Best regards, Irina and Igor

We decided that, of course, it is necessary to lead a healthy and active lifestyle. The very awareness of this fact is already good, but, unfortunately, without practical action any good idea remains just an idea. In this article I want to talk about where to start leading a healthy lifestyle.

No matter how surprising it may be to hear, there are many people in the world who know that they need to take care of their health, they know what needs to be done for this, but they have absolutely no idea how to approach this matter. A healthy lifestyle is now a trend, you can easily see this by going to a newsstand or turning on the TV on a weekend morning. Another thing is that a trend remains a trend, but in fact, on a large scale, few people are now popularizing physical education, sports and proper nutrition.

And a person who wants to start leading a healthy lifestyle is simply lost: where to start? There are so many techniques around that promise to give you steel muscles, a firm butt or six-pack abs in five minutes a day. Crossfit, zumba, street workout, nutrition, callanetics, yoga, qigong, P90X, taibo - your eyes run wild.

Of course, the easiest way is to go and buy or download a training course or book, fortunately there is a lot of this stuff on the Internet. Work out, and if you like it, work out some more. Then quit because you're tired of it. An even simpler, but more expensive way is to go to a fitness club, pay individual sessions with the coach and do everything he says.

Unfortunately, this is also not the most Right way. Firstly, very often trainers in clubs start pushing you around the gym, without giving you even half of the loads that are needed to “shatter” your body. Secondly, working out for an hour in the gym, even every day, will not make you healthy if the rest of the time you sit at the computer and crack bread and cookies. I wrote about the uselessness of such hour-long exercises from a health point of view in an article, read it if you want a correct understanding to arise.

What do you need to start leading a healthy lifestyle?

In order to stay healthy, from my point of view, you need to follow five principles:

Move actively
Eat healthy
Cleanse and strengthen your body
Cultivate healthy thinking and develop willpower
Strive to gain new knowledge about your health

As you can see, the above example with a coach only partially meets principle No. 1, and does not affect the other principles at all. Accordingly, you will not become healthier from such training. Girls who go on a diet in order to become slim and get sick less, but refuse training and conditioning, are just as mistaken, although, with due diligence, they can make some positive changes to their figure.

So, you have decided to take care of your health and want to start leading a healthy lifestyle. Without going into training systems without having to worry about choosing one best technique, you can lay a solid foundation now. With this foundation, you won't doubt what you're doing right or wrong, and you'll be able to choose what you enjoy doing and focus your efforts on that. I will not dwell on each of these points in detail, but I promise to analyze them in detail in the following articles (if I have not already discussed them in the previous ones - as the articles are published, the links will be updated!).

Active movement is the first thing you need to start leading a healthy lifestyle.

Voltaire once said a phrase that many years later became the motto of all athletes and athletes:

Movement is life!

Indeed, many philosophers, scientists and doctors since antiquity have recognized that man is created for movement, and the more he moves, the longer and happier he will live. Nowadays, when a computer with the Internet has become best friend and a human assistant, you can work, communicate and have fun without leaving the table or the sofa. Meanwhile, as discussed in detail in the last article, inactivity makes us weak and sick. The best way to start living a healthy lifestyle is to start moving more. But how to do that?

Start doing morning exercises. A regular exercise, consisting of swinging arms and legs, jumping, bending, lasts only ten to fifteen minutes, energizes, kneads and stretches muscles that are stiff and sluggish after sleep, preparing them for the day's stress, accelerates the blood, which allows you to saturate all the organs and tissues of the body oxygen. It is very important that exercise brings joy. Open the curtains to fill the room with light, turn on your favorite music, in general, do everything to make you have fun. And it’s great if you do exercises not only in the morning, but also in the evening, just don’t do it before bed - you’ll have trouble sleeping.
Devote part of your day to exercise. These are just the aforementioned workouts in the gym, or cardio training, yoga, gymnastics, etc. Let this be the main part of your activity during the day - you should make the most of this time. Most importantly, do not forget that when intensive loads You need to give your muscles a rest for a day or two. However, it all depends on your body.
During the day, avoid simple sedentary ways of doing something if you can do it “actively.” Instead of the elevator, take the stairs. If you go to public transport, get off at the stop earlier and walk part of the way. Go for a walk at lunchtime or in the evening. If you have a sedentary job, get up from time to time and walk around, do a few squats or push-ups where no one can see you. If you can drag something, lift it, help carry it, do it. Look for any reason to move. Don’t be surprised, but if you walk all day without bothering with anything else, you still get a big plus in terms of activity. I conducted an experiment where I described how I doubled my activity during the day without training or jogging.
Spend actively free time. Find an active hobby, play sports. Rollerblade, run, swim. – hiking, playing football, badminton, table tennis. In winter - skis and skates. Don't sit at home in front of the computer or TV when there are so many opportunities to move around.
Go jogging. Just give yourself regular runs and marathons. There is one limitation here - if you have excess weight or you are an elderly person, then jogging should be treated with caution. Consult your doctor; you may be advised not to run, but to walk or swim.

