With all the crash diets, detoxes and general misinformation about how to live a healthy life out there, how does one actually know what to believe? It seems like one day it's low carb and then the next people are drinking lemon juice to detox.
But, I'm going to let you in on a little secret. Forget about those fad diets and forget about what you co-workers tell you about health and follow these important steps to turn your life around live healthy and happy!
Fruits & Veggies - Most Americans don't get their daily recommended amounts of fruits and veggies according to the new MyPyramid guidelines. In fact, reports show that people don't even get half of that! But, these diet staples are extremely important to living a healthy life so try adding more to your daily diet. You can do that by adding veggies to casseroles, stews and soups and stock up on frozen vegetables so you can quickly prepare them anytime.
Whole Foods - Stay away from processed foods such as crackers, chips, cookies, etc by making the bulk of your diet consist of whole, natural foods. They will not only pass on more nutrients but the will fill you up and keep you feeling full for longer.
It's all about calories - Calories are what matters when you are looking to either lose or even maintain your weight. If you are looking to drop a few pounds then eliminate a small amount of calories from your diet through a proper low calorie diet plan and/or follow an exercise plan. Which leads us to...
Exercise - Combining a healthy diet with physical activity is the best way to live a healthy life and control weight. Aim to exercise for at least 30 minutes a day and if exercising just isn't your thing try to sneak it in by taking the dog or the kids for a walk, for example.
