Ten Reasons to Work on Wellness
|
Aerobic
exercise is good for your heart and your waistline. Try to get 30 minutes
on most days.
Either take in
3500 calories
less or burn
3500 calories
more than
you take in
to lose one
pound.
|
| 1. |
If
everyone were well, insurance rates would have to be lower |
| 2. |
You
will have more energy. |
| 3. |
You
can climb stairs without getting too winded. |
| 4. |
Fewer lectures from your doctor. |
| 5. |
You
can better prepare for retirement. |
| 6. |
You
may sleep better. |
| 7. |
You may feel more in control. |
| 8. |
You may
finally get to see what your shoes look like. |
| 9. |
You may even amaze yourself. |
| 10. |
If
you don't, who will?
|
| Losing
weight is hard work. Remember, you must either take in 3500 calories less
or burn up 3500 calories more than you're taking in to lose one pound. Losing
weight without working out means you are losing muscle and water; and that's
not good. That's why a combination of healthy eating plus exercise is the
best way to lose weight and keep it off. A one pound a week weight loss
is very good. There are no easy answers: lifestyle change is necessary to
achieve and maintain life-long weight loss.
That
said, let us emphasize that the goal here should actually be fitness.
Concentrate on healthy eating and getting in shape physically, and the
weight loss will follow, not quickly, but gradually.
