Hi. Such a long time I haven't update my blog. Thanks to you all for visiting my blog.
Today's article about exercise and right eating proves beneficial.
For some, staying physically fit and healthy is very important, but difficult to maintain at times.
The P.E. department has some tips to stay healthy and happy.
“Getting into shape takes some time, and much effort,” P.E. teacher Denise Silcox stated, “trying to become healthy doesn’t just mean going on a diet, it means changing your whole lifestyle, having it revolve around healthy eating and exercising daily, and it that will help you reach your weight goal.”
Many people begin diets expecting their results to be immediate.
“You can’t just directly jump into a diet, everyone is different so the ways you go about doing it vary,” P.E. teacher Karen Sliwa explained. For some, just going out for a walk with a friend, or maybe taking their dog for a walk is a way to start. Starting with 30 minutes a day and gradually improving from there is definitely the way to go about staying healthy,”
A helpful way of staying on a healthy balanced diet is by following the food pyramid. The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) recommends that people get a certain amount of bread, grain, cereal and pasta which form the base, and adding fruits and vegetables, beans, eggs, lean meat and fish, dairy products, fats and sweets, on a daily basis.
For P.E. teacher Anthony Forelli, he adjusted his eating habits with his bread intake.
“I go about my day the same as any other, but the major thing I changed was my bread intake. I switched to 100% whole wheat bread, and it helped with my weight loss. Everybody’s body responds differently to what you eat and how often you eat, some people burn more calories and some burn less, you just need to find the right diet for you,” he said.
One website, www.mypyramid.gov/mypyramid, can help you determine what your caloric intake should be, it also helps determine how much of each food from the pyramid you should eat depending on your weight, height, and how much you exercise.
According to the National Academy of Science, “you need to have enough calories every day in order for your body to have the nutrients it needs. How many calories that actually amounts to depends on a variety of factors including your age, gender, weight, activity level, whether or not you are a pregnant or breastfeeding woman, whether you have a chronic illness.”
The National Academy of Science recommends the following caloric intake: 1,600 calories - many sedentary women and some older adults, 2,200 calories - children, teenage girls, 2,800 calories - teenage boys, active men and very active women.”
Silcox encourages people to get out and try physical activity like hiking.
“It’s now hiking season in Arizona, with this beautiful weather people can get out there at mountains such as Thunderbird Park, North Mountain, South Mountain, White Tanks, anywhere in Prescott, and also Sedona,” she stated.
Weight loss and staying healthy is a lifestyle change, so whether it starts with going to the gym or keeping a food log, any weight goal is achievable if you set your mind to it, and stick to it.
“Everyone is different, so whatever your goal may be, you can achieve this by getting out there, staying active with at least 30 minutes or more of exercise a day, and whatever it is you’re doing, just get out there and move, move, move,” Sliwa said.
