A poor diet can come with consequenses of major health risks that can cause illness such as; heart disease, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, and certain types of cancer. a. The risk for diseases, like high blood pressure and type 2 diabetes are being seen in younger ages, as a result of unhealthy eating habits and weight gain. Teaching children how to eat healthy at a young age will help them stay healthy throughout their life. b. Good nutrition and healthy weight reduces disease risk, and health is too important to ignore. c. By taking small steps to eat healthy, you will be on your way to getting the nutrients your body needs to stay healthy, strong and active, as well as physical activity. Making changes in your healthy lifestyle can go a long
way. 2. Regular exercise and a healthy diet can lead to so many benefits, including energy, happiness, health and possibly a long life. Making exercise and a diet both part of your life can make a huge difference in how you look and feel. a. "A combination of working out and eating healthy can boost your energy and help you feel more alert both mentally and physically. Healthy foods give your body the nutrients and vitamins it needs to function at its best." b. "Exercise stimulates brain chemicals that help produce feelings of happiness and relaxation, so you will feel better if you workout regularly."
Transition: Now that I have discussed the importance of a healthy diet and exercise, I will now discuss good eating habits and how to turn bad eating habits into good eating habits. B. Switching from bad eating habits to good eating habits can be a lot of work but very well worth it. 1. What you can do to swap bad eating habits for good ones. a. Find a healthy substitute. It will be easier to break a bad habit if you have another to fill its place. Find what works for you, as long as the new habit is a healthy one, you 'll be taking steps to a new and improved you. b. Catch yourself in the act. One way to stop a bad habit, stop and think: "I 'm about to eat something that 's not good for me, is this what I really want?" c. Aim for consistency not perfection. You have to realize that you will have moments of weakness, especially in the beginning and that 's okay, as long as you don 't do it everyday. As time goes by it wil get easier and your cravings will start to go away, not permenatly, you will always crave something sweet but just do it once in awhile. 2. We all get them. We hate them. Those days where you get out of bed and realize that you 're feeling pudgy and bloated. Your jeans feel snug and you tell yourself that none of your clothes are fitting right. I 'm going to teach you how to overcome a "Fat Day." a. Dress in something that makes you feel beautiful. It may be tempting to wear sweat pants and a sweatshirt but make an effort to dress yourself up. This will boost your self-confidence. b. Drink lots of water! Salt is often the reason behind fat days because it makes our body want water and gives us lower belly fat, but by drinking more water, you will help your body flush out the salt. c. Get Moving! Instead of sitting on the couch just watching tv, go run, go dance, go ride your bike, go for a hike, go do something active! This will boost your mood. 3. We always see some type of diet that is supposed to help you lose weight easier and faster such as; Atkins, Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig and etc. The problem with these diets is they require you to cut out the foods that are neccessary on your body. So what is the best diet for weight loss? a. Consume fewer calories. Get a notebook and write down your meals, snacks and drinks and set a goal of calories you want to eat per day. On average a woman should consume 2,000 calories per day and men should consume 2,400 calories, but that is also depending on gender, age, weight, etc. b. Increase exercise. Go for a walk/jog, go bicyciling, go dancing, go to the gym, etc. Do anything phyical that you enjoy. c. You can lose weight without exercising if you give yourself the proper nutrition, meaning all of the food groups. Without a proper diet, exercise alone is not enough to lose weight. Transition: Now that I have discussed good eating habits, how to get rid of bad eating habits and healthy eating, I will discuss phyical activity. C. The best exercise to lose weight is one you will enjoy doing, it is important to stick to it so it becomes part of your daily routine. 1. Losing weight is going to take time and dedication. You must burn more calories than you consume. Exercise will help you lose weight but you also need to watch what you eat. Different types of exercises that will help you lose weight: a. Cardio exercises, traidmill, cross training, bicycling, etc. These exercises will help you burn calories. Do a minimum of 25 minutes per day, 5 days a week. If youu want to do a slower speed you will need to do approxametly 40 minutes. b. Take up classes. You can join a gym or follow a workout video. The best classes to lose weight are boxing, aerobic classes, dance classes and circuit training c. Play a sport is another great way to lose weight and it 's fun and sociable. III. Conclusion A. Review of Main Points: 1. Today I first described the importance of a healthy diet and exercise. 2. Second, I discussed good eating habits, how to turn bad eating habits into good eating habits and just healthy eating in general. 3. Finally, I discussed physical activity. B. Restate Thesis: From an unhealthy lifestyle to a healthy lifestyle, the changes to be made to help you become healthy and fit. C. Closure: In conclusion, we should all eat healthy and exercise as much as we can, so we can live a full and happy life.
