Maintaining Good Health After 30 is Easier Than You May Think
Like many Americans, when I left my twenties and hit the big 3 - 0, I started becoming more concerned about my health.
I noticed that I didn't have the stamina that I used to have and my weight had increased.
This is the case with many people who never were concerned with health issues.
Chances are that you may have worked your way up the ladder from a labor job to a foreman position or maybe you have landed a nice desk job.
At the time you were celebrating the lack of physical labor that you had to perform every day.
Maybe you never were concerned with your weight because you have a high metabolism and could eat anything that you wanted without gaining any weight.
Sadly when you stopped getting that exercise from your job you may not have started exercising to burn your excess calories.
Another thing that you must realize is that your metabolism often drops as your age increases.
The good thing is that you are beginning to realize that your body isn't quite what it used to be, and you can take steps to change that.
One of the first things that you need to consider is your diet.
You may have wolfed down cheese burgers on a hasty lunch break in the past, but now they are catching up to you.
One of the most effective ways to control your diet is to stop eating out.
Fast food and restaurant chains want you to eat there so they make sure their foods delicious.
Unfortunately, it's usually the best tasting things that are the highest in fat and calories.
Try packing your lunch.
That way you can include more healthy things that you wouldn't get when you eat out.
Another thing to consider is cooking at home.
That way you have a better control over the foods that you eat every day.
Another thing to do is try implementing an exercise routine.
It's not as bad as you may think.
Working out 30 minutes to an hour a day can go a long way to burning off those excess calories that go straight to your hips, thighs and stomach.
A simple morning walk or jog before breakfast can work wonders.
There are many other things that you can do to increase your fitness and stop yourself from putting on those extra pounds.
Noticing the issue is a start.
Now it's time to take action!
