By Merv Carlson


Looking for a more joyful life and also an increase in your lifespan? Want to get the goal without extreme diets and strenuous training? Changing your lifestyle will help. It is no surprise that a balanced diet combined with regular exercise will improve your health and lifespan. Make sure you could control your stress and have time to relax after long hours working. Avoid stress by setting priorities, realistic goals and not putting too much pressure on yourself.

Below we would discuss some easy ways to help you keep a balanced lifestyle:

Choose What To Eat

A balanced diet should be based on whole, natural foods that support your overall health. Junk food, refined sugar, chips and other processed goods increase your risk of diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, and cancer. They also cause addiction and leave you craving for more. To stay healthy, nourish your body with quality foods, such as fresh fruits, green leafy vegetables, nuts, seeds, fish, and whole grains. A balanced diet contains needed nutrition for your body to function properly.

Portion Is Important As Well

Your portion is also important beside what foods you choose for your meal. To keep your body healthy, make sure you listen to it, understand what it needs and eat foods it needs only. Many people still keep the emotional eating habit which means they just eat the foods they love. This is not good. You should enjoy everything in moderation. By doing this, having more energy and staying fit becomes an easier task. Choosing what foods to eat and how much you should eat is important for a better lifestyle.

Exercise Regularly

Exercising should become your new habit. Try to stay active all day. Choose a sporting activity you like and fits your needs such as tennis, jogging, walking, running, swimming, playing football or going to the gym. You can choose to work out at home if you can't arrange time for the gym. Doing these activities keeps your body stay in shape while calming your mind. You do not need to exercise everyday; but make sure you do enough 3 times per week to get the best results. Office workers are those who really need regular exercises since they stay all day in front of the computer. You can do simple exercises by standing up and walking around your office. You can do exercises regularly to your eyes without having to leave the chair.

Relax Whenever You Can

Regardless of how busy you are, take time for the things you love. Focus your energy on what is most important to you, whether it's painting, writing, fitness, or family time. Do some gardening every afternoon is also a great idea. Keep learning new things, take classes, and reassess your priorities once every few months. Maintain a positive attitude and get plenty of rest.
