Healthy Diet

A healthy outside starts from a healthy inside.
Believe it or not, but this quote greatly summed up the philosophe of fitness. You are what you eat. Healthy diet is the base of fitness. Keeping a diet healthy is not about boycott of some meals. It is about keeping a good balance between what we eat and what nutrition are required to strengthen our body. Importantly, take natural food, don’t rely on artificial food. Food is fuel to human body, intake of good fuel helps to increase the performance of body. Exercise without food is fruitless, it will lead you to starvation.

Eat after every couple of hours. Your body need food and nutrition for working and other activities. You should acquire a healthy diet and healthy routine. Add some beans, pulses, fish, eggs, vegetables, fruits and meat to your diet. Every single thing is essential for your body.

It’s ideal to have a 8-10 hours of sleep not more or lesser than this. Nutritional choices and the things you acquire for your diet affects sleep largely. You need to get natural sleep which should be equal to an average tendency and you don’t need to take any pill for sleeping. Sleep is the indicator of well-being and overall health. There are many interferences in between while we are sleeping these includes alarm, energy drinks, sleeping pills, coffee and external lights. Eradicate the disturbances from your healthy sleep and keep your body healthy.

Make a routine

Organize your life around your dreams, and watch them come true
There is no doubt organizing your self is the key to success. Once you evaluate your exercises, food diet and sleep timings, then stick to that routine. Follow it properly, changing routines and having fun sometimes is acceptable. You need to know and follow the desired routine which leads you maintain a healthy lifestyle and an ideal life. Waking up early, drinking or consuming ample amount of water, setting important things for today, fixing timing for lunch and dinner, exercise properly, run, swim, gym, workout or anything related to health fitness activity. Shower daily or every alternate day. You should do something creative when you’re tired and start working right after waking up from the bed. You need to develop a daily routine and have a healthy breakfast as it keeps you active the entire day. You can observe where you stand and where you want to lead.

Make a routine of eating healthy, sleeping healthy, exercising, having breakfast, waking up early, and prioritizing things which are to be accomplished.  Sleeping early may help you leading a healthy life. You should try to indulge yourself in doing something creative while you feel bore and tired.

Motivation

Don`t stop when you’re tired, stop when you’re done
After all we’re humans and get tired at some point. Only reason is because we are not motivated. Listen music, surround yourself with success stories, idealize your idols, and see your goals. Measure your fitness periodically. It will provide you a sense of accomplishment. Remember things take time to change, you’re on the right path of fitness, be patient. You are your own motivator. Making a habit of reading and going through some success stories, influential quotes and life lessons is a way better option. Motivation leads you towards success. You compare yourself with the input and output of others and you need to have an appreciation, good salary, rewards, and every intrinsic and extrinsic factors which helps you to grow. First step is to be satisfied with yourself and believe in yourself. If you believe in you, you can achieve anything you want to. You definitely need to have reasons for behaving in a certain way. Don’t just watch the clock and do what it does. You need to work hard for achieving your goals.

Eating Habits

You need to focus more on your eating habits. You should observe your eating habit and make yourself stick to a diet plan and act according to it. You should consume more amount of water. First thing you should do is to schedule time for your diet i.e. lunch and dinner. A healthy breakfast should also be a part of the plan. Prepare or eat healthy snacks for keeping yourself healthy and fit. Every body needs food for it to function properly. You might have an eating habit for so long that you don’t even realize how unhealthy they are such as fulfilling your craving at the middle of the night. How are you going to excrete when the food is not properly chewed, went to the stomach. It creates acidity and load towards your heart which may lead to a serious disorder or disease. Always keep healthy snacks with you whenever you feel like you’re little hungry. Your little hunger could easily be fulfilled by a light snack which is again healthy. You should then learn the difference between physical hunger or habitual eating. Create a journal and mark where you stand and how many plans have you accomplished. You are then going to analyze where does your body trigger and which stage of your eating habit should get improved.

Athletic performance

This is a thing which differentiates a couch potato and a fit person who have been following a diet plan and doing workout for staying in shape. A person might love certain foods but still have to give up on those because of some calories and typically a diet plan. The best thing about an athletic body is that they don’t diet. They consume every essential in a limited proportion. You should first listen to your body that what is the need. You should learn the secrets that what makes you energizing and what makes you low. You should focus on consuming a handful amount of calories instead of no calories. This will lead you towards the way of perfect body. Another attribute of an athletic body is that they find joy in exercising. You have to exercise it’s all about your mind. If you feel like you don’t need to exercise and you’re afraid of daily workout then you’re wrong. You need to correct your thinking and make yourself agree that you need to exercise for being fit. This doesn’t mean that you should start running in a rainy day.
