If you
want to keep fit and healthy at all times, then you have to make some active
effort. Keeping fit doesn't only mean looking good from the outside. It means
being physically active, mentally sound, and feeling energetic and ready to
face the tasks of everyday life.
Nutraclick's
Guide to Remain Fit and Healthy
In
order to be fit and healthy, you don't have to run for hours, or spend several
hours at a gym, or playing football or tennis, or riding a bike. You can start
by doing simple exercises. People have all sorts of excuses for not exercising.
Most everyone has family, children, and busy work schedules to take care of.
However, if you want to stay healthy and live longer, then you have to make
some little changes towards a healthy lifestyle.
Balanced
Diet
To keep
fit and healthy, follow a healthy and balanced diet everyday. Make sure that
your everyday diet includes lots of fruits, vegetables, and protein. You should
cut down on red meat, junk foods, caffeine, and sugar intake. Avoid soft drinks
or canned fruit juices. Instead, opt for a variety of fresh fruits, vegetable
salads, freshly made fruit juices, milk, nutritious energy drinks, etc.
You
need to be more active in order to keep fit and healthy. Modern life has become
very sedentary, with fewer scopes for physical activities. You need to exercise
in order to burn those calories. Minimum physical activity slows down your
metabolism rate. So, you can put on weight even when you eat less. On the other
hand, exercise and a more active life will burn up the calories, even when you
eat a little more. You can simply go for a brisk walk, or jog, or you can join
a gym. The important thing is that you must include some physical exercise in
your everyday life, because fitness and health cannot be achieved without some
physical exercise.

For a
healthy life sufficient sleep is important. Lack of sleep can make you feel
tired the next day. So work hard, but make sure that you have enough sleep; so
that your body gets the time to replenish itself.
Do not
skip your breakfast, no matter how busy you are. Breakfast is the first and
most important meal of the day. It works as a fuel for your body and keeps you
going for the rest of day. If you skip breakfast, you will feel hungrier in the
latter part of the day, and you may end up eating more! So, you may run a risk
of gaining weight, if you skip your breakfast frequently.
If you
are not a healthy eater and find it difficult to improve your food habits due
to busy, erratic, work schedules, then you may be depriving your body of the
essential nutrients that are important for good health. In the long run,
unhealthy food habits can lead you to serious health hazards. An easy solution
to this problem is to include multi-vitamin supplements in your daily food
intake. Multi-vitamins can be taken to replenish the nutritional deficiencies
in your daily diet.
