Fast Track to Better Health-4 Easy Tips

Would you like to feel younger, look great, have more energy, confidence, enthusiasm, and zest for living? Well, you can do just that. It all begins with your decision to change.

Do these four things and your health, appearance, and energy level will rapidly improve.

Revamp your kitchen. What foods sabotage you daily, if not hourly? Well, grab a trash bag. Get rid of the sabotage foods right now. If you feel it is not right to waste food, realize this: Those trashcan foods will rapidly go to your waist, which is wasting your health. If you feel guilty about eliminating those empty calorie foods, donate the money they cost you to a shelter.

Shut the television off for a week! Yes, you heard me right. The prime reason you feel you do not have time to exercise has to do with your sedentary lifestyle. The average person watches 28 hours of television weekly. By turning the TV off, you will actually become restless. You will wonder what to do. Replace your unproductive poor-health promoting TV habit with exercise.

Weight yourself at the same time every day. It will stop you from suddenly gaining 10 pounds! If you are up more than a pound or two, cut back on your eating and exercise consistently.

Get a food journal and calorie counter book. Set a daily caloric goal. The average woman will lose 1-2 pounds weekly by eating between 1,200-1,500 calories daily. The average man will lose 2-3 pounds by eating between 1,800-2,100 calories daily. Track everything that you eat. Writing it down ends the selective memory.

You only live once. What are you waiting for? Do you want to look great, feel younger, and have more energy? Revamp your kitchen, shut off the TV, weigh yourself daily, and get a food journal. These steps will keep you on the fast track to better health.
