Getting healthy is necessary to living a long, full life. You know that. But not everyone knows where to start. A combination of diet, exercise, and taking healthy supplements can go a long way toward improving the quality of your life, and with the prevalence of social media, it means you are never alone in your efforts.
The following steps will help get you started on the road to a better you:
– Eat well: the key to a healthy lifestyle is a healthy diet, which means starting the day off right with a good-for-you breakfast. Data from multiple studies have shown that people who eat breakfast are less likely to overeat and snack later in the day. Breakfast does not have to be boring or tasteless either. Granola cereals, for instance, such as System LS Rise granola are high in fiber and protein. In particular, System LS Rise features organic ancient chia seeds and barley malt. Also, think outside the (cereal) box. If you are running late and need to grab and go, a breakfast bar, a protein shake, or even leftover chicken from the night before will all work.
– Be smart about supplements: various factors come into play when trying to lose weight and get healthy, which means that sometimes diet is not quite enough – especially for those who eat more meals out than in. In those situations, a multi-vitamin designed to help support the immune system and provide missing nutrients can help fill the void. Supplements make sure your body is getting what it needs to stay healthy.
– Build your support system: improving your health is hard and it can be a struggle, which is why it is important to get support and encouragement. Today’s social media outlets provide multiple options for seeking advice, sharing health tips, and information. For example, the System LS Facebook page provides a place to comment on health and nutrition, share ideas, and get motivated by reading success stories.
– Get moving: moderate exercise can yield a multitude of benefits, from improving your mood, to lowering cholesterol, to building bone density – all important as you start to age. Other benefits of exercise include the obvious: maintaining a healthy weight and boosting your energy because your heart and lungs are working more efficiently. In addition, exercise can also boost your sex life. Don’t believe it? Think about it: if your energy is up, and your weight is down, you will feel better about your appearance and more self-confident. Have trouble sleeping? Exercise can also help with this.
