Changing lifestyles for better health
As a way of living, lifestyle is everyday behaviours, activities, and diet. It involves
your work, leisure activities, food and drink consumption, and interaction with
people. That is why it is important to have a healthy lifestyle. Although it is often
difficult to change your habits, reorganising your daily activities to achieve a
healthy lifestyle is not impossible. Here are some steps you need to take to have a
better life and health.
Become more active
Scientists have proved that regular exercise can help to reduce cholesterol and the
risk of heart disease. Remember that you do not need to do too much exercise - just
a 30-minute walk a day will bring health benefits. But it is important that you do it
regularly and safely. Simple things like walking or cycling to school, using the
stairs instead of the lift, doing the housework and gardening can all contribute to
good health.
Moreover, hobbies such as dancing, reading, listening to music, playing chess, and
solving crossword or sudoku puzzles are also good ways to keep your body and
mind engaged, and increase life expectancy. No matter where you are - at home, at
work, or at play - always look for opportunities to be more active and energetic.
Eat healthily
‘Eat to live, not live to eat’ is the advice to follow.The food and drink we consume
can dramatically affect our health. Bad nutrition based on fast food, and meals high
in fat and sugar can lead to obesity, diabetes, some types of cancer and other
chronic diseases. Planning and following a healthy and balanced diet is not
difficult at all. Eat the right amount of calories to balance the energy you get from
food and the energy you use. Make sure you have a wide range of foods to receive
all the nutrients you need. Remember to eat less saturated fat, sugar and salt, and
more fish, fruit, and vegetables.
Stay positive and be happy
Once you have started to be more active and eat more healthily, you can notice that
you also feel happier. There is no doubt that daily worrying and stress can damage
your heart and brain. When you are under a lot of stress, you may get angry easily.
Anger and hostility have negative effects on the cardiovascular system. Recent
research has confirmed that angry, hostile people live a shorter life. Try to control
your anger, always look at the positive side of every situation and be optimistic. If
necessary, practise sor-e meditation and yoga to help you to relieve your stress and
anger, and enjoy life more.
24. It is not possible to change your daily habits and activities.
25. In order to reduce cholesterol, you need to exercise a lot and work out more
than 30 minutes every day.
26. Physical activity should be done not just regularly, but safely.
27. Although fast food may lead to obesity, it has some definite advantages.
28. You should consume less fat and more sugar to balance the energy you use with
the energy that goes into your body.
29. Stress and anger can affect people's life expectancy negatively.
