How many times have you gone to sleep at night, swearing youll go to
the gym in the morning, and then changing your mind just eight
hours later because when you get up, you dont feel like exercising?
While this can happen to the best of us, it doesnt mean you should
drop the ball altogether when it comes to staying fit. What people
need to realize is that staying active and eating right are critical for
long-term health and wellness -- and that an ounce of prevention is
worth a pound of cure. The more you know about how your body
responds to your lifestyle choices, the better you can customize a
nutrition and exercise plan that is right for you. When you eat well,
increase your level of physical activity, and exercise at the proper
intensity, you are informing your body that you want to burn a
substantial amount of fuel. This translates to burning fat more
efficiently for energy.
In other words, proper eating habits plus exercise equals fast
metabolism, which, in turn gives you more energy throughout the day
and allows you to do more physical work with less effort.
