| Make it a daily challenge to find ways to move your body. Climb stairs instead of using the escalators or elevators. Walk your dog; chase your kids; toss balls with friends, mow the lawn. Anything that moves your body is not only a fitness tool, it's a stress buster. Think 'move' in small dose at a time. It doesn't have to be an hour in the gym or a 45-minute aerobic class or tai chi or kickboxing, but I’m not saying not to, that's great if you're up to it. Thought for the day: Get Moving! 2. Cut Fat Avoid the obvious such as fried foods, burgers and other fatty meats (i.e. Pork, bacon, ham, salami, ribs and sausage). Dairy products such as cheese, cottage cheese, milk and cream should be eaten in low fat versions. Nuts and sandwich meats, mayonnaise, margarine, butter and sauces should be eaten in limited amounts. Most are available in lower fat versions such as substitute butter, fat free cheeses and mayonnaise. Thought for the day: Lean, mean, fat-burning machine…. Then be one! 3. Quit Smoking Ever since 1960 when the Surgeon General announced that smoking was harmful to your health, Americans have been reducing their use of tobacco products that kill. Just recently, we've seen a surge in smoking in adolescents and teens. Warn your children of the false romance or 'tough guy' image of Hollywood smokers. Thought for the day: Give up just one cigarette…. The next one. 4. Reduce Stress Some techniques suggested by experts are to think positive thoughts. Spend about 30 minutes a day doing something you like. Get a massage, a facial or a haircut. Meditate. Count to ten before losing your temper or getting aggravated. Avoid difficult people when possible. Thought for the day: When seeing red, think pink clouds….Then float on them. |
