Just as the popular saying that, ‘you are what
you eat’ this means whatever you eat will tell how you will leave your life,
either in good health or in the other way round. To save the discussion here
are ultimate diet tips you ought not have missed in your life-time.
1.
Dry wine is better than
sweet wine. Sweet wines naturally
contain a lot of sugar. But
on the other hand, in dry wines
most of this sugar has been
fermented away so from the
weight point of view dry
wines are better than sweet
wines.
2.
When you decide it’s time to
start working out, start
slowly and don’t get
discouraged if you don’t achieve your
fitness goals after the
first week. Many people make this
mistake. They feel that if
they really push their bodies
they can lose more weight in
a couple of work outs. This
is a very serious thing in
fact.
If you try to push your body
too much in the first few
goes, you are likely to end
up with sprained joints, a sore
back and even torn ligaments.
The rule to be followed
here is slow and steady wins
the race.
3.
Check your weight before you
start the routine and keep
checking for changes but do
not expect a radical change
immediately, it might be one
or two weeks before you
notice some change. However
it is crucial that you
continue to monitor your
weight. You may bear in mind
the fact that even a few
pounds loss is a big achievement.
4.
When you do notice a change,
reward yourself. When I
say reward I do not mean go
for some goodies like
chocolates or sweets. Maybe
you could go for a movie or
buy yourself something like
a new dress or a trinket.
This is something that can
keep you going. It is a good
idea to save on the money
that you wanted to spend on
ice creams and chocolates
and then treat your self to
something more substantial.
5.
You can take a day off from
exercise every week. This is
not just a very good idea
but it is part of the exercise
routine. Your body needs a
day off from an exercise
routine so do not hesitate
to take a day off from what
ever you have been doing.
6.
Exercise out doors as far as
possible. There are two
advantages of doing whatever
you are doing out side.
One advantage is that it
gives your body a chance to get
a lot of the much needed
fresh air and sunshine.
The second advantage is that
the surroundings keep you
perked up and it is a break
form remaining cooped up all
day long
7.
Try to collect some
information about exercise, there are
a lot of things that you can
do at home. Extensive
research has been done on
exercise and plenty of this
information is easily
available.
You can try browsing the net
or getting a book or two on
how to exercise at home.
This information will be useful
to you to know how much you
need to work out on each
specific exercise in order
to burn off the desired number
of calories.
8.
Try to get somebody to
exercise along with you. But it
should be somebody committed
or else your interest
might dwindle. This is
indeed an excellent idea. One of
the advantages of getting a
committed person t exercise
with you is that it keeps
you going.
There may be days when you
feel just too lazy to crawl
out of bed in the mornings.
On such days, the knowledge
that some body is waiting
for you is enough to slide out of
bed.
Another advantage is that
you can discuss your progress
and fears with another
person and be a sympathetic
listener to the other person
as well. This is a fine way of
getting motivated your self.
59.
Stop when your body has had
enough. There is no sense
in pushing it. When you have
worked out for a
considerable time, your body
will start giving you signals.
Heed those signals. This is
particularly true in the initial
stages. Take one step at a
time. Stop when you are out of
breath or when a certain
part of your body tells you that
it has had enough.
10.
If you want to increase your
time of exercise or your work
out routine, do it gradually
and not in sudden steps.
Well easier said than done.
Most of us have such hectic
schedules that it is quite
impossible to fit in tie for
exercise right? Wrong. I
want to say it once and for all,
your body, or anybody’s body
for that matter needs
proper exercise. If you make
up your mind to do it, you
just can.
11.
Select an exercise pattern
to suit your life style. All f us
have different life styles
and professions so there is no
sense in trying to follow
the book strictly. Try and follow
an exercise routine that is
suitable for you. You have to
understand that even more
important than the exercise
itself is sticking to it. So
unless you choose something
that can suit your life
style, you are not going to stick on
to it.
12.
Don’t stand, walk. If you
can walk about then do so. Do
not stand in a fixed
position. Pacing about is a good thing
to do. If you are thinking
deeply about something, try
pacing about, it will aid in
your thinking.
13.
Don’t sit, stand. If you can
stand, then do not sit. The
golden rule is to choose a
position that is less
comfortable.
14.
Don’t lie down, sit. The
rule that we mentioned above
rings true here as well.
15.
Use the stairs instead of
the elevator whenever you can.
Elevators are one hell of a
convenience particularly if you
have to go up or down some
twenty floors. But elevators
also make us very lazy.
There may be no sense in
trudging up some twenty
flights of stairs because by
the time you get there you will
be totally pooped. But while
coming down, if you have the
time, you can easily come
down the stairs instead of
using the elevator. Coming
down is not at all exhausting.
And talking about the time
factor, I don’t think that there
is much of a difference.
Sometimes waiting for an
elevator door to open at
your floor after you hit the
button can take up all of eternity.
