Health Advice: If Not Now, When?

Do you have any fitness goals? We all have such goals, it’s just that most of us fail to achieve it, and, worse, some never even had the determination to start their plan towards it. We often hear people say, “I will lessen my carb intake”, “I will stop eating junk foods”, “I will control my cravings for sweets,” and so on and so forth, but all these just passed by in the air.

We all need to take care of our health. The idea of starting to live a healthy life mustn’t be anchored with the idea age. Not because you reached a certain age, like 25 and above, you must oblige yourself to watch over your food choices. Erase that kind of mentality, and decide to live a healthy life as young as you can.

Here are the top three steps that’ll lead you towards a healthy life:

Balanced Diet

Holiday season is over, no more excuses to indulge with too much sweets. Start saying no to extra rice. Being physically fit does not mean you have to have curves, six packs, or arms cuts, rather it’s about eating properly - not too much and not too little. No one said you have to deprive yourself of delicious foods, just be in control of the amount of your food intake.

Having a balanced diet will also spare you from developing diseases, thus leaving you healthy all year long. Keep in mind that not all who eat too much are healthy, as well as not all who eat too little are unhealthy. It has to meet somewhere in between to strike a balance.

Annual Checkup

Did you consult your family doctor last year? When was the last time you visited your trusted dental clinic in Manila? If you can’t remember any dates for these two, you really have a problem. It’s good if you didn’t experience any dental problem, and didn’t get sick last year, but still, you need to see your doctor once in awhile. Take care of your dental health and ensure that nothing will go wrong in the future. Have your teeth properly cleaned 2x or 3x a year, and see if there are any cracks that need to be filled up. Small details may lead to greater issues when not given proper attention.

Exercise Regularly

Stop giving excuses like you’re too busy working. This is just a lame excuse of lazy people. If you have time to browse the net, watch a series, play online games, and get angry with your officemate, then you really have a lot of spare time.
