Starting a Healthy Lifestyle

If you would like to kick start a healthy lifestyle but have no idea where to start, you wouldn't be the only one. The ideal healthy person does not smoke, eats a well balanced and highly nutritional diet, drinks alcohol moderately and takes exercise for at least 30 minutes each day. How many of us can say that is a true reflection of their lifestyle?

There are many changes you can make but the most important thing you can do is to plan them and then make the changes gradually. This means you're more likely to stick to it rather than shocking your system completely - after all old habits die hard!

When it comes to eating a health balanced diet you should keep it simple and opt not to cut out any food groups or foods. Just balance the amount you eat and eat a wide variety from every group. This includes your fruit and vegetables, carbohydrates and protein. The first group should make up a good third of your food intake and you should opt for them first when thinking of a snack. Another third should be pasta, potatoes, bread and rice. Eat dairy in moderation and choose good sources of protein in fish, eggs, beans and lean meats.
