Getting Healthy 101

Self-improvement is a thing which you must practice throughout your life because once you start to believe that you are perfect, then things will start to become complex. You need to know that no one is perfect and no one can be perfect.


There is always room for some improvements whether it is in your personality, in your health, in your fitness or in any other thing but you should keep trying for a better state. There are hundreds of therapies which help you to get rid of all kinds of mental stress and once you are relieved mentally then, you can always feel better in every part of your life.


If you are living your life without any clue about your work routine and its effects on your health and fitness then, this chapter is definitely for you.

  • Lack of physical activity

  • Control your weight with little extra movement

  • Check your eating habits


In modern times, life is very tough and competitive. You have to work hard, in order to stay in this society and in this hectic work routine, you often forget to take care of yourself. I have seen people who work for more than 12-15 hours a day and still they feel unsatisfied with their work. In this kind of lifestyle, there are so many glitches which you can fix to optimize your routine.


These glitches are also not very hard to find and with very little attention, you can get them and repair them easily. You must have heard this too often that you should live a healthy lifestyle but have you ever thought about what a healthy lifestyle actually is. Is it just about not smoking, doing exercise and keeping your weight under control? This formula sounds simple but believe it or not, it takes some time and hard work to be implemented in real life.


If you do not exercise, and your eating habits are also unstable then, it will take very small steps to bring you on track. You just need to make some very slight adjustments in your daily lifestyle and these adjustments will make your life healthier and fit.


Lack of Physical Activity

Biggest drawback of modern office life is lack of physical activity. You have to sit in your chair throughout the day and after a tiring day in the office, you go home and after having your dinner you cannot even walk and go to sleep. This is a very dull and unhealthy routine but you can make it a little more energetic for you and that will also not get too much attention or time from you. You can just get up 20-30 minutes earlier than you do now and go out for a short walk.


Even if you think that is not possible for you then, you can just take the bus to your office instead of your car. This will add some walk in your routine. This much movement and activity can be so advantageous for you that it can save you from lots of heart diseases as well it will improve your respiration and will make you feel your weight. Your joint stability will improve and you will be flexible enough according to your age. It will also help you in reducing anxiety and depression and will improve your mood and you will be able to work with more concentration. Smaller movement schemes like gardening on weekends, daily walk and similar other activities can also help you to control your weight.


Control Your Weight with Little Extra Movement

There are some very simple and basic things which you can do to make your life more active and to increase your physical activities. It is not necessary that you pay heavy gym fees to exercise and to do proper weight loss instead if your weight is not alarmingly high and you just want to control it then, you can do it by adding some simple thing like you can go out for a walk daily with your family instead of just sitting on the couch and watching TV. No matter that walk is to your local grocery store but it will be a lot more active task than just sitting on the couch. Walking is a very important aspect which can help you to reduce and control your weight. There are so many ways which can add some walk in your life. For example, instead of going to the mall in your car, taking a walk, taking your dog for some extra outing in a nearby park and similar other things can be very healthy for you.


Some people and especially men have this habit of not doing any home chores. This is also an unhealthy lifestyle because house chores like gardening, some light cooking and other similar things which you can do in your weekends are very healthy activities and these activities will increase the physical workout.


These chores will also give you a chance to facilitate your partner and she will feel very happy as you are helping her in her work. Best way to add physical activities in your daily routine is to make a list of everything which you do in one day and analyze that list. If you find yourself sitting around too much then, try and look for some alternate time where you can add some physical activity.
