10 Small Steps To Improve Your Health

10 September 2020

Many of us make health related resolutions­ such as to lose weight,­ stop smoking or join the neighbourhood health club. While it is common to set high goals,­ experts say that setting smaller goals could do more for our health.

 

Small steps are achievable and are easier to manage into your daily routine­ says

James O.Hill­ Ph. D. Director of the Centre for Human Nutrition at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Centre. They are less overwhelming than a big­ sudden change.

Here are 10 to try-:

 

1. Keep an eye on your weight and work on making sure you are not gaining extra lbs. Even if you gain just a pound or two every year­ the extra weight adds up quickly.

 

2. Take more small steps. Use a pedometer to count your daily steps· then add 2­000­ the equivalent of one extra mile. Keep adding steps­ 1­000 to 2­000 each month or so­ until you take 10­000 steps on most day. 

 

 3. Eat breakfast. Breakfast eaters tend to weigh less and have better diets overall.  For a filling and nutrition packed breakfast­ top Whole Grain Museli with fresh fruit slices and your choice of organic plant milk.

 

 4. Switch your grain servings each day to wholegrain.  

5. Have at least one green salad every day. 

 

6.  Use a nonstick pan with only a dab of oil or butter.

 

7. Consider calcium by including two or three daily servings from plants, such as nuts and by increasing your greens.

 

8. Downsize. The smaller the bag­ bottle or bowl­ the less you will eat.

 

9.  Lose just up to 10 percent of your current weight.  The health benefits are huge, lowered blood pressure,­ blood sugar,­ cholesterol and triglycerides.

 

10. Keep track of your eating. Write down what you eat over the next couple of days and look for problem spots. Often­ just writing things down can help you eat less.
