HI GOOD DAY TO ALL!!!
Healthy living starts right now. Experts tell you how :
TAKE STOCK
* Make appointments with your doctor and dentist *
( Screening and immunizations, and take the opportunity to ask your doctor any questions you might have.)
* Gauge your girth *
( Measure your height and weight to check your BMI, and measure your waist circumference to see if you're overweight and if your waistline is putting your health at risk.)
* Assess your activity *
(How much physical activity do you get in a typical week? How intense is that activity? How much variety do you get in your activity, and how much do you enjoy it? The CDC recommends that adults get at least two and a half hours per week of moderate-intensity aerobic activity or one hour and 15 minutes per week of vigorous-intensity aerobic activity, plus muscle-strengthening activities at least two days per week.)
MOVE MORE
(Make it fun,Keep track of it,Set a weekly goal for activity,Work activity into your day.)
UPGRADE YOUR DIET
(Replace "I should" with "I choose." So instead of "I should be eating more fruits and vegetables," it's "I choose to eat more fruits and vegetables" or "I choose not to.Choose to plan. Stock your pantry with healthy fare and bring healthy snacks with you so you're prepared when you get hungry.Slow down and savor your food. Don't watch TV, work, or drive while you're eating.Shoot for five to nine daily servings of varied fruits and vegetables. Cover the rainbow of fruit and vegetable colors to get a good mix of nutrients.)
MANAGE STRESS
(Routine maintenance: Develop positive coping skills, such as meditation and visualization, and look for activities, such as yoga or exercise, to keep your baseline stress level in check.)
(Breakthrough stress: Find ways to handle stressful situations that flare up without warning. For instance, Williams says that after a stressful meeting at work, you might run up and down the stairs a few times to burn off anger, or retreat to a bathroom stall to take a few deep breaths and refocus.)
CHALLENGE YOUR MIND
(Knopman explains that brain fitness is influenced by many factors, including education and opportunities for mentally stimulating activities starting in childhood, and also by the presence or absence of depression, diabetes, smoking, high blood pressure, and other risks.
Observational studies have shown that people who engage in mentally stimulating activities may be less likely to develop dementia. But Knopman notes that such studies don't prove cause and effect, so it's not clear if mentally stimulating activities protect against dementia or whether people with healthier brains are drawn to those activities in the first place.)
