Eating and exercise

by Metropol | January 17, 2023 12:00 pm

Millions of people worldwide make resolutions every January, hoping to improve their health. Most wish to lose weight, get fit, or eat healthy, so here are some tips that may help.

Getting healthy doesn’t just happen overnight so patience is a virtue in this instance. You will also need to factor in lifestyle choices and how to fit exercise in around those, as well as any health problems that may lead to unwanted complications.

Maybe talk to an expert, such as a dietician, a personal trainer, or your doctor, for advice. Not everyone is a fan of gyms and group sessions either, but there are plenty of other options.

1. Eat the right amount of calories for your age, gender, height, weight, and physical activity level. Make half of your plate fruits and vegetables.

2. Switch to an eating style that is low in saturated fat, salt, and added sugars. Drink water instead of sugary drinks and eat fruit for dessert.

3. Be physically active your way.
Start by doing what you can and choosing activities you like. Adults should aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity each week.
