Guest Post: Five Tips To Get Fit & Be Healthy Without Going To A Gym Or Giving Up Your Indulgences!
Do you like sweating in the gym and running
for miles every day, or are you more into a pint of beer, burger, fries, pizza, and a
cuban cigar from time to time? Eating tasty food while
watching tv sounds good, but you’re not happy about the
fact that all those pleasures have become visible around your waist? There’s
no reason to despair because, whether you believe it or not, there is a way out of that vicious
cycle. Check out these 5 suggestions
on how to be healthy even when you’re not ready to give up all of your
“sweet sins”:
1. Eat, drink, and work while walking
Well, yes, it’s not really possible to walk
with a computer in your hands, but even when your work requires being around a PC all the time, you can steal a moment or two to stretch your legs.
Take a short break from work and get up every half an hour or so in order to improve
your circulation. Instead of having your lunch in the restaurant, simply eat
and walk. Apart from saving you time,
this idea is a great way to get rid of unwanted kilograms, since some studies
showed that people who walk while eating are less susceptible to obesity.
2. Walk with ankle weights
Although this may look like a scene from
the life of a prisoner, you’ll be surprised how fast this method melts
excess fat and burns calories. Every walk (or biking ) performed
with ankle weights is equivalent to doing it 5 minutes
more, which is why you’ll lose the weight faster. This will save you time as
well because you will be working out while going to and from work without
spending more time at the gym.
3. Eat quality food
You don’t have to become a healthy food
fanatic, but eating a burger and a fries every day is one of the worst things you can
do to your body. There
is a good reason it is called junk food, you know. Instead, opt for a week in the countryside and you’ll see a fast improvement. A diet of fresh milk
and cheese (for those that can't tolerate cow's milk, try goat's milk - it's a bit easier on the digestion than cow's milk and has many health benefits), organic
meats and vegetables coming straight from the garden or Farmer's Market will do wonders for your digestion and weight.
4. Save a half an hour for mental rest
In the modern era in which we live, a number of people gain weight because of stress and lack of sleep. If you think your team’s debacle is worth your eaten nails – think
again. You
will not be rewarded for worrying, but your stomach and nerves will never
forget all those hours you spent eating your heart out. Take some time off here
and there, and allow yourself at least half an hour of peace and quiet every
day – you will feel much better.
5. Drink more
tea
Teas are real miracle workers for your health – nettle, mint, marigold, cranberry, aronia (kind of
chokeberry), they
all taste good and have great benefits as well. Mix them with raw honey and a teaspoon of propolis, and you will boost your
immune system in no time!
It is fascinating just how some of these forgotten or lesser known plants can be easily rediscovered. Another great example is nigella sativa, also known as black cumin. This magnificent plant is under research for its healing potential to fight cancer or metabolic syndrome. Perhaps, the future of modern medicine can be found all around us - in nature. Make plants a significant part of your life and forget about illnesses!
