Staying Healthy Even If You’re Busy

It’s easy to trick ourselves into thinking we just don’t have enough time to do things to keep ourselves in good health. The fact of the matter is that no matter how busy you are, you can always work good health into your schedule if you’re willing to try.

Eat Right

If you have a hectic schedule it can be very tempting to skip the home cooked meals in favor of fast food, or something that can just be popped in the microwave. You can actually eat healthy even if you’re extremely busy if you know how. For starters, skip the junk food. Instead, keep lots of fruits and veggies around for snacking on. Take an apple to work with you instead of a hot pocket. If you’re getting lunch from a fast food restaurant more often than not, consider making a large batch of something delicious on the weekend that you can take to work with you every day of the week. Each weekend, take the time to make a pot of chili, or a large salad. Then, break it down into five servings that you can bring to work with you each day of the work week. That way, you’ll have a nice home cooked meal to take to work with you every day.

Excercise

Just because you’re busy that doesn’t mean you can’t work in some exercise. Consider waking up a half hour earlier than you already do, and using that extra time to run around the block a few times. Also, you can find ways to incorporate exercise into your daily life. For example, instead of taking the elevator, take the stairs. You won’t really be losing that much time, and every little bit of exercise you can work into your day will help you to stay healthy.

Destress

It’s important for you mental and physical health to keep your stress levels low. If you feel like things are getting out of hand, have lunch in the nearest park, or just go for a relaxing walk on your next break. Letting stress build up can lead to irritability, and even back and neck pain. By taking some time to destress, you will stay healthier.

Don’t let your hectic schedule keep you from taking care of yourself. With a little extra work, you can make changes to your habits that will have positive benefits for a long time to come.

How to Get Healthy and Profit from It! (part 1)

Today, I’ve had an epiphany …and with that came an inspiration… “How to get healthy and profit from it.“  Today is the day that life begins with a new resolve to get healthy… and I invite you along to witness, and perhaps join me as I begin the journey on my personal transformation.

White Sugar… it kills you, literally burns you up!

I’m not preach’n here… I’m in the choir! I’ve known how bad it is - sugar - but have continued without abeyance… one cookie at a time! I’ve been living with a sugar addiction and I believe it has affected my life, much more than I ever could have expected. This is personal… and hits home.

I’ve finally reached a threshold in my life where I must take action… and I’d like to encourage anyone who resonates with this, to see for themselves just how much you’ll personally profit from as a result of “getting healthy”.

I have heard it said that “if you want to be ‘at the top of your game‘ – in every sense of the word – you have to look after your health…” something I didn’t pay much attention to, even though I was sick.

Now, I have to! So, let’s start here… that refined white sugar that goes in your double-double coffee… is “white death!” How about just changing it up a bit, to start?  Try using “Stevia”, a naturally occurring, organic sugar substitute… and while you’re at it, try a single shot of cream, or low -fat milk in the coffee. One step at a time!

You know, the world gets busy and we can get caught up in it so many ways. We get too rushed to stop and have a relaxing meal. Instead, under pressure of deadlines, or just being too busy or tired to cook a nutritious meal, we find ourselves going through the “In-and-Out Burger”, scorfing down a double-patty something-or-other, a medium fries (I restrained myself…lol!) and wash it down with a large soda.

Now, that doesn’t seem too far out of whack, since the whole neighborhood is also there… but think about it? You probably just consumed about 50-75% of your daily caloric intake in a single meal.

Incredible… and yet we think nothing of it! I know I didn`t!

But then, later in life the physical space that we occupy… this “meat” body… starts to break down and we begin to question… why? You’ve most certainly heard the phrase… you are what you eat?  How much more productive and efficient, clear-headed, sharp and mentally focused could we be (which effectively translates in to profitable)… if we ate right?