Proper nutrition

In theory, eating healthy is not difficult. It is known that things that are not recommended to be eaten are definitely beneficial for the body. There are a number of controversial products. It would seem that you create a menu based on available data on the benefits of a particular dish, and eat to your heart’s content. The problem is that very often there is not enough willpower to force yourself to change your usual unhealthy (and for the vast majority of Russians this is exactly what it is) diet to a healthy one. However, this is a separate topic - how to force yourself to eat healthy instead of harmful.

Everything related to healthy eating can be easily summarized in one simple rule:

You can eat natural foods, that is, things that either grew on the ground or moved on the ground.

These are fruits, vegetables, berries, nuts, meat, fish, seafood, dairy products, eggs and so on. Currently underway various studies trying to prove or disprove the benefits of some of the above products, but in general natural food is much better fuel for your body than unnatural. Therefore, get started, and later you will figure out for yourself how useful and healthy bread, meat or milk is for you.

And, conversely, you need to minimize the consumption of artificial foods, as well as natural products containing artificial chemical additives.

These are semi-finished products, carbonated drinks, all kinds of chemical curds and yoghurts, synthetic juices, sausages and sausages, mayonnaise and other seasonings, bouillon cubes, ready-made breakfasts, “fast food”, sweet flour, just sweets, and much more.

99% of all additives are used to extend the shelf life of the product, reduce its cost and improve its taste and appearance. This is beneficial to product manufacturers who strive to get maximum profit from sales, but it is completely unprofitable for us, because the body is not adapted to this type of fuel. Try refueling your car sunflower oil instead of gasoline. Will you go far? And we regularly fill up with chemicals and live, losing shape, getting sick and dying.

Some enthusiasts natural nutrition adhere to the following rule: if a product contains more than five components, then it cannot be eaten.

It’s worth adding that drinking alcohol, even if not to drink, but to have fun, is also contrary to a healthy lifestyle, but you already know that. However, this is more relevant to the next section.

Cleansing and strengthening the body

An important step for those who want to start leading a healthy lifestyle is following the rules of hygiene. Here, by hygiene I do not mean the generally accepted “wash your hands before eating”, but taking care of your body and maintaining it normal functioning. Take this as an addition to the rules motor activity and nutrition.

The most important and obvious thing is to give up bad habits. Everyone knows about the dangers of smoking, alcohol and drugs; people even have sayings like “Yesterday I fought a battle with drunkenness, drunkenness won” or “Whoever doesn’t smoke or drink will die healthy”. Cigarettes, beer and vodka are no longer just products that destroy people and bind them to themselves, they are already part of our national culture, unfortunately. And if you want to lead a healthy lifestyle, then you simply must stop smoking and reduce alcohol consumption to a minimum, for example, only on holidays, and even then only a little.
Hardening will bring great benefits to your health. Most people associate hardening with dousing cold water, swimming in an ice hole and walking barefoot in the snow. However, it is not at all necessary to immediately rush into such an extreme, besides, it will not be useful, but harmful for an unprepared body. Start by taking a morning contrast shower and then drying off with a towel. Cold and hot shower is an alternation of cold and warm water, for example, you stand under warm streams for a minute, and then for ten seconds under cold ones. The cycle is repeated several times, and subsequently the time for taking a cold shower increases. Another option is to use the method
Another one useful thing- This therapeutic fasting and posts. There is an opinion that Christian fasts were invented specifically to enable people to cleanse themselves of physical impurity and become purer in both body and soul. Regardless of your attitude towards religion, you can also practice fasting, and believe me, this can give your body a break and an opportunity to recover. Arrange for yourself fast days, during which you will eat the simplest food - bread and vegetables, and if your body is young and strong, then practice one-day fasting- it will not harm you and will only bring benefit.

Development of healthy thinking and strong-willed qualities

Healthy thinking, in my understanding, is an attitude towards the surrounding reality that does not harm health and excludes the emergence of destructive emotions and conditions, such as resentment, anger, pity, stress, and the like.

Starting to lead a healthy lifestyle by strengthening not only your body, but also your thinking is the right step.

Every moment of our lives we are in contact with the people around us, and this contact causes different emotions, both positive and negative. It happens that in some situation we are simply overwhelmed by negative “toxic” emotions that continue to act for several hours and even days. Any such strong emotion negatively affects our physical and spiritual condition, causing us pain and undermining our health.

There are two ways to free yourself from negative emotions - this is cultivation positive emotions and a positive attitude towards the world and the desire for complete refusal from any emotions. The second method has its own truth, but let’s leave it for those who are looking for balance and harmony, consciously refusing the joys of the life around us. If you have just embarked on the path of an active and healthy lifestyle, then choose the first method.

