SHARC Provides 5 Quick Tips For A Healthier Summer

June 12, 2013 - PRLog -- Being healthy is simpler than we'd like to think.  One can get quite confused by Dr. Oz, Oxygen magazine, and the other newsstand magazines offering to help you lose 18lb in 6 days, all while eating reeses pieces.  Don't buy into it.  Shrewsbury Health and Racquet Club would like to provide you with these simple tips in order to make your summer a healthier and more energetic one.

1. Eat Smart, Not Less

In order to lose fat off our bodies, we need to create a hormonal environment that encourages fat burning and makes us eat less food automatically.

·       Eat these healthy foods: meat, fish, eggs, nuts, seeds, healthy fats, non-starchy vegetables and the occasional fruit.

·       Avoid these unhealthy foods: sugar, grains, vegetable oils, trans fats, artificial sweeteners and other processed products.

2. Pick Things Up & Put Them Down

Abs are made in the kitchen, but supporting your immune system and bone health with resistance training is key to a healthy lifestyle.  Put down the colored weights and move some iron.  Strong is the new skinny.

3. Put The Sports Drinks Where They Belong, On An NBA Bench

Gatorade et al may be good on occasion for guys running and jumping up and down a floor for 48 minutes, but for the average person, sugary drinks do nothing but cause a rush of insulin like a hole blown in the hoover dam.

4. Pack A Cooler

You’re much less likely to stop at the drive through if you bring a snack with you to work.  Nuts, snap peas, or an apple are great examples that you can pack in your car for the day and provide satiety until your next meal.

5. Don’t Fool Yourself

Most people underestimate their calorie intake, and then don’t understand why they can’t lose weight.  Be honest, write things down.  The only person you have to prove anything to is in the mirror.

So you've read these 5 tips; now it is time for you to put them into action. Prove to yourself that small tweaks can make a big difference. Realize your potential and exceed your goals.
