Introduction

Are you making a good lifestyle change by cooking healthier meals?  If so then good for you!  You are on your way to becoming healthy and fit.  It is a process though if you are used to eating a junk food diet.  Junk food diets put our health at risk for weight gain and all sort of health issues as a result of the weight gain.  But luckily this is all easily reversed by changing our eating habits to be healthier.  Below are some suggestions in making this healthy lifestyle change for the better.

Lifestyle Change and Preparation

When you decide to make a change in your lifestyle to a healthier one the diet is a great place to start.  Make it easy and prepare for it ahead of time so you will not want to succumb to the temptations of fast convenient junk foods.  Start by planning your menu and making a grocery list.  After you have all the ingredients for your menu wash up the vegetables and fruit.  Chop what you can of the vegetables and store in containers in the refrigerator.  Trim any meats you have and have them ready for cooking.

Whatever the reason for the diet change consider it a permanent change.  Eating healthy is beneficial for you and by sticking with it you are giving your body all the nutrients you need to keep your immune system strong and increase your metabolism. 

Adding Exercise

Physical activity is one of the best things you can add to a healthy lifestyle change.  If you are sedentary, you will need to take the exercising slowly at first.  Physical activity should be done at least three times a week or every other day with at least thirty minutes of exercise.  This gives your body time to build up muscles, strengthen cardiovascular function, and exercising will make you feel more energized.  Even though you may feel it is a chore at first once you start to exercise you may find you enjoy it and look forward to it.  You can increase the time to daily and to up to an hour if you wish, but do this gradually to allow your body time to become accustomed to the physical activity.

If you do an exercise routine for at least a half an hour at a time, your body may release endorphins.  This substance gives you a boost of energy as well as a boost to your mood.  It is a natural high, commonly referred to as the runner's high.  It helps to strengthen the immune system, boost your metabolism so you will have more energy, and feel better overall.

Here are some good exercise routines:

Do a leisurely walk for thirty minutes.  Start out from your home and walk for fifteen minutes then turn around and come back walking the same path and pace. 

Intensify the walk and walk at a faster pace than just leisurely.  Start slow, then pick up speed, then slow down a few minutes before your half hour is up.

Make the walk into a walk - jog - run - jog - walk.
