Advice for Healthy Living in 2006
With the New Year now upon us, it's important to give pause and
consider making some positive changes regarding the state of
your health. As they say, there's no time like the present.
People the world over often make resolutions to do something to
better themselves in the coming year. In 2006, consider doing
something that will benefit your overall health. The following
suggestions may just help to ensure that you're able to make New
Year's resolutions for many years to come.
Get a Check-up - An excellent place to start when
considering lifestyle changes is with an honest assessment of
your health. At this stage, it wouldn't hurt to consult with
your physician. Why not make an appointment for your annual
physical exam? This way, you can begin the year with an accurate
assessment of your physical state. Your doctor will be able to
focus your attention on areas that are of immediate health
concern. This is especially important if you're a smoker, if
you're overweight, or if you have any significant health issues
that might prevent you from performing simple daily tasks.
Drink More Water - Make another profound difference to
your health by consuming more water. Many people make the
mistake of assuming that they've received enough water from the
various pop, coffee and other beverages they've consumed in a
day. This is not entirely accurate. Ideally, one should consume
upwards of eight, 8-ounce glasses of water per day. Water helps
the body metabolize stored fats. It can also help your body
cleanse itself of free radicals, which have been linked to
cancer and other such ailments.
Get Moving - Exercise is yet another effective way to
maintain optimal health. That's not to say that one has to
become entirely committed to working out each and
every day, but
it's in every individual's best interest to perform some form of
activity 3 times per week. Physical exercise can be performed in
a wide variety of ways to keep it fun and interesting. For
instance, the simple act of walking is a highly effective form
of exercise. It's one that can be completed without supervision,
without props, and without any previous experience working out.
Joining a gym has a number of direct benefits as well. Not only
will you have access to some excellent equipment, but you will
also benefit greatly from the fitness knowledge that most
personal trainers possess.
Pay Attention to Nutrition - Diet also plays a
significant role is one's overall health. Everyone should be
familiar with the dietary guidelines established by the leading
health agencies and authorities. The "food pyramid" is by far
the most popular set of published nutritional guidelines. The
food pyramid advises people to include all of the major food
groups - grains, vegetables, fruits, dairy and meat (or protein)
- in their diets. Keep in mind that the food pyramid is merely a
nutritional guideline. The dietary needs of each individual will
vary drastically, and what's ideal for one person isn't
necessarily ideal for the next.
By following these few simple suggestions, you can take control
of your health and your life in 2006. Good luck!
