Common Sense Wellness

by

PaulPaladin060900041books.jpgMost of weight loss and fitness is just plain ol common sense which some seem to be lacking. I have 14 basic common sense steps you can take to take the pressure off and enjoy your life in the meantime. Here’s the first 7 and the second set will come tomorrow.

  1. Increase the amount of fruits and veggies you eat. Fruits and veggies are the powerhouses of weight loss and management. Aside from the nutritional benefits the more fibrous ones work to keep your metabolic rate stoked.

  2. Water. No, it cannot and will not flush fat from your body. It helps to keep the body running smoothly. Especially the kidneys whose function is to filter and remove toxins from the body.

  3. Move it Mr/Sister. Whether it’s intentional or incidental exercise , to get the healthy and fit your body needs to be in motion. Sweat is your friend.


  • Stop saying No. To your favorite foods. Eat the things you’ve put on the forbidden list, just have them moderately. Anything that’s deemed as forbidden becomes more enticing.

  • Talk About it. A support system will help to keep you on track. Whether it’s a family member, friend or online buddy. You don’t have to got it alone, there is strength in numbers.

  • Relax. As important as activity is so is downtime. Do what soothes your soul, even if t’s just sitting down and watching your favorite tabloid tv show.

  • Soak it in. Be like a sponge and absorb as much information as you can about weight loss and fitness. The internet is open 24/7 and has more data than you’ll ever read. Dust off your library card and check out a few books; sometimes it’s nice to hold a real book in your hand and because it’s portable you can take it to places that the internet can’t go.
