Almost immediately, you'll begin to look better, feel better and have more energy. You'll start to slow down the aging process too. And if that's not enough, you'll also begin to significantly reduce your risk of diabetes, heart disease and cancer.<br /><br />What are the top four healthy living tips. According to Dr. Augustus Grant, former president of the American Heart Association, poor diet, excess body weight, physical inactivity and smoking are responsible for the premature death of nearly 1.5 million Americans every year. So, if want to be healthy, you need to eat well, manage your weight, start exercising and stop smoking.<br /><br />And you don't have to join a gym or go to a weight loss clinic in order to make the necessary changes in your lifestyle. You can get some advice from experts in these areas, but, in the end, you will have to take total personal responsibility for keeping your commitment to your goal. Taking care of your health is a do-it-yourself project. You need to be your own healthy living center.<br /><br />Starting an exercise program is probably the easiest place to start a healthy living program. It's as easy as taking a walk in the park. Just by taking a brisk half- hour walk four days a week, you can cut your risk of death from heart disease by 34% and of death by all diseases by 39%. People who walk for 3 to 4 hours a week reduce their risk of death by 50%. And walkers can lose over a pound a month without even changing their what they eat.<br /><br />Eating right, however, will not only give you the energy to stay on an exercise program, it will also help you lose weight and keep it off permanently. The secret is to commit to a sensible eating plan for the rest of your life and not just to lose a few pounds.<br /><br />Begin by getting off the junk food wagon and eliminating refined carbohydrates - white bread, white pasta, white rice, white potatoes, cakes, cookies and pastry - and start eating 100% whole grain foods instead. Then start substituting broiled fish and skinless poultry for burgers, hot dogs and sandwich meats. Finally, include at least five and up to nine daily servings of highly nutritious fruits and vegetables to your daily menu.<br /><br />And, last, if you're still smoking, by all stop. Smoking kills. It's not only linked to cancer of the lung and throat, but it doubles your risk of stroke and quadruples your risk heart disease. Smoking also yellows your teeth and wrinkles your skin, making you look much older than you are.<br /><br />Follow these four tips - eat well, manage your weight, exercise and stop smoking - and a healthy living lifestyle can be yours.

Basic Introduction to Healthy Living

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9spElKWIN7wM_Ys7tENXxB3xejoUlL20zJSJy0hvNG5CwYzzxLrQ9YwYm-a4rl2gJKiHwpqMRbyoNIJ-npfkC_qXM69b2W1fVjpD93LvSZMHcYsBdUnEfKdEZYeM0nAhbEB9zvZ-zKie7/s1600/FamilyFit.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9spElKWIN7wM_Ys7tENXxB3xejoUlL20zJSJy0hvNG5CwYzzxLrQ9YwYm-a4rl2gJKiHwpqMRbyoNIJ-npfkC_qXM69b2W1fVjpD93LvSZMHcYsBdUnEfKdEZYeM0nAhbEB9zvZ-zKie7/s320/FamilyFit.jpg" width="320" /></a></div> <br /> It is likely that you probably think of certain things when you think of healthy living. Here are a few things that may come to mind:<br /><br />Eating well<br />Being thin<br />Exercising regularly<br />Getting enough sleep<br />Visiting your natural healthcare provider  for annual checkups<br />All of these "touchstone" issues can be major factors in healthy living, but often they can obscure the real issues that may be preventing you from living a truly healthy lifestyle. For example, many research studies show that it is not necessarily how thin or how fat you are that determines how healthy you are, but rather the lifestyle that has led you to be that way. Often, slightly heavier people who eat more responsibly than thin ones actually live longer and healthier lives. They can be more active and experience less physical strain on their bodies than their thinner counterparts. This is just one example of a way that our cultural perception of "healthy living" may actually be leading us astray.<br /><br />In order to truly live a healthy lifestyle, you need to understand what you are undertaking when you decide to pursue this goal. A healthy lifestyle often leads to many desirable things, including a longer lifespan, higher levels of activity, more fulfilling existence and multiple options about where you go and how you get there in life in general. To determine what type of lifestyle will be the healthiest for you, you need to determine several things before you get started:<br /><br />·         Know your ideal diet<br /><br />Eating right is important, but people's bodies react to food differently. Your personal preferences and health issues will determine what you should put in your mouth and how much of it you should be eating.<br /><br />·         Determine what vitamin regimen is right for you<br /><br />While you are evaluating your dietary habits, evaluate your vitamin and mineral intake as well. Vitamins, like diets, should be customized to fit your unique body and health requirements.<br /><br />·         Take a hard look at your "healthy" habits<br /><br />You may be doing "healthy" things that are actually hard on your system. The wrong diet, the wrong types of exercise and a number of other "healthy" activities that our culture says are good for us may actually be stressing your body out because you are not uniquely suited to these activities.<br /><br />Healthy living is important, and it can be difficult to master if you have spent a lifetime misunderstanding the meaning of the words "healthy lifestyle." However, you will be amazed at what you have been missing once you find the healthy way of life that is perfectly suited to you.
