A lot of people, when they come to college, don't realize how bad their diets are until they start gaining the infamous "freshmen 15". Here are a few steps anyone can follow to stay or become more healthy.But it takes you just a few seconds to know something, maybe so useful.
- In years ago people said heath is just not being ill. But nowadays it has an other definition."Being healthy" is more than just not being ill. It has many parts as body health & mental health. Mental health is just as important as physical health.
- Being healthy in past years was to have the health of each cell by whole body, but now we serach and try to have each cell's health and whole bodys health is a result!
Steps
- Focus on today. You may think, that you'll never stick to being healthy, but if you focus on today, not tomorrow or next week or next month, you can do it.
- Eat between 3 and 5 meals a day. Stick to portions and you will be hungry when your body is ready for the next meal. Remember: Food = Fuel. Too much Fuel = Fat. Not enough Fuel = Empty tank + Fat (because when your tank is empty, your body is tricked into thinking that because you're not putting any more fuel in, it's time to store up as much fuel as possible to save for later, hence creating more fat).
- Don't overdo Carbs! Try eating heavy carbs one night and see how much you'll be starving for more the next morning. Carbs are turned into insulin, and if not burned off will tell your body to store fat.
- Get your air as clean as possible. The military, midwesterners, Indians, and probably several people you know, all have 3 things in common about being naturally healthy. They spend a lot of time outdoors, sleep with the windows open, and eat vegetables at least once a day. While a certain reporting magazine says that air filters are only decent at best with the motor on high, there are now university reports of air purifiers that kill surface bacteria including Staph and MSRA, and eliminate air contaminants as well as airborn particulates. These are machines that are made to be kept on LOW! Ever notice how astronaunts don't get sick like they used to? Remember- Hospital odors are chemicals they use to clean everything. Studies show many people get sicker the longer they stay in one. The EPA has long been quoted saying that over 50% of all illnesses can be attributed to the air you breathe in your home. So- Get a good nights sleep with clean air, it's when your body regenerates.
- Exercise for at least 30 minutes a day. If you do not have a gym or karate membership and can afford one, get one! If you can't afford it, just go for a jog or bike ride. If you have a bad back, a reclined bike may be best.
- Nutrition is key. Anything "fast-food" is probably too fast to contain anything good for your body, anyway. Also avoid other cholesterol-rich foods. Take the time to prepare your meals and include plenty of vitamin rich vegetables in every meal. Not doing this robs your body of essential elements that keep you healthy and sickness-free. You need to eat a lot more fruit and vegetables.
- If you're taking vitamins, know that there are good, and there are great. Don't expect great vitamins in giant cut-rate chain stores. Ask a health food store or Google "best vitamin forum". You'll find people who are bragging or complaining. You'll be amazed at just what some companies have for you. ADHD? Diabetic? Safe Sleep-aid? Short memory? Energy? They're out there.
- When choosing soft drinks or sweets, go with diet or sugar-free options. Sucralose and aspartame, the two most common artificial sweeteners are FDA-approved and while they say they are completely safe there are non-industry funded studies that show different results. There is Stevia but it's hard to find and there's not a lot of studies yet. It's also made of natural ingredients, and all the sweeteners, unlike natural sugars, have almost zero calories so you won't build up any fat. Additionally, this is a great way to prevent dental cavities. Diet soft drinks? Many doctors are now telling us to stay away from ALL sodas, period. Need the pick-me-up? Try vitmins and water, or an apple.
- Lifestyle is a huge factor, too. If you do not have access to at least an hour of sunlight, every day, you can count on having acne, oily skin and hair, poor complexion, depression, etc, etc. There's even a popular doctor advising his clients and readers to get 15 minutes of full nude sunlight at around noon every day.
- Come up with a time table for your plan. It is not only easy for you to control, manage the time, but also to push down the presser on your work. It makes you feel better and no depression in work. You are happy, of course, you will healthier.
- Stop smoking & drinking. If you have to drink, drink for quality, not quantity. If you want to know what it can do to you, just look at older people who have done both for a long time. Try an experiment: Stop smoking and drinking for a day, clean up, and go talk to people who don't smoke, about people who do. Try the opposite sex.
- Have a job or school to go to every day that is placed a couple of kilometers from your home. Buy a road bike (your size) and Bike there every day as fast as you can. That gives you abut 10 minutes of hard training every day.
- When you have run out of things to do - go work in your yard, wash your car, run the dog, chase the kids, or just plain exercise!
Tips
- Counting calories sucks, so instead of doing that, just eat the portion size and when ordering a large portion of something, save the rest of it for another meal. The food will not disappear!
- Some foods, like celery and gum, help you burn calories by chewing.
- Snacking on vegetables fills you up quicker than snacking on sugar substance and tastes better, too.
- Too much sugar is the devil. Too much soda is the devil. Avoid the Devil by drinking water and staying away from sweets. Those are bad for you.
- Jog up and down stairs in your house if there is no park near you live.
- Pack your lunch instead of buying one out.
- Never skip a meal. It can really mess with your metabolism. It will also cause you to overeat later on in the day and that makes you fat.
- Drink lots of water to help keep you hydrated
- Make sure you are getting enough sleep as little as it seems 7 and a half hours of sleep is just right.
- Try to have a good serving of each food group a day.
Warnings
- Look around you: You're surrounded by either horribly unhealthy people or those that treat their bodies as beautiful temples of love. Which are you?
- Don't go overboard, like by starving yourself or throwing up. If this happens, get professional help.
