Becoming a healthier version of yourself might be your main goal. Since this is the top resolution made year after year, you are in good company when it comes to wanting to trim down and firm up. However, before you commit to starting a new eating and exercise regime, there are some things to consider.
A lifestyle change such as this will do more than help you shed extra pounds, and the change may come with side effects you didn't think about. Before committing to a radical shift in the way you eat, take some time to think about these factors.
Impacts on Mental Health
Mental health is linked to many areas of life. It is impacted by your environment and the many elements pressing in on you, demanding your attention and time. Your job can make you feel stressed and anxious if you don't work more hours. Your family might make you feel guilty and sad because you are working those hours.
If you find yourself in a traumatic situation, it too will leave an impression on your mental health. The fact that what you eat can also help or hinder your mental health should not come as a surprise. Some foods contain ingredients known to help produce some chemicals in the body that make you feel good. Likewise, eaten in large proportions, these same foods may negatively affect your mood.
Before diving into a new diet program, take a look at the kind of food you will need to cut out and those you need to increase. The impact on mental health goes beyond chemical changes in the body. The fear of failing another diet may leave you depressed and anxious.
Keep in mind that the brain is resistant to change, which makes it work harder. Since creating new habits means going against those automatic ones the brain already performs, it takes work and perseverance to get these new habits to stick.
Losing Weight vs. Healthy Lifestyle
What you eat is not the only thing that determines how healthy you are. Your body performs at its best when it gets the right food, vitamins and activity level. Le-Vel Thrive Reviews provide an idea of the positive impacts your diet has on the way you feel. Changing your diet will result in a loss of pounds, but making it a lifestyle may take more than that.
When you become active, your body benefits in a few different ways. First, the increase in movement will help rev up your metabolism and result in more pounds loss. Second, the heart becomes stronger the more activity you undertake.
Cardio workouts, such as walking and jogging, can help get your heart to work more efficiently. Finally, the increase in movement will also make you feel better both mentally and physically. Starting any exercise plan slowly helps stave off injuries and illness.
Increase Your Sleeping Hours
Giving your body the proper nutrients and activity are two parts of a successful transition to a healthier lifestyle. Another element you may not consider is increasing the time your body is at rest. The prospect of increasing sleep may sound like a good one, but you may wonder how necessary that is.
Your days are already jammed with obligations, and now with incorporating meal planning and exercising, you may lose even more precious hours. Consider how essential sleep is to your body. It is the only time when your internal organs can concentrate on healing. Your brain works hard while you sleep to repair body systems, boost white and red blood cells and commit the day's events to memory centers.
The less you sleep, the less time the body has time to perform the restorative process. Diet, exercise and sleep all work together to build a stronger body and mind. Before setting off on a new diet and wellness plan, do some research into its impact on your mental and physical health. That way, you can set yourself up for success, health and happiness.
