It is so established by nature that in winter we are drawn to fatty and high-calorie foods to get additional calories, which, in theory, should go to warm us in freezing frosts. But since now the 21st century is in the yard, and we no longer need additional fat reserves, these extra calories themselves do not go anywhere, even if they are very well asked. With the arrival of spring, the desire to look like Greek gods for the beach season is sharply activated in us, and we convulsively begin to put our body in order after hibernation.
To do this in a hurry, of course, will not work. And such rates are not very useful for health. You need to adhere to the right lifestyle all the time. This is an ongoing process. I think that the manifesto of a healthy lifestyle can become something like a reminder for those who have decided to put themselves in order, and no longer go off this path. I don't think all the points are mandatory, but some of them should always be followed. Especially Nos. 11, 13, 14 and 42.
This manifesto was compiled by Celestine Chua, whose articles I have used for posts more than once. Most recently, she arranged a fitness challenge, a healthy lifestyle for 21 days, and many more similar experiments. I think she knows exactly what she's writing about.
1. Drink more water.
2. Sleep as long as it takes to recover.
3. Meditate.
4. Exercise.
5. Choose the exercises you enjoy.
6. Train different parts of the body.
7. Eat more fruits.
8. Eat more vegetables.
9. Choose vegetables and fruits of bright colors.
10. Eat less processed foods (fast food).
11. Love yourself.
12. Walk or run barefoot.
13. Clear your life of negative people.
14. Cleanse yourself of negativity.
15. Do not keep negative thoughts in yourself.
16. Avoid foods that are addictive.
17. Breathe. Deep.
18. Pay attention to the problem with emotional eating.
19. Eat in small portions.
20. Stop eating if you feel that you are already full.
21. Replace white carbohydrates with brown ones.
22. Define your life goals.
23. Give up fatty foods.
24. Reduce the consumption of foods containing large amounts of sugar.
25. Try to eat organic food.
26. Watch your posture.
27. Reduce the use of sodas and caffeine.
28. Stop drinking alcohol.
29. Learn how to cook.
30. Learn to say «No ».
31. Take a bottle of water with you when you leave the house.
32. Dine in salad bars more often.
33. Reduce your calorie intake.
34. Quit smoking.
35. Avoid passive smoking.
36. Snack on healthy snacks.
37. Drink fruit and vegetable smoothies.
38. Drink juices (vegetable and fruit).
39. Try a vegetarian diet.
40. Try a vegan diet.
41. Try a raw food diet. (A food system in which the use of heat-treated products is almost completely excluded.)
42. Go out for walks more often.
43. Take good care of your teeth.
44. Choose your classes at a sports club.
45. Communicate more often with people who lead an active lifestyle.
I would like to draw your attention to the fact that before taking up the implementation of some items (veganism, raw food, vegetarianism, juice consumption), it is better to consult a doctor and make sure that you will not have health problems.
There are enough correct thoughts among these 45 points, and based on them you can make your own manifesto, print it out and try to adhere to these instructions not only before the beach season :)
