Living a life of health and fitness may seem a huge sacrifice but the rewards are truly immeasurable. Not only will you be able to enjoy your life a little bit longer, you can also live it while looking good and looking younger.One research scientist put it this way :”live twenty years longer,look and feel twenty years younger while doing it”.

You don’t believe us? Here is a rundown of the benefits that healthy living can give. Read on and you may be tempted to leave the dark unhealthy side.

1. Active body Eating the right kinds of food and keeping your body in shape will result to having more energy and that will spill over to your work and your “play” time. People who are active also come across as more capable and more independent. They are also perceived as more approachable, confident and charming.

2. Younger looking People who live healthy are younger looking than those who smoke and drink in excess. This is because chemicals in alcoholic drinks and cigarettes dry up the skin and create a more older appearance. Chemicals in the body also reduce the nutrients that go into the body, thus depriving the body of vitamins and minerals that keep the skin and other organs healthy and functioning.

Being young looking of course gives you a whole set of benefits, from a remarkable love life to success with career and in your social life. After all, whether we admit it or not, appearance do count in a lot of ways and being young looking and attractive can take you places. As shallow as it seems, you will have more friends and more romantic involvements. Everybody loves beautiful people.

3. Clear thinking It is not true that chemicals in alcoholic drinks and cigarettes and drugs can amp up creativity levels. These are actually just short-lived and as studies have shown. People who eat and live healthy are more able to think clearly, to focus on the job at hand and are more dependable when given instructions and their memories are often clear and good.

4. No illness People who live a healthy lifestyle are generally healthier peoples. They are not hampered by problems with their health or appointments with doctors that they have to go to. These people rarely take a leave of absence and when they do, they will often take a vacation and just relax. They don’t take a leave because they are sick.

5. Emotionally-secure Although there really is no direct relationship, people who live a life of health and fitness are happier.This is perhaps because they do not need to rely on chemicals for coping with the hardships that they encounter. Early on, they have developed natural coping strategies that can help them get through the daily grind.

Over half the citizens of the United States are considered overweight. With this weight problem, over 12 million Americans are diagnosed with some form of Heart Disease each year. These are some pretty heartening facts, and they may scare some of you who read this, but there are several ways to fix the first problem, which will ultimately reduce the second. The main source of obesity is caused by the intake of too much Saturated fat, Trans Fat, and Cholesterol.

Diet: Doctors and Dietitians recommend lowering the amounts of “Bad” Fats and Cholesterol by changing your diet to consist mainly of low fat proteins, more fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and reducing your salt intake. Some examples of heart healthy foods are:

Whole wheat flour, whole grain breads, brown rice, and oatmeal as good sources of whole grains.

Of course the list above is only an abbreviated list, there are several others not listed. The most important thing to remember when choosing the right heart healthy foods is to read the label. Most food labels give you all the information you will need to make the right decision. We must also remember moderation in all things. Too much of any foods can cause weight gain.

Exercise: Experts now recommend that for good heart health, all adults accumulate at least 30 minutes or more of moderate-intensity aerobic exercises on most, preferably all, days of the week. This doesn’t mean, however, that you need to jog or swim 30 minutes a day. You also benefit from several shorter periods of physical activity throughout the day. If you don’t have the time or are not ready to go the full 30 minutes all at once, try starting out by walking for 10 minutes a few times a day. Walking is probably the easiest activity to accomplish, without a lot of thought, or equipment.

Heart healthy living doesn’t have to be difficult, and everybody will slip now and then. We just have to remember, if you replace the unhealthy foods with a more heart conscious diet, not only will your body start to show it, but your heart will thank you too.
