Taking good care of your physical and mental health can be a great challenge for anyone. There
are certain things you must consider if you want to maintain good health long term and live with
more energy and vitality. Proper diet and exercise are the first things to consider however one
must not forget the importance of learning to manage mental stress. Here are some simple tips by
Jim Kenton anyone can follow to attain better levels of health and fitness:
Tip 1: Eat more whole foods
It can be very difficult for most people to completely avoid processed and junk foods however do
your best to minimize your consumption of these. Also most restaurants and fast food places
have a healthy choices menu option so go for that once in a while as it is usually better in
nutritional value than the other items on the menu. Bring a packed lunch to work whenever you
can and use whole food ingredients that you cooked yourself that are free from preservatives and
other chemicals that most processed foods come with.
Tip 2: Exercise properly
There is no doubt that exercise is critical in order to maintain optimal health. You need both
cardiovascular and aerobic exercise in order to burn calories effectively and keep good muscle
mass which is essential to maintain strength levels. Aerobic exercise can be done many ways
including joining a gym, taking a one hour walk or using a treadmill or bike at home. It is always
a good idea to have some fitness equipment at home as this will make it very easy and
convenient to exercise which makes it more likely you will stick with it and see better results.
Weight training helps to build and maintain muscle mass, keep in mind that muscles are very
effective at burning calories constantly so even women should weight train to add some muscle
so that they can maintain a healthy weight for as long as possible. If you have never trained with
weights before then it is important that you consider taking a few personal training sessions at a
local gym to familiarize yourself with the exercises and the equipment so as to avoid
unnecessary injury.
Tip 3: Manage Stress
Mental stress can also affect your overall health in a very negative way. Your mind can release
chemicals into your body based on how you think and if you constantly worry or are always
angry then your mind will release potentially harmful chemicals into your system.
Learn to control your mind through meditation and calm your thoughts as this will provide you
with great stress relief and will also help you solve problems in your life faster as a calm mind
can often see solutions more quickly than if you are worrying too much and have a ton of
thoughts racing through your head. There are many ways to learn meditation, the simplest
approach is to just get a book or take a local yoga class. Make it a habit to spend some time each

2. day doing some meditation and apply the principles you learn even when you are not meditating.
