Health & Healthy Eating - How to Live the Healthy Life
Good health and physical fitness are key when we speak about living the healthy life.
There are the sayings such as "living for the moment" or "living life to the fullest", but these are empty words if we are not active in living the healthy life and seeking out ways to be in good health always.
There are proactive things which we can do such as diet and exercise, and there are preventive things which we can do such as getting enough sleep, avoiding smoking and fatty or fast foods (for the most part).
We say "for the most part" because we need to consider each person's unique level of fitness especially metabolic rate when speak about eating healthy.
Fortunate are those who can eat burgers, fries, shakes and never show an ounce on their hips, waist or other body parts.
But the majority of need to avoid such foods as much as possible, and instead opt for healthier foods to consume.
Yet in addition to what we eat, we must also take into consideration physical fitness.
Are we actively exercising on a regular basis? At a minimum, we should be walking as much as possible.
This also can shed pounds and increase one's metabolism, and a high metabolism is key for maintaining a healthy weight and keeping the pounds off.
For those of us in better shape or simply more determined to live the healthy life as much as possible, we could jump up to the next level and consider running, which burns 30% more calories than simply walking.
But the big picture is that we each only have 1 life to live, reincarnation theorists be damned.
So let's make the most of it.
