5 Tips To Start A Healthy Lifestyle from a Dietitian Perspective

Tips for a healthy lifestyle


 Are you wondering how and where to start? What counts in a healthy lifestyle?

First, let me burst some myths related to a healthy lifestyle that most people have. A healthy lifestyle does not only come in a lean body or super sexy six-packs. Or if you have luxury cars or well-furnished mansions or if you can throw high-end parties, all those things do not put you on the pedestal of a healthy person.

In real, health is a combination of three things taking into account your physical, mental emotional, and social well-being. For a healthy lifestyle, you need to consider all these factors. Healthy eating, daily activity, and some productive chit-chat are important components of a healthy lifestyle.

Let me introduce you to some helpful tips that you will surely try and thank me later.

Accept And Enjoy Where You Are

Sometimes, the biggest enemy in thriving is our unhappiness and uncertainty. We don’t accept things the way they should be accepted. For example, if you are unemployed and struggling to get a job. And if you don’t eat or drink properly due to this stress then you need to change your mind lens. You need to think that time will pass and you will not stay in this same situation. All influential personalities know how to stay loyal to themselves in uncertain conditions.

Make A Goal of Eating One Healthy Meal/Snack In A Day

Good Health is Wealth. If you want good health then you have to choose balance meals. I always prefer restriction over elimination because this is a realistic goal. You need to start with a small goal. Let’s suppose instead of starting a diet, the first aim is for determination and consistency with one healthy meal or a snack or 10k steps in a day for sustainable changes.

Think less And Walk More

The big things always come up with some prices. If you aim to do something big then being active should be the first priority, as the activity is linked with productivity. If your schedule doesn’t allow you for a workout or exercise plan then just try to include some ways to stay active like sports, active hobbies, swimming and many more other activities. Instead of making excuses and sitting all day on a chair, take some random breaks and walk for 5 minutes. Try to do home chores like washing dishes, and sweeping your room.

Sit In A Cheering Circle

Remember, always sit in good companies. A good company of friends includes individuals who talk about growth, who have ambitions, and who talk positively. These are people who cheer you up and come up with solutions for your problems. Talk to them and start together. Try to involve them in your workout plan or eat together. Try and share healthy recipes with them. If you have a fitness freak friend or a person who cares about his/her health, it could be your chance to stand out and just a step towards your healthy lifestyle goal.

Learn To Forgive Yourself

A healthy lifestyle comes with positive thoughts and a mindful relationship with food. You need to feed your mind with positive and motivating thoughts and your stomach with healthy and nutritious foods. And to achieve this you need to learn how to manage yourself and improve your relationship with food. How guilt-free treats and snacks are good for you.

So, In the end, let’s just finish this with a famous quote by Jim Rohn:

“Take care of your body. It’s the only place you have to live”.
