Lifestyle Changes

HOW MINOR LIFESTYLE CHANGES CAN HAVE A MASSIVE IMPACT ON HEALTH AND LIFE EXPECTANCY

Promising research has recently shown that doing just short bursts of exercise such as HIT (high intensity training) amounting to only 3 minutes a day can have a significant positive impact on your health. HIT training is a form of interval training which exercises your cardiovascular system; alternating short periods of anaerobic exercise with less intense recovery periods. HIT training can easily be incorporated into your daily routine and be done from the comfort of your own living room.

The benefits of HIT training include improved cardiovascular fitness, improved insulin resistance thus reducing your risk of type II diabetes or even helping to treat and reverse type II diabetes, reducing high blood pressure and helping to prevent cardiovascular disease.

And don’t forget, your health and fitness is directly affected by your ability to rest and sleep. Sleep is often not thought about when it comes to health, fitness and well-being but remember that sleep is a necessity and not a luxury! Like your exercise and work-out routine, sleep should not be neglected.
