Most of us would like to stay as healthy as
possible. And a lot of us would probably like to
do so without having to do much about it at all!
Is it possible to get a little healthier while
staying just as lazy as you have always been
when it comes to health?
With the simple tricks outlined in this article, it might just be
possible for you to stay as healthy as possible while not having to
worry too much about your usual lazy habits. Sometimes the path of
least resistance is the best path!
!! Steps !!
_ Hit the snooze button. Getting plenty of sleep
boosts your immune system, reduces your risk of high blood pressure,
heart disease and diabetes. Plenty of sleep also helps to keep down
your weight, And adequate sleep improves your daily mood, making sure
you're taking care of your mental health as well.
* Be sure to get a decent amount of sleep every night, at least
between 6–8 hours worth. If you're experiencing sleeping
problems, read How to sleep better for more information.
Do your unavoidable errands and chores early.
Raising your metabolic rate early in the day
means that it will remain elevated even when
you're at rest.[1]
* Since exercise actually increases your
energy levels, you might be more likely to keep moving. You might
even be tempted to clean up your messy room.
* Do squats or lunges while brushing your teeth. Twice a day
brushing is a good excuse to while away the minutes to melt away
the thunder thighs through squats and lunges, while the teeth get
cleaner by the moment.
* Walk backwards. It may look foolish, but if
you walk backwards for a part of your day, you'll burn up to 190
percent more calories than walking forward the same distance. This
is because it's a lot harder than walking forward and requires
more concentration.[2]
Avoid being a human vacuum at mealtimes.
Forget what you were told about finishing
everything on your plate; be choosy and eat
well instead. Leave the fatty, inefficient
calorie-laden food and focus on eating the
healthy stuff with top nutrition for each
calorie instead.
* Don't starve yourself. Munch an apple, eat a
salad, or have a bowl of low calorie soup before the main course.
This will help to ensure that you feel fuller, so that you're
likely to eat fewer overall calories.
* Snack throughout the day. Having snacks revs your metabolism, and
makes you less likely to overeat when you sit down to a full meal.
* Eat a little of each food from each food group and a lot from the
fruit and vegetable group.
Hang out with friends. Making social
connections helps to maintain the brain's
serotonin levels. This enhances your mood and
can possibly even stave off depression. And who
else but friends will force you to visit the
doctor now and then?!
* If you don't have any friends, make some friends online. In doing
so, you won't have to leave your house and expose your skin to the
sun's damaging rays.
* If you do head outdoors with friends, bear in mind that the recent
research on needing more vitamin D does not_ justify standing in
the sun in the middle of the day burning yourself; keep using
sunscreen.
* Get back on that couch. Turn on a comedy
instead of drama – you'll burn up to 20 percent more calories
while watching TV! No ambition necessary!

!! Tips !!
* Eating spicy foods can help you lose weight by raising your
metabolism. Add a tablespoon of chopped chili peppers to your meal
will temporarily boost your metabolism by as much as 23 percent.
!! Warnings !!
* Always consult your doctor for medical advice and information.
