Health expert, Dian Griesel, Ph.D., and Tom Griesel said that the beginning of each year (January), an increasing number of people visiting fitness centers or health. However, these conditions further Griesel usually does not last long.
To maintain a healthy spirit is maintained throughout the year 2012, Griesels share seven simple steps that can be used as guidelines to stay healthy in the new year:
• Create a plan to remove the fat rather than body weight
Most people go on a diet is always focused on weight loss, resulting in loss of body mass or lean body mass (LBM). LBM loss can significantly reduce the basal metabolic rate (BMR).
• Drink more water
Most people are chronically dehydrated, especially when just waking up. Many assumptions are wrong and say that the thirst for hunger, and we drink only when at dinner only. In fact, you should always drink a large glass of water immediately after you wake up, and every time you feel hungry, before eating anything.
• More active
Sitting for long periods of time can be harmful to health. Never sit for more than an hour at a time, and always looking for ways to increase your daily activity.
• Build and strengthen muscles
Increased muscle mass will be impacted directly on the increased basal metabolic rate or BMR. BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate) is the minimum caloric requirement needed someone just to sustain life. To build muscle you do not have to go to the gym. Do simple exercises such as push-ups, pull-ups, and squats for 3-5 times per day. Consistency is the key.
• Start improving your diet
Replace processed foods, processing, packaging, and fast food in your current diet with fresh and natural foods like fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, eggs, fish, and meat. Changes in diet will dramatically improve health and body composition. Drink more water instead of soda or sports drinks (sports drinks).
• Get a quality night's sleep time
Everyone needs adequate sleep time and quality to increase energy and optimal health. You must set hours of sleep and as much as possible to avoid caffeine, alcohol, or a TV that can disturb sleep.
• Controlling stress
Stress is the most common condition that almost everyone had experienced. Stress in the long term could have serious consequences on our health. To fix this, you can do meditation. Meditation is a practice that involves the release of relaxing the mind of all things interesting, overburden, or worry about in our daily lives.
