YOU CAN BEAT YOUR SEDENTARY LIFE STYLE TO STAY FIT AND HEALTHY

We are in an era where technology determines our choices, our preferences and our lifestyle  In other words technology has become part and parcel of our lives The remote controlled devices, elevators and cars may have made our life easy but have created few lifestyle issues as well. The sedentary lifestyle at work and after work has created issues and unhealthy options.  

From the seat of vehicle to the office chair and returning to the couch at home means prolonged sitting and very little displacement daily and the medical experts say it is too insufficient to keep you healthy and may risk to diabetes  and other lifestyle diseases like hypertension. Doctors say that in such cases energy expenditure is negligible and all carbohydrates consumed starts to transform into fat and get deposited all over. This in turn causes resistance to insulin in the body. Hypertension is one of the most common lifestyle diseases the working professionals are facing.

But what I am going to emphasize is that with our conscious efforts it is still possible to live healthy. We can get back to our healthy lifestyle while reaping benefits of technology. It will require some judicious changes in our attitudes towards our life. 



Simply pick up some healthy tips to stay active and fit! 

Change Your Attitude

These tips are very simple and is related to small changes in your attitude, your diet and a few regular simple physical activities.  

Suppose you start taking steps instead of lifts; making a simple habit of some walking daily; a little stroll after your daily dinner; avoiding continuous sitting in office chair and at home are some changes in your daily attitude which will make you feel healthy.

Keep a Tab on Weight

The second tip I am giving is regarding your body weight. I shall suggest that you regularly check your body weight. Increased body weight is responsible for many body related problems. Your body wt is related to your Body Mass Index(BMI). You can calculate your BMI from a simple formula given below-
                  
1-Take. Your wt in kgs;   
2-Take your height in Mts;
3 - BMI = Weight in Kgs./Height in Meters2

Ideal BMI should be 21 to 22. Your body wt should not go beyond 10 percent more in ideal case. Beyond that it is obese. So always try to control your body wt to remain healthy.

Right Diet

My third tip is regular healthy diet combined with regular physical activity and keeping away from unhealthy habits like smoking and consuming alcohol. First of all I shall talk about your diet   A well balanced nutritious diet should be your choice. Diets high in fats and sugar are not good for your health. We must take combination of fruits, leafy and green vegetables. We must avoid red meat. Chicken and fish are good for health. Always try to keep sugar intake to minimum.  Also remember that your health and body shape  depends upon digestion of your food One cannot benefit from the nutrients in the food if they are not fully broken down. So by learning to eat properly one can ensure that our body maximizes the energy and vitamins it gets from food. 
To achieve this i am producing 11 tips for your guidance-
