I have attended a physical fitness program two months back and now i lost 10 kgs without any food restrictions. Only i have changed my eating habits. I leart some exercises,Yoga and following daily till today after the program.I wanted to share my thoughts, which i gained from the program.People who are looking forward to reduce their weights, keep fit body can follow these tips.

This blog aims to raise awareness among the people about the importance of a healthy lifestyle,maintaining healthy body weight and to equip them with the knowledge and skills to practice healthy lifestyle.

Physical fitness program is the famous program among people now-a-days.

All programs Promoting two components of a healthy life style- Regular Exercise and healthy eating.

The healthy lifestyle means balanced diet and good physical exercise that a sedentary life is an open invitation to overweight,obesity snd related health issues.

Obesity is linked to the so-called lifestyle diseases like type 2 diabetes mellitus,hypertension,obstructive sleep apnea,poor self esteem,heart disease.
One does not have to follow a rigorous exercise programme to be healthy.

Normal health program components are flexibility,strength,dynamic strength,cardio vascular endurance and fat body composition.

Exercises needs to be practiced on a regular basis to be fit and healthy.

some regular tips for a healthy life style are

1. Exercise should be done atleast for 30 mts. Because,Fat does not start burning for first 15 minutes.

2.Exercises to be done atleast for 5-10 minutes to raise heart rates to a cetain level,which is then required to be maintained for another 20-25 minutes for FAT burning effects.

3. With out stretching exercises an exercise program remains incomplete.

4. Weight Training should be included in an exercise programm for atleast twise week.

5.Don't make any food within an hour after exercise as fat burning continues for energy.

6. Drink a lot of water after exercise.

7. Eat Citrus fruits like, oranges,grapefruit Tangerines,lemons and limes contain high concenrtrations of vitamin C(it is called as ascorbic acid),This vitamin C has a fat burning quality.

8.Take whole fruits rather than juice.

9. Fat is not always bad. Only you have to know what type of fat yoou are taking.Liquid fat (monosaturated) is prefereably good.

10. Students and children should not skip their meals.They should try all varieties of food contains vegetables and less starch(carbohydrate)

11.Eat a lot of salad containing tomato,carrot and cucumber before start of food.

12.A Glass of thick DAL (pulse) can also be taken in place of extra starch food (rice/chappati) for good contents of protein and fibre.

13. Don't take food immediately if you are hungry.wait atleast for half an hour.

14. Avoid evening snacks.

15. Avoid taking food frequently in a small portion as advised by many dietitions.Stick to breakfast,lunch and dinner.

16. Breakfast should contain vegetables,like green beans and green peas including an apple but less food rich in carbohydrate.

17. Apple contains pectin which can limit the amount of fat,your cells can absorb.

18. Eat Soyabeans which can boost body's ability to get rid of fat.

19. No food is bad, only its preparation matters.

20. If you eat more calories than you burn off through daily activites,you gain weight.

21. If you eat fewer calories than you burn up, you end losing weight.

22. If you don't find time to exercise or not getting any physical fitness program or trainer, Don't worry-Fast walking for 40 mts/day gives you the same effect. Remember----you should cover atleast 6 kms in 40mts. Then only it will be effective.
