Eating Healthy Is An Important Key To Weight Loss

Ok so you knew that already, odds are you don't follow what you know is best for your health. We get sidetracked by the great taste of foods that we love but we know are bad for us. What I have done is still treat myself to these foods I just do it in moderation. I am sure this is the same think that they had Anna Nichole Smith do. As she doesn't look like someone that could give up all her sweets at once.

You have to watch what you eat, I now eat 4-6 servings of vegetables and fruits. I limit my fatty foods and avoid late night snacks. My habit was eating ice cream before going to bed. Not a good idea but I learned that lesson too late.

Drinking plenty of water during the day is now a must. I usually carry a water bottle with me most of the day especially when its hot. The more water you drink the more it flushes out your system.

Try to get plenty of sleep. Some people only need a few hours but only your body can tell you how much you really need. I find that I only need 7 hours a night. You can tell how much sleep you need by doing this little test. Go to bed at the same time every night for a few days. When you wake up write down how many hours you slept. Average it out and that will tell you how many hours you need.

You should exercise daily but not to the same parts of your body. Your body should take a day to heal itself. So one day work your legs and the next your abs or whatever schedule you will like to keep. Maybe just taking up an aerobics class or join in a pick up game of basketball. Like I said anything that you would like to do as long as you are doing something and not sitting on the couch.

My problem is I sit and watch Nascar every Sunday. I have learned to get up and stretch during Pit stops and commercials. The important thing is to keep your body moving. It is easy to become lazy and fall into a sedentary lifestyle.

You want to limit the use of alcohol. Some experts say to have a glass of wine a day but I don't think that does anything. Those experts probably own a wine vineyard somewhere. All you will get is liver damage or brain damage. There are many things that alcohol can damage to your body so avoid it, it's not worth it in the long run.
