You are what you eat, so if you eat
healthy, you are healthy. If you're just starting to have a healthy lifestyle,
you probably don't know healthy food.Food that is low in fat content is good. Unless that
fat is poly-unsaturated, mono-unsaturated, or omega 3. These are some of
the good fats. Some of the bad fats are trans and saturated fats. These
fats raise your LDL cholesterol, which is the bad cholesterol. The good
fats lower your LDL cholesterol and raise your HDL cholesterol, which is
the good cholesterol.
- Low sugar content is another plus.. Sucrose is the bad kind of sugar. Glucose is the good kind of sugar. Both are sugar, so both are classified as sugar, on the label. For example, raisins that don't have sugar added still have a lot of sugar, but it's a naturally occurring sugar, fructose. Any ingredient on a food label ended with "ose" is a type of sugar.
- Eat a variety of food. Fruits and vegetables are high in vitamins and minerals, which you need, but you still need some other vitamins and minerals. For example, not much protein comes from fruits or vegetables. Meat, beans, and tofu are good sources of protein. If you can't get your vitamins and minerals from the food you eat, you can always take a multivitamin.

2 Exercise is key for a
healthy lifestyle as well.
Go to the gym every once in a while, or daily.
Or take a run around your neighborhood. Even taking your dog for a walk is good.
So long as it's routine, about an hour, and is at least moderately active.
Frequent and routine exercise everyday helps boost the immune system; helps
prevent the “disease of affluence” such as: heart disease, cardiovascular
disease, diabetes, and obesity. It also improves mental health, and prevent
depression.

3 Dedication.
It's not easy to go from a couch potato to a
healthy person. Don't be discouraged if you have to satisfy your cravings for
ice cream, hamburgers, etc. As long as you don't have a steady diet of
unhealthy food, it won't hurt you too much.

4 Don't yo-yo diet!
Yo-yo dieting is bad for you and
even if they sound healthy, once you stop that diet you can pile on the weight
in just a couple of days! Stay away from Slimfast, soup diets and diets which
you have to eat or drink contents from a packet.
·
5 Don't abuse your body.
Don't work out too much because it
can cause your body to not function properly when you work out. It is best to
leave a day or two off to get back your energy.
·
6 Regulate your weight.
Being too fat or skinny isn't good
for you. Your doctor can tell you if you are under or over weight. Exercise and
the food you eat can change your weight, so keep that in mind.
·
7 Stay Clean.
Everyone should have 1 shower per day.
Have another if you have had a particularly hot or sweaty time. Put on an
antiperspirant after your shower. Change your underwear and socks every day,
too.
·
8 Enjoy Yourself for healthy lifestyle.
Don't stress yourself over anything.
Have fun! Stress can tense your muscles, which will make you feel unhappy and
unwell. If you worry too much about your health, you'll be making it worse, so
just relax once in a while.
