Now that Thanksgiving is finally over, you may be feeling the impact of heavy holiday foods. With less than a month to the next holiday celebration, now is the perfect time to work off your Thanksgiving calories and regain control of your health. The following tips will help you to reduce the chances that you will need to file a claim on your long term health care insurance.
The first thing that you need to do is to check your health vital statistics. Start with your weight and blood pressure. Write these numbers down and check them against health charts. If you notice that these numbers have gone up since you last check them then it is time to make adjustments to both your diet and your exercise regimes.
Exercise is easy to work into your schedule. If you feel like you don’t have the time to workout an hour a day five days a week then break down your hour into smaller increments. Your body won’t know the difference between ten 6 minute workouts or one 60 minute workout. This means that you can walk stairs, lift weights or do basic calisthenics for a few minutes at various times of the day to burn extra calories.
Altering your diet during the holiday season is harder to do then at other times of the year, but it is not impossible. To start with infuse your diet with higher quality ingredients. Look for foods that are high in lean protein and fiber and low in fat and salt. Also adjust the way you distribute your calories through out the day. Instead of skipping breakfast and having a large lunch, dinner and evening snack, eat a low fat high fiber breakfast like oatmeal.
and high blood pressure, It’s estimated that high blood pressure affects 90 percent of Americans at one time or another. Some of the main causes of this condition include lifestyle factors that we have control over (eating a high-grain, high-sugar diet, not exercising) and some that we don’t cleanse our body regularly.
I recently read on CNN health about a similar condition which could arise as one of the side affects of obesity. What are your thoughts? In fact, ever think about writing an article about obesity in america? I’d love to read it!
Eat protein like eggs, fish, yogurt and beans. Take vitamins and minerals. Brush, wash and massage your head regularly, blood flowing to your head helps. Get lots of rest and exercise.
