The holidays have come and gone, with the parties, delectable treats, and all too often, overeating. However, each new year brings new possibilities for change and growth. If your weight management plan needs sprucing up, now is the perfect time to dig in and make healthy resolutions for a healthy you in 2010.
1. Make A Healthy Weight Management Plan And Stick To It.
We all have good intentions every year to maintain a healthy weight and feel great. The key is sticking to the plan you’ve created. Be specific about what you want to accomplish. Instead of “exercise a lot,” write down how much, how of often, and what types of exercise you’ll do.
2. Cleanse and Detoxify.
Be sure first to cleanse and detoxify your gastrointestinal system, so you get the most out of your food and supplements.
3. Get Plenty of Rest.
The best of healthy intentions can be delayed by a lack of sleep. When you’re tired, it is a lot more difficult to get out of bed for that morning workout and eat who grain toast and yogurt instead of a donut. Get the rest your body needs so you can make the best decisions for your health.
4. Eat A Healthy Diet.
Support your health through a diet rich in whole grains, complex carbohydrates and lean proteins. Also make sure that limit the amount of sodas and fruit drinks in your diet. Drink plenty of water instead.
5. Exercise Regularly.
Regular exercise does not have to mean jogging five miles every day. Especially when you are just starting out, a brisk walk around your neighborhood for 20 minutes four times a week is a great way to start. Be sure to incorporate light weight training as well to support the strength of your muscles.
6. Support Your Immune System.
When your immune system is in the best shape possible, the rest of your body can function as it should. Support your healthy immune system with the correct Transferceutical products.
7. Include Antioxidants In Your Diet.
Study after study touts the benefits of antioxidants for overall health. Fruits, vegetables, and even pine bark are great sources of antioxidants.
8. Develop A Great Support Network.
It is always easier to stay on track when you have people supporting you. Talk with your spouse to make sure the cupboards are filled with healthy snacks, instead of junk. Walk everyday with your neighbor. Make sure you have the support you need to be successful with your healthy resolutions.
9. Seek Balance.
Stress, while a natural part of life, can often become overwhelming if not handled properly. Set in place good techniques that will help you find balance in your life. Relax on a regular basis by reading a good book, listening to music, or even meditating.
10. Have Healthy Expectations.
Setting realistic expectations for yourself is just as important-if not more important-than the resolutions themselves. Deciding that you are going to run three miles every day (when you have trouble walking around the block) is neither realistic nor healthy. Starting out slow and steady, while staying committed to your resolutions, is the best way to achieve overall success.
Maintaining a healthy weight takes commitment and hard work. But it’s worth it so you can enjoy life with health and vitality for years to come.
Here is wishing all of my friends a healthy you in 2010.
