Tell
me, does this describe you? 'I tried a zillion
diets in
fits and starts and was never successful.' Just
going on a diet
will not give you a complete healthy persona. I
finally paid
attention to what everybody was saying, but I was
too lazy to
do.
I added exercise and fitness to the equation. We
also need to
stay fit as well as diet to lose weight. Our true
wealth is our
health. Isn't it worth your time bring it into
peak condition
and maintain it? Diet fitness is all about an
accurate mix of
diet and an appropriate fitness program.
This basically includes three levels of
consideration:
1. Balance-A balanced diet must contain
carbohydrate, protein,
fat, vitamin, mineral salts and fiber in well
proportionate
quantity. Carbohydrates are the source of energy
so these play
an important role in balanced diet. Intentional
inclusion of all
foods from fruits to vegetables and meats to
grains.
2. Moderation- portion control, small quantity at
regular
intervals. I had to laugh when I heard the results
of a 5-year
study costing millions of dollars the government
ran to find out
why the population of the US is getting heavier.
The
results…they determined we eat larger
quantities! 'Super Size
it!'
3. Variation - wide variety in foods,means higher
chances of
complete nutrition. And variety in your workout
routine means a
greter chance of sustaining it.
It is a well-known fact that poor diet leads to
diseases, like
obesity, even cancer and heart disease. The link
between diet
and physical fitness has well been established and
recognized as
a science in itself. It's the basis of dynamic and
creative
intellectual activity. How do you balance diet and
fitness?
What changes in your diet and fitness regimes will
prove to be
the most beneficial ones?
These questions may have been on your mind for a
long time but
you didn't know where to start. I let the
paralysis of analysis
prevent me from getting started for a long time. I
wanted the
'perfect' fitness plan. My advice? Just get
started anywhere,
but get started. There are the solutions at your
doorstep. First
and foremost, you need to ensure that the diet you
are on,
supplies you enough strength and energy to carry
out the fitness
training which means:
The basic fitness diet should:
1. Have a wide variety of foods-- wholegrain
breads and cereals
for vitamins and minerals, leafy green vegetables
for iron
fueling, fruit for adequate fiber, lean meat and
Fish (lowers
cholesterol and helps prevent cancer) and low fat
dairy
products.
2. Enable you to have optimal weight and energy to
carry out
daily activities with ease.
3. Enhance quick and complete recovery during
exercise.
4. Supply enough fluids to have maximum hydration.
5. Provide
both short and long term benefits and ease of
maintenance.
When the above criterion is satisfied, you can
confirm that you
are on a diet that is not starving you or running
you the risk
of malnutrition and weakness. Fitness programs can
include not
only basic gymnasium but modern techniques like
dancing,
aerobics and yoga for variety and fun. If it is
enjoyable it
will be easier to maintain.
Make no mistake about it, fitness regimes help you
speed up the
process of loosing weight along with the diet.
That is the key,
the magic diet accelerator. So eat healthy,
exercise and be wise!
