6 Healthy Eating and Exercise Tips
Posted by admin in Healthy Eating on June 18, 2011
Combine your healthy eating program with simple exercise for the greatest effect on your longterm health. Try these 6 tips.
1. Fitness is the ultimate key to longer life. In fact it’s better to be fat and fit, than skinny and sedentary – but by far the best is to be slender AND well-toned. How to achieve it? Make sure your diet contains more fresh fruit and veg, wholegrain and low fat foods, and less processed and junk foods, and include simple exercise in your daily routine.
2. Take just half an hour a day for fitness. If you sleep for eight hours, that still leaves 16 in a day…and yes, you can find just half of one of those to dedicate to a fitter you. Go for variety – one day a brisk walk, the next a cycle ride, then a badminton session, an aerobic class, or some weight-training at home.
3. Keep at it!. It takes time for a new fitness and healthy eating regime to show results, so don’t give up. Do a little exercise every single day, and substitute two unhealthy foods with healthier alternatives.

Get a good, healthy snack ready before you start exercising, so there’s no danger of heading for the cookie jar. Try a banana and a glass of skimmed milk, a bowl of hearty soup that just needs warming, a wholegrain roll with hummus, a pot of low fat yogurt with chopped fruit stirred in.
