Hello everyone! Hope your all doing good. I thought I'd share some tips with you on how I stay healthy. I am defiantly not a nutritionist, but this has really worked for me over the past 6 to 8 months, so I wanted to share my experiences with you all. There are different ways of staying healthy which might work for other people, and I would recommend doing research and finding suitable ways for yourself and I hope these tips help you kick start your healthy lifestyle. These are basic tips which have really helped me lose weight and stay heatlhy:
1) Eat healthy
The first thing to do is put away all the process foods and start afresh by eating healthy. I personally stopped going to fast food restaurants, stopped eating burgers and fries. They are honestly not good for you. The reason to why I stopped eating fast foods is because I noticed that every time I would eat a burger, whether it be from McDonalds or Burger King or any other place I would get sick straight away. So I completely stopped eating fast foods.
It is important to eat 3 meals a day, a healthy breakfast, lunch and dinner, dieting is going to take you nowhere! For breakfast, I usually eat a low calorie cereal with dried fruits in it with low fat milk. I do watch what I eat, I am not a crazy fanatic of eating healthy, but having 5-a-day is important. I do feed my body, if your on a diet, your not helping your body. You need to feed your body properly to ensure it is healthy.
I do give myself a treat, once a week I do eat out so I am not a healthy eating freak. Just be sure to feed your body what it needs.
2) Drink plenty of water
I make sure I drink 9 to 12 glasses of water a day. Water helps flush any impurities in your body, helps with clearer skin and is really good to keep your hair hydrated. I have stopped drinking fizzy drinks. Fizzy drinks are really bad for your body, do not help in losing weight, and have loads of sugar in them. I always used to break-out a lot and once I stopped drinking fizzy drinks, my break-outs disappeared straight away.
3) Exercise
Exercising is very important to keep your body active. I do not go to the gym, I just exercise at home. Even though it means going for a walk or a jog. It is very important to keep your muscles active and keep the bloody flowing.
I do not exercise every single day, you need to give your body rest. I would recommend giving your body a break. I exercise only 4 days out of the 7 days a week because the other 3 days I do give my body a break so that my muscles can get a chance to replenish.
4) Yoga
Yoga and exercise is not the same thing, Yoga is a way to relax your inner-self. Yoga helps with detoxifying and relaxing the body and increases flexibility I would recommend doing yoga once a week, you can get many DVDs on yoga, so do your research.
I know these are very simple tips, but as I mentioned earlier I have stuck to this routine for the past 8 months and this has really worked for me and improved the overall health of my body. Let me know if you have any further tips.
Lots of Love
