If you were to take a poll of the fifty people who are closest in proximity to you right at this very minute in regards to health by asking them if they want to be fitter or healthier overall, the majority of those people would probably say that yes, they would like to live a healthier lifestyle. Being a healthier person is not something that can happen over night. It obviously takes a lot of effort and work to change your lifestyle. Not only are your eating habits important to consider, but exercise is also a factor that should be taken into consideration as well.
As you very well know, when you eat you are consuming calories. The amount of calories your body requires varies based on many factors. One pound is equivalent to 3,500 calories. So if you wanted to lose weight, you would subtract 500 calories from your daily caloric requirement. You can do this by eating a healthier and leaner diet with fewer calories, or by exercise. It is typical that the best results come from integrating both a healthier diet and more exercise into your daily life.
You might be shocked to find out how many calories are in the things that you consume often. For example in one can of Coke, there are 142 calories. That amount of calories would take 14 minutes of running to burn. Learn more about eating and burning calories from the infographic below.
