Reading – Three tips for a healthier life (1)

(Move around more – sit less)

Use the stairs at home or at work, not the lift. Walking is a great form of exercise. Did
you know that people who walk their dogs for 20 minutes a day five times a week can
lose seven kilos in one year? There's a lot of exercise that you can do at home too. Buy
a mat and try yoga. It helps you feel and sleep better. Go online and look for videos on
exercising at home that you can do on your mat.
(Change the way you eat in restaurants)
Studies show that if you drink a full glass of water before a meal or if you start your
meal with soup, you eat less. Water makes you feel full and helps with digestion. Leave
one third of your main course and ask the waiter or waitress to put it in a box for you so
you can have it next day. Have a glass of fresh orange juice for dessert. A side salad or
boiled potatoes are healthier than chips.
(Think about things, not results)
Instead of saying 'I want to be slimmer', tell yourself 'I'm going to go jogging twice a
week'. You can also write one goal on a piece of paper just before you go to bed and put
it next to your pillow. For example, write 'Tomorrow I'm going to eat three pieces of
fruit' so you can read it when you wake up in the morning.
