There are many tips, tricks and ideas that people have to help you live a healthy lifestyle. Not only are there a lot of ways but there are a lot of people telling you what to do to live a healthy lifestyle.

I expect that you know more than you give yourself credit for and besides listening to me, you should take these following ideas and leverage them with the knowledge you already have to live a lifestyle that will make you happy and healthy.

Firstly you should make sure that your eating is good. Next time you go to the supermarket buy a lot of food that is fresh.

When I say fresh I mean food that have not been processed and put in a bag or a box.

This mean more fresh fruits and vegetables and eggs and less flour based foods like crackers, cookies, cakes and breads. I also try to get people to eat a bit more protein, you know like fish, meat and chicken but depending on how you eat now those ideas may be enough already.

Next make sure that you have enough water in your diet. Many of us drink a lot of coffee and soft drinks and as much as these taste good they are not that great for your body and your body really does crave water.

Again this is up to you to listen to what your body needs and if you are thirsty grab some water more often than you grab the other drinks.

Do you feel tired all of the time? Often people feel tired for one of two reasons. Either they do not sleep enough or they allow stress to enter their lives and never let it go.

Letting go of the stuff in your life is the easy part. Make sure you action things that you need to do when you are in the position to change things and otherwise just have a list in every place that you need to get things done so that you can take care of it at its own place.

The sleep part if it is an issue will take care of itself once you let go of the stress and go to bed, with no TV, at a reasonable hour.

Last is exercise. Oh, did you think I would forget about exercise? Make sure that you have your body moving for at least 30 minutes a day.

I actually went as far as to move close to my work so that I could ride a bike to and from work every day and this alone has freed up more time because I do not have to worry about exercise and at the same time I have an increase in energy, sleep better and am able to eat a little worse than I would be able to otherwise.

Exercise is something that you should figure out as far as the kind and the time of day that you will fit them in, what works for me will quite possibly not work for you and this is where most exercise plans FAIL.

Does this how to list seem tough? I hope not.

There are many ways that you can make changes in your life and these how to’s are just an example of a few things that when put together can make a big difference in your life

Finding best tips to lose weight is not difficult. In fact there are so many tips, so much advice, that it can be hard to find a consistent way forward. One of the best tips I ever came across was something I found by accident, and it works a treat.

Best Tip Comes By Accident

First, remember that old fashioned advice comes in many forms and some of them are little gems, using smaller plates for example. How about eating more slowly? Plus of course there is the evergreen of watching how many calories you eat.

Sure you have heard best tips to lose before but the reason they have stuck around for so long may be simply because they work. You can use any or all of them on a long term basis, and all of them allow you to keep on eating the same types of food you ate before.

Exercise is sure to be included in any great fitness list. The more exercise you do, the more calories you burn, but you need to be careful which type of exercise you do. If you build too much muscle without getting rid of the fat, the muscle may develop *under* the fat, which will not get you the body shape that you want.

There are two types of exercise that you can do and surprisingly maybe the best tip is to do weights hard so that you have lots of muscle to burn your calories. Also there is cardio, moving at any time is a great way to lose weight

In my case it was when I took up running, I found a plan which included a lot of walking, because it’s less jarring on the body.

Running may cause injury to joints that aren’t used to it, so in fact the simplest exercise can often be the best. Walking still burns a high amount of calories. So why not include it in your daily schedule?

Walking for Half and Hour

A simple half hour walk, at a pace which doesn’t leave you panting, may burn a couple of hundred calories, which is great. What I discovered though, was that it helps if you think of those calories in terms of actual food that you might be tempted to eat.

For example, I knew the walking was burning about 200 calories, and I also knew that a chocolate bar would add all those calories right back on, plus maybe a few more. It changed my mental outlook hugely, and of all the tips to lose , this one has stuck.

To develop the point, it meant that if I ate the chocolate bar, I knew I would have to do another half hour walk to ‘pay’ for it, or from another angle it was wasting a half hour walk I had already done.

It meant that I was now viewing the chocolate as something that spoilt my hard work, so I was less inclined to eat it. Yes, I still eat chocolate occasionally, and love it, but even now I view each bar as a big pile of calories that needs to be accounted for.

I found that concept by accident after taking action with short walks, just going to show that reading tips to lose is nothing like as effective as actually acting on them.

So remember if your are looking for the best tips to lose they maybe just the thoughts in your head.

I saw this story a couple of days ago and it is the grossest thing in a while. During a study it was found that Hot Dogs often contain lots of what they don’t state, including 2% human DNA.
