If I am Careful With What I Eat

If I am careful with what I eat, I do not need to exercise

False: people who attempt to lose weight without exercising usually reach a plateau. Exercising helps people achieve and maintain a healthy weight. Also, consistent exercise also helps to lower a person’s set point weight. For most people, the exercise recommendation is 30 to 60 minutes a day of moderate aerobic exercise and Strength training about two or three times per week. Please check with your doctor before embarking upon any exercise routine.

Exercise is effective when it is a lifetime habit, and not something temporary. Incorporating exercise into a daily routine much like brushing your teeth like brushing your teeth is part of your daily routine, is an essential part of the process of maintaining a healthy weight and body for a lifetime.

health is a combination of eating right, exercise, the right mind set. Health is a combination of mind, body and spirit.
