How to be Healthy Tips

Making Better Food Choices

It is no secret that your food choices influence your health.

You decide to be healthy or not. It is just that simple. Choose to be healthy and you will be, one-step at a time. You must make the choice to replace your present food choices with better healthy food choices. Additionally, a healthy diet includes organic foods.

Instead of eating white potatoes, replace them with sweet potatoes. Rather than eating white pasta, eat whole wheat. Dump the white rice for the brown rice. Don't grab for the doughnut on the go, reach for the bran muffin. What deters people from eating healthy is that they feel overwhelmed. The best way to defeat this feeling is not beat yourself up if you do choose the doughnut. Recognize ways that you can be more prepared next time. Change comes easier when you are easier on yourself.

Get Moving

We all know that we should exercise but what you may not know is that the small things add up. Say that you will move more rather than you will exercise. The word exercise can turn most people off but if you say, "I will pledge to move more in my day" you give yourself more freedom. For instance, if you work on the fifth floor, take a flight of stairs and then the elevator the rest of the way. Work for 45 minutes and then stand and stretch. Walk around the block for lunch instead of sitting in the lunchroom.
