We love living an unhealthy lifestyle because it needs no effort AT ALL. Eating fatty foods, high dosage of sugar, infinite number of junk foods and the list goes on and on.

Do you get angry when your husband or wife drink a lot or eat unhealthy foods? Look at it this way, think of how hard you can change yourself and you will realize how impossible it is to change others.

Here are 3 serious yet simple tips that can jump start yourself to a healthy lifestyle:

1. Exercise – It’s easier said than done as always. If you don’t have the energy to exercise, procrastination always sinks in. Hey! Walking is also a form of exercise. Walk around the block for a set of time everyday and avoid using your car when going to nearby places. Save the environment and save yourself.

2. Eating habit – This is one of the hardest habits to control. I have to admit I am a slave of this habit. When hunger kicks in, this is where I don’t procrastinate. Avoid dining out and going to eat-all-you-can buffets! That will kill you faster, believe me. Also, drink vitamins everyday.

3. Attitude – believe me or not, this is a serious health factor. When you are always grouchy and unhappy, it will affect your internal organs normal function. I am pretty sure you had experienced being depressed and unable to eat or so mad that you can’t digest your food normally. Well, that is an evidence that it does affect your health.

Even if you are now at the 50th mark, it is not yet too late. Nothing is too late unless life ends. In fact, if you are 50, you are just 10 years away from when your life started!
