Drink Water
Stop drinking soda and sweetened drinks and learn to love drinking water.
Sleep
Sleep between 7-8 hours. Why? Because when your body sleeps under a mild
fasting state, it releases hormones that repair the damage done to your
body during the previous day. These hormones help you maintain proper
weight. This habit will make you healthier and leaner. Decrease your sleep
and you decrease your energy.
Sleeping on your back is the best position to sleep. Laying on your side,
with a pillow between your knees, is the next best position. Avoid sleeping
on your stomach!
Eating
Stop eating at least two hours before bedtime. Why?
It is important to allow your body time to release repair and
weight management hormones.
Stretching
You should stretch regularly but not necessarily a lot. Why? Your body
responds to regular short stretching quite well. It is better to stretch
5 minutes a day, than to stretch one hour, once a week.
Diet and Nutrition
A good diet starts at the checkout line! To eat smart, you have to shop
smart.
1. Shop the outer isle of the grocery store which is full of perishable
foods that have no preservatives such as produce, healthy lean meats,
dairy and whole grain breads. Food in the outer isle tend to be higher
in fiber and good fats and sugars.
2. The longer the shelf life of a product, the worse the food is for
you. This does not include canned vegetables.
3. Avoid refined sugars and flour. Both are the causes of much disease
and obesity in this country.
4. Abstain from artificial sweeteners.
5. Shop with a list to avoid purchasing poor quality foods.
6. Junk food is acceptable once in a while. But it should not be a regular
part of your daily food intake.
A good diet does not mean abstaining from all “treats” or
junk food. It means that you keep these food to a limited portion of your
diet and that they are consumed in moderate portions. The old adage YOU
ARE WHAT YOU EAT - could not be more true. Each year 98% of the “stuff”
that makes you up is replaced. If you EAT POORLY you will HEAL POORLY.
Avoid fad diets. Maintain your proper body weight though regular exercise
and the above dietary guidelines. You will lose weight steady and be able
to maintain it when you make sustainable lifestyle changes. In weight
loss, losing it slower is better than fast. Slow and steady wins the race.
Life is a balance tripod. When you live in balance you have true health.
When one of the three elements (Mind, Body or Spirit) is neglected, all
three will be effected.
Mind + Body + Spirit = YOU.
Live in moderation and live in balance
