The benefits of living a healthy lifestyle are tremendous. Evidence shows that some of the leading causes of death in the United States, such as heart disease, cancer, stroke, and some lung diseases often can be prevented by improving personal health habits.
Eating right, staying physically active, and not smoking are a few examples of good habits that can help you stay healthy.
Exercise and physical activity can help prevent at least six diseases: heart disease, high blood pressure, obesity (excess weight), diabetes, osteoporosis, and mental disorders, such as depression. Regular exercise also will help you feel better and stay at a healthy weight.
Research suggests that brisk walking can be just as good for you as an activity such as jogging. Try to do a total of 30 minutes of constant physical activity, such as fast walking, most days of the week. Make time for physical activity, start slowly, and keep at it. If the weather is bad, try an exercise show on TV, watch an exercise tape in your home, walk in the mall, or work around the house.
Choose an activity you like, such as dancing or swimming. Or try something entirely new - take up a new sport. Find a friend to enjoy your daily exercise time with. Find an exercise tape at the library or the video store. Millions enjoy the benefits of yoga along with their daily walk or jog.
If weight loss is one of your goals for this year - the quickest way to lose weight is with daily exercise and eating healthy foods.
