Where to start when wanting to make lifestyle changes?

Updated: Jan 9, 2023


Starting a healthy diet and exercise routine can be a great way to improve your overall health and well-being. Here are some tips to help you get started:

  1. Set goals: Determine what you want to achieve with your diet and exercise routine. Do you want to lose weight, improve your cardiovascular health, or just feel more energized? Setting specific, achievable goals can help you stay motivated and on track.

  2. Make a plan: Decide on the types of foods you want to eat and the types of physical activity you want to do. Consider consulting with a healthcare professional or a registered dietitian to help you create a balanced, nutritionally-adequate plan.

  3. Get moving: Incorporate physical activity into your daily routine. This can include activities like walking, running, cycling, swimming, or strength training. Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise per week, or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity exercise.

  4. Eat a variety of foods: Choose a variety of healthy foods, including fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats. Avoid processed and sugary foods as much as possible.

  5. Stay hydrated: Drinking enough water is important for maintaining good health.

  6. Be consistent: Stick to your healthy diet and exercise routine as consistently as possible. Don't get discouraged if you have setbacks – just get back on track as soon as you can.

Remember, making healthy diet and exercise choices is a journey and it may take time to see results. Don't get discouraged and stay motivated!
