Exercise Can Keep You Healthy And In Shape

By Janene Spinoza


You'd be surprised how many people think they have to deny themselves of their favorite foods in their striving to live healthier lives. Many likewise believe that healthy living involves constant, rigorous exercise. Actually, you'll be happy to learn that a healthy lifestyle is much less simplified, and less complicated, than that.

In your hunt for a healthier body, are you beginning to feel like you live at the gym? Well, it's fine to spend a little less time there. You can just going on walks after dinner, or even on your lunch break at the office. Many people I am friends with have a light lunch at work and then spend 20 minutes just walking around the office. Some people I know walk around inside the building and others take the time to go outside to get some fresh air and walk around. When you go for a walk, you feel better as your blood begins circulating and starts to bring more blood to your entire body, especially your brain.

There's more to it, of course. For instance, how many millions of people rise every morning and head straight for the coffee maker? Do you ever wonder why more of us don't consume tea? That way, you don't have to worry about that caffeine crash at roughly 10 in the morning. And by picking out the right teas, you may discover that you even have a lot more energy than you did with your caffeine high.

One big misconception is that you have to starve yourself if you wish to live healthy. This is just not true. In reality, you can keep on eating almost all of the foods you most enjoy just by making a couple of better choices. Pizza? Certainly. Just stay away from the frozen ones and go for handmade instead, using fresh ingredients. Certainly, they're simple and fast, but the frozen ones simply aren't healthy for you, despite tasting great on occasions. Make your own pizza with fresh ingredients. Virtually all market today have an all natural section where you can find the ingredients for you pizza. Hopefully, you now see that a healthier way of life doesn't have to exclude pizza.

Now, as you're chewing on that delicious pizza, it's time to think about giving up candy and all sugar-based foods. While this sounds virtually impossible to many of us, you'll see that it's much more effortless than you may believe. If you get hungry for a candy bar next time, try eating a piece of fresh fruit. It's much better!

If you do this, and make sure you get enough sleep every night, you'll be on your way to overall better health. Your overall health will suffer if you don't get enough sleep. But by getting a full 8 hours sleep, you can actually improve your healthmake your health better. People who only get 4 to 6 hours sleep are generally more moody. When we get our full 8 hours, we're more fun to be with and everything just seems to go well.

Obviously, you don't need to make any major changes to your everyday schedule or diet to achieve a healthier way of living. It's up to you. The determination is yours, and it's your call.
