Fitness

 Living a healthy lifestyle can inspire creativity and teach you discipline, adaptability, and balance.This will not only leave you looking and feeling better, but you will show up as a better version of yourself for the people in your life that truly matter.

IT’S MORE THAN AESTHETICS

Health and fitness are about more than the way
you look, the food you eat, or the weight you lift at the gym. They’re about:

  • the way you feel.
  • your quality of life.
  • the focus you have at work.
  • your ability to move.
  • your psychological state.

When you’re truly healthy, you are in a better mood and can physically do more. You can do things like walking your dog, going hiking, or paddleboarding. Not being able to do these things can drastically impact your experiences and limit your quality of life.

SETTING AN EXAMPLE

When you choose to live a healthy lifestyle, you
not only do yourself a favor, but you set an excellent example for all of those
around you. Your friends, family, and children are impacted by the healthy
choices you make and will often feel inspired to make a change in their own
lives. 

The result of this is better relationships, lower
risk of disease, and an overall healthier and happier world. By simply making
healthier choices, you can have a rippling impact on all of those around you.
Be the person to start the change.

YOU LEARN EXACT BEHAVIOR CHANGE

I find that “diets” or “workout challenges” only
last so long. It is unrealistic to be going at 100 MPH all the time. We are all
human. Life happens, stress comes and goes, and schedules can get thrown off.
When we choose to live a healthy lifestyle, we learn to accept these things and
ADAPT.

You learn to enjoy life when you are on vacation
and away from your gym and kitchen because you have developed the habits and
skills to live a healthy lifestyle no matter where you are. By always
practicing moderation and balance, you allow yourself to indulge without going
overboard. If you don't have access to a gym one week, you get in the habit of
traveling with your resistant bands, creating a bodyweight circuit, or using
nearby benches and stairs to get a workout in. You learn to adapt instead of
self-destructing when your routine gets thrown off.

Dash diet

  The Dietary Approaches to Stop  Hypertension , or DASH, diet has been consistently ranked by  U.S. News & World Report   as a top diet overall, and that comes as no surprise.  Unlike fad diets that call for extreme calorie or food-group restrictions without scientific evidence that supports their efficacy, the DASH diet involves manageable dietary changes that are flexible and rooted in proven nutritional advice. This has made the eating plan popular among doctors, dietitians, and other health professionals in the United States, where heart disease remains the No. 1 killer among men and women.   High blood pressure (hypertension)  is a big contributing factor to heart disease and affects an estimated 50 percent of American adults. One in three of those people don’t know they have hypertension.  Heart disease is also the leading cause of death around the world.  The good news is that lifestyle changes, including the s...

Cancer risks

  Cancer is a broad term used to describe many different diseases. In general, cancer happens when abnormal cells in your body grow out of control and crowd out normal cells. It can start almost anywhere. Cancer can stay in one spot, or it can metastasize — spread throughout your body. Some cancers grow slowly, while others grow quickly. Most cancers are named for where they start in the body. For instance, “breast cancer” begins in your breast tissue. Many cancers form solid tumors, which are growths of tissue. But blood cancers, such as  leukemia , don’t generally grow as tumors; they stay in the form of individual cells. Tumors can be either malignant (cancerous) or benign (noncancerous). Prevalence: Cancer Is a Common Disease According to the National Cancer Institute, more than 1.6 million new cases of cancer are diagnosed in the United States each year. About 597,690 people die from some form of the disease annually. ( 1 ) Data also shows that more than 38 percent of men...

Asthma

  Asthma is a common chronic (long-term) lung disease in which the lungs' bronchial tubes, or airways, become inflamed. This inflammation causes the airways to become sensitive to environmental triggers, such as dust, smoke, pet dander, or cold air. In reaction to these triggers, an  asthma attack  can occur. The muscles around the bronchial tubes tighten, the lining of the airways becomes inflamed, and the airways overproduce  mucus , making it difficult to breathe. Want to know more about asthma? Read on to learn what experts know about this breathing disorder, why some people develop it and others don’t, lifestyle changes that can help you manage asthma, and how to avoid complications linked to the condition.
