When was the last time you did it yourself? Have you been paying someone to do it for you? You’d better do it yourself…it gives you time to do a bit of exercise.

When I hit the number 40, I was stunned. 40 years old! I felt I was so old. Then I looked in the mirror. Nah I’m not that old. It’s more like being more mature than getting older.

The next day, I took some time to sit and think. And I made a list of what I’ll be doing with the newly age.

Now it’s been a few years from that day. And I feel healthy and totally happy. People ask me how I manage it.

Here are what I told them: (more…)

• Steam your food instead of fry them.
• Skin your chicken.
• Replace chocolate bars with apples,oranges, strawberries or any other fruit that you like.
• Use smaller plates to help you reduce the portion.
• Dance, clean up the house, do some gardening…anything that can make you ‘move’ and not just sit down…
• Swimming…isn’t it tempting in such a hot summer like this?
• Make a note on everything you put into your mouth…it will be your food diary.
• Chew the food slowly.
• Drink more water. Remember, w-a-t-e-r…not soft drink.
• Read your food label, avoid those with too much fat.
• Don’t use pills.
• Turn a healthy habit into your lifestyle.
• Join some diet groups to get some motivation.

For those who love this kind of exercise, you’re lucky. You must have a good memory.

Experts found that it boosts brainpower by building new brain cells in a brain region linked with memory and memory loss.

Yet, the effects in adolescent period remains unknown.

13 Do’s and Don’ts while Dieting

• Do it more for your health instead of your weight
• Don’t consume less than 1400-1500 calories each day. If you do, you won’t get all the nutrients you need.
• Eat a wide variety of foods from all the food groups.
• Never try diet meals, pills or potions if you wish for a long-term success.
• Don’t forget to exercise.
• Try strength training to help increase lean muscle mass which will fire up your metabolism.
• Of all the fat, avoid trans fat the most.
• Make sure carbohydrates arrive on your plates in the form of whole grains and in fruits and vegetables.
• Avoid fried food, steamed one is better.
• Re-fuel when you’re hungry, but make sure that the snacks are healthy ones.
• Watch your portion sizes.
• Do lose no more than two pounds per week. If you lose more, it means that you are losing not only fat, but also water, electrolytes and muscle. Losing your muscle will slow down your metabolic rate.
• Turn your healthy diet into a lifestyle.

Happy Thursday!

This is something you’d better not only say but also do.

Keep saying it won’t make you be as healthy as you wish. But, doing it will instead augment your health level.
