By Virginia Laird
Although it may be easier to find a health or fitness program to purchase, along with all the food needed to get the promised results, the cost can get astronimical. There is no reason for a person to break the bank in order to improve their health. There are many tried and true things a person can do in order to establish a more healthy lifestyle. Some of these things include:
- Choose water
- Prioritize exercise
- Stop smoking
Choose Water
More people should choose water as the beverage of choice, although other drinks may seem more appealing. The body needs water to help flush the toxins away, as well as maintain other functions of the body. When the body is dehydrated it can cause a plethora of health problems. Drinking more water can also serve as a calorie control. Research suggests drinking one glass of water before each meal can help to control the amount of food a person may eat.
Prioritize Exercise
It is important to get some exercise. What a person chooses to do for this is entirely up to them. It is recommended each person get as much as 30 to 40 minutes of exercise at least three to four times a week. Exercise can be in the form of a jog, taking a class at the gym, or even a walk through the neighborhood. The important thing is to make time to do something. For some people, having a workout buddy helps to keep them on track and prevents skipping out.
Stop Smoking
Talk about not spending a dime, quitting smoking can actually be a move that can put more money in a person’s wallet. Not only is smoking costly, it is also extremely unhealthy. Smoking has been linked to a wide variety of health issues, including cancers, high blood pressure, as well as many others. If you struggle with this one, don’t be afraid to reach out for help. There are a number of places and organizations that offer help with breaking this habit at low or no cost.
No matter what others may say, getting healthy should not cost a dime. Rather, it is more about personal choices and priorities. With a little dedication and hard work, a healthier lifestyle is attainable. May you find the strength to stay on the path to a healthier you.
