Seven Tips For A Long And Healthy Life & Eight Reason To Lose Weight NowAdamaSow20
Seven Tips For A Long And Healthy Life
As good as modern medical
technology is, it can never save you
from the problems caused by a life
a style that is unhealthy. Instead of
getting a modern medical fix for every
the problem, it is far better to live in such
a way that you will hardly ever fall ill.
An ounce of prevention is certainly better than a pound of cure. Here are
seven tips on how to live a long and
healthy life. In addition, the same life
a style that helps you to avoid illness
also helps you to lose weight.
Eight Reason To Lose Weight Now
Obesity is the second leading cause of death after smoking. It is associated with an increased mortality rate of all ages including children. Losing weight though commercialized is still to your benefit if you carry more weight than you should.
Obesity and overweight are terms often used interchangeably. However,
technically they refer to two different states.
Being overweight technically means
excess body mass. This includes all the
body tissues. Obesity on the other
hand refers explicitly to excess body fat
e.g. a professional heavyweight body
builder is overweight because of
excess muscles but is not obese.
Obesity is what should concern you.
Losing weight is no longer an issue you
can afford to procrastinate, and
probably a good health scare is in
order.
Research has shown that strengthening
exercises are both safe and effective for women and men of all ages, including
those who are not in perfect health. In fact, people with health concerns—including
heart disease or arthritis—often benefit the most from an exercise program that
includes lifting weights a few times each week.
Strength training, particularly in conjunction with regular aerobic exercise,
can also have a profound impact on a person's mental and emotional health.

provide principles and guidelines that help you adopt pos-
itive lifestyles. The labs provide experiences for learning
behavioral skills needed to maintain these lifestyles.
A personal philosophy that emphasizes health can
lead to behaviors that promote it. The H in HELP
stands for health. One theory that has been extensively
tested indicates that people who believe in the benefits
of healthy lifestyles are more likely to engage in healthy
behaviors. The theory also suggests that people who state
intentions to put their beliefs into action are likely to
adopt behaviors that lead to health, wellness, and fitness.
Everyone can benefit from healthy lifestyles. The E
in HELP stands for everyone. Anyone can change a behav-
ior or lifestyle. Nevertheless, many adults feel ineffective
in making lifestyle changes. Physical activity is not just for
athletes—it is for all people. Eating well is not just for other
people—you can do it, too. All people can learn stress-
management techniques and practice healthy lifestyles.
Healthy behaviors are most effective when
practiced for a lifetime. The L in HELP stands for
lifetime. Young people sometimes feel immortal because
the harmful effects of unhealthy lifestyles are often not
immediate. As we grow older, we begin to realize that
unhealthy lifestyles have cumulative negative effects. Start-

his year, 2020, will be remembered, unfortunately, as the year of this horrific pandemic, which has seen over 50 million worldwide cases, and over 10 million cases in the United States, as well as about a million deaths, throughout the world, and nearly 250, 000 fatalities, in this nation.
