What’s the best way to meet the many health challenges of growing old?
Losing weight may be hard, but it’s not rocket science. The goal is simple: burn more calories than you eat. It all comes down to having a healthy diet and getting regular exercise.
Healthy Diet
Almost everyone knows the keys to healthier eating: more fruits and vegetables, less fat, more fiber. Here are some simple tips that can make a big difference. Count The Calories: One pound of body fat is equal to 3,500 calories. So if you eat just 500 calories more than you need a day (the average person needs 1,800 calories), you’ll gain a pound in just a week.
Can The Soda: Drink one less can of soda a day for a year and you’ll consume 52,000 fewer calories, a weight loss of almost 15 pounds!
Eat A Healthy Breakfast: It revs up your metabolism so you’re burning more calories all day. Try a bowl of whole-grain cereal with nonfat milk or fresh fruit and a glass of orange juice.
Regular Exercise If you exercise 30 minutes every day, you can lose more than 12 pounds in a year. Regular exercise also offers a ton of other health benefits, from preventing heart disease and osteoporosis to building muscle tone and flexibility. You’ll also have more energy, sleep more soundly and have less stress.
