6 Benefits Of Maintaining A Healthy Lifestyle

I never really used to take care of my health as I should have been, I would go for months without exercising, I ate junk food frequently, drank less water and It wasn’t pretty. My skin looked dull and broke out. I was also tired and stressed most of the time.

Eventually I realized that Body size shouldn’t be the core reason to why anyone wants to stay and live a healthy life. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle should be a way of life. 

It has long lasting benefits that will make you have a long and happy life with less visits to the doctor. Here are some of the benefits:

1.Helps maintain a healthy weight

Having a balanced diet and exercising daily helps in maintaining a healthy weight which reduces the risk of having diabetes, hypertension and cardiovascular diseases.

2.Reduces stress

By exercising regularly you will be able to feel energetic active and you will be able to sleep better.

3.Boosts your confidence

Once you start treating your body well by eating a balanced diet, and exercising you will feel good about yourself and hence have a high self-esteem.

4.Disease prevention   

Exercise and a healthy diet reduces the risk of getting major chronic diseases such as coronary heart disease, diabetes or high blood pressure by lowering the cholesterol levels.

5.Improve your fertility levels and chances of a healthy pregnancy.

Smoking is very harmful to an unborn child and also reduces the chances of getting a child. It also harms the people around so it’s better for you to quit smoking.

6.Helps stay and look young

What you feed your body will definitely manifest itself on your skin. Eat a balanced diet with plenty of fruits and vegetables while drinking plenty of water and exercising regularly.

Why Your Fears Never Come to Pass

I am a true daughter of my mother.She worries a lot about anything and everything. The present the future, even the past sometimes.

Before I got a job she was worried that I wouldn’t get one, and now that I have one she is worried that one day I will lose it (God forbid) but as much as bad things are bound to happen good things will happen too(like getting a much better job, or starting my own business).

She always sees the bad in every situation. She says that by expecting the bad, she will get to enjoy the experience of being surprised by the good. I love her to death but I just don’t think that, this is the best approach to life. Here's why: 

1.You will not enjoy the present

Bad times outweigh the good times but if we sit around waiting for the bad times we will never get to enjoy the good times.

2.You can handle it

The future is uncertain, that’s obvious and that is what makes us worry so much about it. But looking back at all the things I was worried about most of them never came to pass and if they did I totally could handle them without breaking a leg.

Why should we always expect the worst, then put ourselves through the trauma, yet at the end of the day it may or may never come to pass?

The worst thing that can happen to anyone is dying, or so I think. We will all die one day and the worst part of it is that we don’t know when. That however, hasn’t  stopped us from chasing our goals and dreams. We struggle every day to make ends meet yet we are not assured of tomorrow.

My point is , that there is no point in worrying about the future . One thing I discovered is that half the things we worry about or are afraid of never come to pass and if they do no matter how difficult we always come out of it.

Take one day at a time,plan about the future but dont worry so much about what is yet to come because you dont know about it. Things might turn out to be even better than you imagined.
