Healthy Habits Equals A Healthy Life

One of the most important changes you will need to make when you are focusing on losing weight is developing healthy habits to guide you through each day. Since weight gain is generally the result of unhealthy eating in conjunction with a lack of exercise, it's important to find out what is currently happening on a regular basis so you know what to focus on.

Once you find out what you need to devote some attention to, you will be better able to tackle the entire process and make some actual progress. Here are some questions to help you identify potential problem areas that may need to be addressed in order to start forming some healthy habits to guide you through each day.

1) What do you generally eat for breakfast, lunch, and dinner?
2) What do you usually drink on any given day?
3) Do you snack in the car, while watching tv, using the computer, or reading a book?
4) How many glass of water do you drink per day?
5) Eat food late at night?
6) Do you eat at restaurants or fast food places often?
7) What types of snacks and drinks do you have in your kitchen?
8) How often do you exercise each week?
9) What types of beverages do you usually drink?

As you answer these questions, you may notice certain habits that may be considered unhealthy. These are the specific areas you will need to focus on and improve.

For instance, maybe you realize that you drink three sodas a day, snack on Doritos while watching tv, eat crackers from a box in the car while driving to work, and regularly eat a giant bowl of ice cream at night before going to sleep. These would be the habits you should to change when losing weight is truly one of your top priorities. These are the types of habits you need to break in order to develop new, healthy habits to take their place.

Even though one soda does not seem as if it would matter much in regards to your weight, think of the bigger picture. Replacing just one soda per day with water will rid your body of 15 pounds per year! That's why it is SO IMPORTANT you develop healthy habits in regards to eating, snacking, and exercise because once you do, and stick with it regularly, the weight will come off.

Healthy Habits To Keep Your Premiums Low

What are the best conditions for a person seeking a good insurance plan for his life? Life insurance works to offer financial security to a person and his or her dependents in the event of death. This works by the insured party paying regular premiums until the term of payment ends or death meets the insured. In this case, the stipulated amount is paid to the beneficiaries of the policy. This is the basic flow to the matter of insurance, whether for persons or even for cars. It is possible to find whole life insurance quotes online and make a good decision.

For many insurance companies, before issuing a premium, one major aspect they lookat is health. The healthier you are, the lower the risk of meeting death and thus the lower the premiums you get to pay. To capitalize on this, here are a few tips:

    Drink water

They say water is tasteless and colorless, but it is definitely not useless. In fact, water is one of the greatest resources in the world. Likewise, it is quite beneficial to the health of a person. You can live forty days without food but you cannot survive a week (seven days) without water. Water is a sure way of keeping yourself healthy and goes a long way to making sure you remain that way for the rest of your life. No longer, medical practitioners insist on 8 glasses of water a day.

    Be happy

Many people take this for granted. Many are the inspirational messages that emphasize on being happy and smiling throughout. It is not only physiological but also medical. It would be best to avoid stressful activities and situations at all cost and find happiness. Never has there been anyone going to a doctor following a complication after being happy. However, sadness and stress has serious implications on your health (for example heart disease and high blood pressure), not only now, but also in future. You would rather have a contagious laugh than in-built ulcers

    Work out

It may be a tiresome affair but the benefits are worthwhile. Working out is like updating the antivirus of a computer. It is good enough that you have an antivirus, but you are sure that in continual use, you are safe from any harm. Likewise, working out keeps your body in check as you continue to deal with the various day-to-day activities. It also works well to prevent diseases e.g. diabetes and obesity.

Healthy Habits

Over the past few weeks I have been thinking about habits! Habits when it comes to my health and if there is anything I can share with you here today. You know things like healthy habits, eating habits, simply good habits! Or maybe even sleeping habits because sleep is the lost pillar when we think about the 6 pillars of wellness. Most today don't even consider sleep as being important or vital for wellbeing. Yet I digress.

When I first began the journey to wellness the very first thing I started as one of my daily habits was taking vitamins. I actually joined a network marketing company that made a supplement line of products and I took them everyday without fail. At that time I was not even sure if these products were going to make a differance for my health. Guess what? They did! Actually taking those supplements starting in 1993 are the reason I still take many vitamins from that same company today! And that started a snowball of habits that continue today. Taking supplements is still a healthy habit today because it was something I could do then and still is something I can do consistently without much effort, seeing healthy results. And that is really what we want to see from our habits isn't it?

The second thing I did on a daily basis was begin to drink water. For years I had been drinking coffee, soda pop with no water in my day and to change to include water in my day with less coffee and no pop was really remarkable. Again I began the water habit not really sure how I was going to feel and I actually began to feel more energized, thinking more clearly.

Good Habits

As I began making these changes and developing my habits the one thing I did do was never say never. I was simply adding to my day. Adding vitamins, adding water. As these became a part of my day without thinking then the idea to remove the things like soda were put into action. It really did become easy as I did not feel any pressure or failure.

I guess without realizing what I was doing I was taking action in small bites until it was simply a part of myday.

And over a long period of time I have simply added to my daily habits bit by bit. You know experimenting with foods, exercise ideas, meditations, sleep times, vitamins. There are many habits I include daily today and will share more over the next few weeks.

Most importantly it is never to late to change your habits and start new ones that will move you forward in how you feel.

I have written before about adding water into your daily habits. In my experience with working with clients the one thing most never do in the beginning is drink water.

Are you drinking water? How much? Is this something you will work on until you are drinking 1/2 your bodyweight in ounces per day? It is as simple as adding a glass of water before each meal and snack. Depending how you schedule those you may eat a few times a day so your water intake could be 3-4 without even trying hard! Do this until it is a part of your daily habits and check back here as there will be more ideas on creating habits easily and effortless over the next few weeks.
