.). Read the labels of what you eat will
tell you a lot.
You may think you are short of the power required, but you
will be amazed at what happens when you start to gradually improve your eating
habits.
Step 3: exercise
Exercise is the missing piece of the puzzle when it comes to
better health. There are so many benefits of exercising, including stronger
bones and increase libido-it's a no brainer to start doing it. Your goal should
be to exercise 3-5 times a week with a combination of cardio exercises and
strength training (but no more than 1 hour per session).
It is measured that if you add 3 pounds of muscle in your
body, this added muscle will burn as many calories as if you run 1 mile.
Muscles burn calories!
Step 4: Management of stress and sleep
Stress management and getting enough sleep each night equip
your way to better health. Until you find ways to manage your stress, it will
continue to do damage to your body. Two tips you might want to implement
include prioritizing your day each morning and practicing deep breathing
exercises (yes, you probably already know this, but have you tried?).
Getting enough sleep each night is equally important when
you consider your body uses this time to repair themselves. You should aim for
7-9 hours each night. Two tips you might want to implement include exercising
and avoiding eating late at night.
Now that you have the basics, expand this information. Step
1 research more about Nutritional Supplements, Step 2 further research on
nutrition and so on. I guarantee after 4 steps you will feel more confident
about achieving the goal of health and fitness.
