Phytochemicals are chemicals contained within plants.
Health and Diet:
Phytochemicals are chemicals contained within plants. Research is showing that phytochemicals aid the body in maintaining health and protect against some forms of heart disease, arthritis and other degenerative diseases. You can find phytochemicals in tomatoes, spinach, oranges, garlic, onions and more. So, eat your fruit and vegetables every day!
Fitness:
What can you do that would improve the quality of your life right now? Think of the things you keep postponing because you are waiting for more money, a different apartment, a new job or because of some other excuse. Are these the real obstacles? What are you waiting for? Focus on one thing that would make you happy and write out a plan that includes a budget and time frame to help you get it.
Health and Diet:
If you find that skim milk tastes too watery, add a tablespoon of non-fat dried milk to each cup. This will provide a thicker, richer taste, and boost the calcium and protein content without increasing the fat!
Fitness:
Take a break from your television for a week. Enjoy the quiet. Pick up a book you've always wanted to read instead of spacing out in front of the tube. How much media do you consume in a day? Try a day without all of it. You may be surprised at how well you survive, and just how nice a little media downtime can be.
Health and Diet:
Trying to lose weight? Don't skip breakfast! Studies show that people who skip breakfast tend to overeat later on in the day. Your metabolism may slow down if you go too long without food. If you skip breakfast, that could mean going up to 14 hours without food (from last night's dinner to today's lunch). So, break the fast. Start the day with a kick-start!
Fitness:
Designate a day each week to leave your car at home. Try hopping public transportation or hitching a ride with friends to give yourself, your car, and the environment a break. Allow yourself to move to your destination in a slightly slower fashion, and think of all the reading, exercising or conversations you can have instead of sitting alone in traffic.
Health and Diet:
Reward yourself! Small changes add up -- and a reinforced habit is more likely to stick! So, go for a non-food reward to celebrate your success. Perhaps a new book, a good movie, a trip to the beach, new clothes or a manicure. Give yourself a special treat each time you reach a small goal. It will give you even more incentive to stay motivated.
Fitness:
For those whose weekly routine involves leaving an apartment to take the elevator to the garage to drive to work and get back into an elevator to go to the 18th hermetically sealed floor of an office building for five days straight, it may be helpful to find some dirt to stand on during the weekends. Try taking up hiking as a weekend sporting activity.
