1. FIND EXERCISE YOU ENJOY

This is important when it comes to staying consistent with your workouts. If you are continually doing exercises you don't enjoy, and they leave you feeling drained physically and emotionally, it’s only going to last so long. You are better off finding exercises that make you feel good, and you can stick to long term, even if it's not the most intense. Consistent low-intensity exercise will always triumph inconsistent high-intensity exercise.

2. BE PATIENT WHEN IT COMES TO REACHING YOUR PHYSICAL GOALS

Remember, results take time. Be easy on yourself.
Nothing good comes easy. Learn to fall in love with the process and the person
you become throughout the journey.

3. DON’T GIVE UP THE FOODS YOU LOVE

I'm a firm believer in never giving up the foods
you love. Find a way to make your favorite foods healthier. If pizza is your
favorite food, don't give it up. This will leave you feeling deprived. Get
creative and use clean ingredients to make your healthy version.

4. DON’T COMPETE WITH ANYONE

This is your life and your journey. No two people
are the same, so you should never compare yourself to others. As long as you
wake up every day and try to be better than you were yesterday, you are on the
right track.

5. TRY NEW THINGS

Step out of your comfort zone. Try a new fitness class with a friend and explore different foods. Grocery shopping based on what's in season is an easy way to begin experimenting with different foods and exposing yourself to a wide variety of fruits and vegetables. If you have never meal prepped before, try it out! Stepping out of your comfort zone and switching things up will keep things interesting and help you stay motivated and inspired to make this way of living a permanent lifestyle.

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?
