The medical community tends to focus on physical wellness for improving overall health. Proper nutrition and exercise are two main focal points. Nutrition and exercise are popular targets due to the fact that many Americans focus their efforts on weight loss. Although we try not to use physical appearance as a motivator, weight loss in general can help lead to a reduction in many risk factors. Losing a few pounds through sensible dietary choices and moving toward an active lifestyle can help lower blood pressure, improve cholesterol levels, lower risk for many cancers, lower risk of developing diabetes and lower risk for developing osteoporosis.
Weight loss is often an easy target for a quick-fix method.
Often, we want immediate results and lack the motivation or desire to work for these results. We are attracted to quick-fix exercise gadgets and fad diets that promise immediate results with little or no effort. A healthy wellness approach recommends an active lifestyle and a sensible nutritional plan. All activity counts. Your overall activity level will increase by making simple choices, such as taking the stairs whenever possible or taking the dog for an extra walk.
