. When we treat our bodies as God’s temple, it will function as it is made to. But if we
treat it like our trashcan, it becomes run down and full of junk. Healthy living choices aren’t just about having a perfect figure, it’s about allowing your body to function naturally
and feeling great. I’m going to give you a few tips to start living well and seeing a difference in your body’s functions.
DIETS
I am not a huge fan of diets, but some people like the
structure of having someone to tell them what to eat and
not eat. When choosing a diet, be careful: not all diets are
good for your metabolism. Do not for the crash diet or
cleanse. Losing 10 pounds in a week is not natural, and
it will usually pile right back on. When you go back and
forth from diet to diet, you also confuse your metabolism. Choose a long-term diet that emphasizes whole
foods and doesn’t include crazy drinks or pills. Natural
weight loss is about a 1.5 pounds a week. An instant fix
isn’t long lasting; real results take time.
HEALTH FOODS
Not all “diet” foods are healthy. The best diet foods are
naturally occurring like fruits, vegetables, nuts, and meat.
Outside of these foods, you must read labels to know
what actually goes into your food. Avoid hydrogenated
oils as much as possible and high fructose corn syrup,
these lead to all sorts of health issues. Another common
mistake is buying sugar-free everything or using sweeteners. Do you know what is in these sweeteners? No, and
neither does your body. Artificial ingredients confuse
your body and slow down your metabolism. Try to
consume foods that include as few ingredients as
possible.
WORKOUTS
Working out can be a drudgery, or it can be the highlight of your day. Find a workout you enjoy and that
makes you feel good. I love lifting weights and running, however some people would rather do aerobics
or dance as their exercise. Try different things and
find what you like, but whatever you do, don’t give
up on fitness. It is so important to your body. and
I promise once you get into a habit of living active
you will feel so much better. It is also important to
not get bored with your workouts. Try to mix it up
