healthyful life

With the increase in cancer rates and obesity and ever growing knowledge of trans fats, saturated fats, carcinogens, whole foods, organic, and a list of other buzz words, many people are now asking themselves How can I live a Healthy Lifestyle? While each person may have their own definition, a healthy lifestyle should lie in Balance. Balance in all aspects of life, food, hobbies, business, family, education, and everywhere else.

To help those who are genuinely looking to make changes in their life, for themselves and family, Sabaidi Health has put together a list of steps to show how you can begin a journey down a path that leads to a healthy lifestyle.

Sit down, by yourself, with a friend, spouse, relative, or whomever you plan on sharing this path with, and honestly look at your life. Make a list of different Headlines that fill your life; i.e. Eating, Exercise, Work, Family, Finance, etc. Some headlines may not be there, but you would like them to, such as Education, Travel.

A confusing heading perhaps, but first things first, and that is a first step. You can not begin somewhere you're not, so you have to first figure out where you are starting from. With each of your headlines, figure our where you are; for instance:

Family: Spend a couple hours with wife and kids when I get home from work. We usually watch TV. Take kids to soccer games on the weekend.

Eating: coffee for breakfast, fast food 3 times a week, microwaved food 2 times a week, lot of fruit, home cooked meal on weekends, too many potato chips

Look at your list. Look at your headlines and descriptions and see where you are. Think about where you want to be, and figure out how to get there. For the example above,

Changes:

Family: I would like to spend more "Quality Time" with my family. Maybe play a board game or play outdoor game like Wiffle Ball or Badminton with them. Maybe on the weekends, or when I get home instead of TV.

Eating:Eat something for breakfast (will help to boost metabolism, and give me more energy)

Try to cut down on Fast food to once a week, or switch to a healthier fast food options (Subway)

Fruit - GOOD

Try to eat more Home Cooked meals (don't really have the time, but maybe I can cook more than I need on the weekends and microwave the left overs during the week)

More times than not, simply not doing things is our biggest enemy. Excuses are easy to find. Its not hard to live a healthy lifestyle, you just have to do it. Be serious about it, for yourself, and your family. Each change you make in your life will benefit You as a person; your Health and General Well Being.

As I said before, its about Balance. Start slow, but start. Its not a matter of cutting out all snack foods, running marathons, and needing to be a millionaire, its about making adjustments in your life to increase your overall well being.
