How to Start Living a Healthier Life
By: Trainers on Site
Do Your Research!There is so much information online regarding
what to eat and how to work out. Be wary of which articles to trust! A lot of the information you will find on the internet is there to persuade you to buy their products.
Get your information from many different sources
Find professionals who have been in the industry a long time
Use a personal trainer for a reference for what exercises are best for you
Read Food LabelsWhat is advertised as healthy is not usually the
case
If a label says fat-free or sugar-free, it will not necessarily aid in your weight-loss. In fact, it can do the opposite
When a product takes away sugar, calories, fat, etc; they have to replace it with something else. The replacement is usually less healthy.
Avoid foods that have ingredients that you cannot pronounce or haven’t heard of.
Change your LifestyleIf you want to make changes in yourself, you need
to make changes in what you do with yourself.
Start by doing some sort of physical activity every day. Making changes takes consistent effort.
Start to eat to fuel your body and not for satisfaction. When you eat fatty, sugary, and salty foods; your brain releases dopamine telling you to go back to those foods.
It takes 21 days to break a habit. Be consistent and work hard for 21 days for your best odds of being successful.
There are no Quick Fixes!Unfortunately there is no miracle pill.
Supplements can be great aids in weight loss, muscle gain, or health maintenance; but they are not necessary to live a healthy life
Eating a healthy diet and exercising is more likely to help you with these changes than any pill.
If you want to make changes in your body, you will have to make changes in your lifestyle.
Have a Support SystemSurround yourself with people who
have the same values as yourself
Studies show that the 5 people you spend the most time with will influence you the most
If you take the average income, activity level, and fitness of those 5 people, you will usually be the average of those people
Having someone to train with will help you stay motivated and increases your odds of success
Don’t Give Up! Once you start your program, you may
not see much of a change on the scale. Don’t let this defeat you! This is often times caused by the body changing it’s composition. You may be lowering your body fat % and increasing lean muscle. Have a health assessment done to find these numbers.
Reaching your goals will not happen overnight. You need to keep committed and remember that if you aren’t seeing progress to continue to change your routine. Just don’t give up!
Learn from Others If you don’t know how to
work out effectively, ask someone who does
Ask people you already know such as friends or family
Ask professionals such as personal trainers and nutritionists
Do your research by reading exercise facts online from reliable resources
Get More SleepYour body primarily makes
changes when you are asleep. If your sleep is bad, your body is not changing as fast.
If you are up late, try getting to sleep earlier so you can wake up when the sun is rising.
Cut down on caffeine for better sleep
Turn off the electronics for an hour or two before you go to sleep. If you keep your brain working hard until you go to sleep, you can’t expect to fall asleep quickly.
Soak up the SunMost people are deficient in Vitamin D.
Getting more sunlight is the best way to naturally increase your vitamin D.
Getting outdoors will help you be more active which will also help you with your fitness goals.
