LIFE CHANGING WAYS TO BOOST YOUR HEALTH Eating the occasional salad is always good, but it’s not exactly going to lead to massive health improvements. If you have distant dreams of being healthier but have no idea where to start, it’s time to stop thinking small. Big changes to your life and your habits aren’t just going to improve your health: they will improve your quality of life too. It can be daunting to make big changes to how we live, and habits and lifestyles can be hard to change. So if you want to go big, it’s going to mean putting some work in. But with the right motivation and a clear set of goals, you can change the way you live and boost your health levels more than you ever imagined possible. Get Moving This might seem like a small step, but it’s one that you can’t overlook. Physical movement is always a good thing for your health levels, especially right now when so many people stay home more than they used to. Don’t panic and assume that you have to hit the gym (that’s coming though). Moving more means just that: move more than you do right now. If you spend hours on the sofa and pay someone to walk your dog, then you’re missing out. If you drive a mile to get to your nearest supermarket, skip the car and walk there instead. Carrying back your weekly shop is a great way to get your heart racing, and that cardio will only help you become fitter. Commit to moving more, and even the most sedentary lifestyle can be transformed.
Change Career This is a big step, but if you’re tired of sitting at a desk or standing behind a bar, then a career change can be an amazing way to boost your health. You’re spoiled for choice too. There are plenty of more physically active careers, so you can choose the one that best suits your goals. You could ditch the office work and head to a swimming pool to become a lifeguard. Or find work as a forest caretaker instead of working retail. However, one of the fastest-growing choices for a healthier career change is to become a personal trainer. You don’t have to be the epitome of health to do this job, as most people who hire personal trainers want someone they can relate to. So even if you’re overweight or over 40, earning the certifications you need to become a personal trainer is well worth the time. And think of all that time you’ll be able to spend in the gym! Get Nourished We all know whether or not we eat healthily. For some of us, a healthy meal at least once a day is a habit that’s hard to break. For others, the day starts with a Red Bull and there are more takeouts than home-cooked meals. While that kind of lifestyle can be fun, it’s not sustainable.
