Decide to Get Healthy and Enjoy the Benefits
Lifestyle Changes That Bring Big Results
If your health and happiness depended on just 6 lifestyle changes, would you make them? If there was a list of adjustments yielding big health results, would you tackle one a week, or more?
Let's take a look at the most effective lifestyle changes that offer the most immediate results. Many of these you have probably already completed successfully, but in case you have not, now is the time to decide and do it.
These Offer the Most Immediate Inner Health Rewards
1. Stop smoking cigarettes
2. Quit drinking alcohol
3. Quit taking prescription and recreational drugs
Quitting these 3, any way that you can (using a program of your choice) are the most important to your overall long-term health and happiness. They alter brain function, speech, and coordination which is not healthy, safe, nor attractive.
Smoking cigarettes, drinking alcohol, and taking drugs are also responsible for severe wrinkling, and are directly related to chronic heart, liver, lung and gum diseases. The unsightly appearance of these corresponding disease symptoms is not at all sexy.
These Offer Immediate Inner and Outer Health Rewards
4. Lose that extra 20 to 50 pounds, and get to your healthy weight quickly
5. Eat fruits, vegetables, whole grains, beans, eggs, nuts, and dairy
6. Exercise no less than 5 times a week, do aerobics, and use hand weights
Losing that extra weight by eating and exercising as instructed above will make you look and feel better, as coached in the guidebook "ABC's of Nutritious Cooking & Living a Healthier Lifestyle." Your skin, hair, nails, and smile will respond immediately, while your muscles should show signs of toning within 2 weeks to 1 month.
Just as soon as you hit your ideal weight, you will need to buy a new wardrobe, or alter your existing clothes to fit. Add reinforcing changes such as hair coloring or highlighting, having your teeth professionally whitened, or painting your nails will help you keep the weight off.
If you can change just these 6 things in your life, you will begin to experience the benefits of true health. Those benefits are feeling better, healthier, and happier, while appearing more youthful. Do this for yourself and your family, just as I did.