Willpower - no less important assistant in life, and everyone knows that strong-willed and persistent people always achieve greater success than weak and prone to change their minds. A strong will will allow you to stay on the path of a healthy lifestyle and find the strength to overcome all obstacles that arise.

On this site you can find many articles about how to deal with negative emotions, pump up willpower and develop healthy anti-stress thinking.

Gaining new knowledge about health

No amount of practical effort can give you tangible results, either in training, or in diet, or in any other matter, if you do not understand how your body works and how certain of its reactions are justified. Why do push-ups make muscles grow? Why is fat deposited on the waist and hips? Why does heavy weight build strength? big number Does repetition train your heart? Why is it so hard for you to climb to the fifth floor? Why does my side ache after running?

In order to find any answers to emerging questions, as well as draw up action plans yourself and choose what will be useful for you and what will not, you need a good theoretical basis. Of course, health sciences are not yet able to explain many processes and phenomena, and yet there are hundreds of thousands of books and films in the world, thanks to which you will learn a lot about your body and understand how it works. Buy and download books, videos, podcasts, attend seminars, discuss certain issues with friends, colleagues and teachers. There are many social networks and forums on the Internet where you can share your results and discuss everything related to the topic of a healthy lifestyle.

In this article, I have given basic directions on how to live a healthy lifestyle. the main objective my site is to help you with this and take you to the bright side. I would be glad if I could inspire you to have a healthy attitude towards your body and your thoughts.

Active and passive image life

“Since Monday I’ve been leading new life! - you promise yourself. But Monday comes, followed by Tuesday, and nothing changes. There are two main reasons for this:

Lack of motivation (fatigue, health does not allow it, etc.).
You want to change everything at once: instead of watching TV, run 20 kilometers, instead of chops, eat celery, instead of five hours, sleep ten.

The first point is literally treated by visiting a doctor to check what exactly is preventing you from changing your life. Maybe your thyroid hormone levels have increased or, for example, your body lacks B vitamins. Of course, if you simply don’t have the desire to get up and go somewhere, only you yourself can change the situation. But if you have been diagnosed with depression, you may need strong remedies.

The second reason is easier to deal with. Everything needs to be done gradually. It’s not for nothing that scientists have found that it takes three weeks for a person to form a habit. One habit, not a whole healthy lifestyle! So if you solve problems gradually, everything will work out.

How to lead an active lifestyle in the city

For some reason, a healthy life is often associated with running, but if you don’t feel strong enough for morning jogging, you can replace it with walking. Yes, instead of taking the bus 3 km to work, walk them! You need to leave the house a little earlier, but the air in the morning is clean, the sun is shining (at least from behind the clouds), people are smiling more. From all sides - complete benefit.

By the way, it’s easier to develop the habit of walking if you get a fitness bracelet or a simple device that counts steps. You'll be surprised how easy it is to get that 8,000 or 10,000 steps you need just by getting outside more often!

Another option for an active lifestyle is to ride a bicycle or scooter to work, run errands, or visit. IN major cities Bike parking is gaining popularity, where you can rent a two-wheeled friend, and there are more and more parking spaces for your own transport. If you don't have anywhere to store it at home, you can consider purchasing a folding bike. And the scooter can be placed anywhere. As a result, you move quickly, train almost your entire body and do not waste time on “trifles” like working out in the gym.

By the way, about them. For many, this is an excellent solution that does not always come to mind, even if the fitness club is located right in the house. It’s not at all as expensive as it seems; in many centers you can come one time or buy a subscription not for all types of classes and not for a year at once, but, for example, for a month. Of course, regular attendance requires motivation, but it can often be seen right in the mirror.

What about sports?

If you don't like the idea of walking or riding a scooter "uncontrollably", you might want to consider starting a full-time sporty image life.

One of the options is the same fitness club, but not group classes, A Gym with a personal trainer. He will help you create a program depending on your goals (healthy body, losing weight, building muscle mass etc.), and then you just need to exercise, gradually increasing the weight on the machines and the number of approaches.

For those who decide to surprise everyone and run a marathon (or a half-marathon, or at least 5 kilometers), there are running coaches. They will show you how to bend your legs correctly, hold your body, and help you choose the right shoes and places to run.

Another great option active leisure - swimming, which is suitable for literally everyone, even those who have medical card as thick as your hand. Again, it’s best to start with a lesson with a trainer to move correctly in the water and set an interesting goal for yourself.

Whatever you come up with, the main thing is to do it regularly. Then the desire to lie on the couch will arise less often, and this, consider, is almost half of a healthy lifestyle!

Summer is the most favorable time for change. Why not stop putting off self-care? Now is the time to think about a more active lifestyle!
