If you consider yourself
a lazy person, take a look at these 10 healthy living tips that will help you
improve your well-being, without it feeling like a chore.
Watch TV
and exercise
Relaxing in
front of the TV is a popular pastime of many lazy people, but that’s not to say
you can’t stay active and healthy while
watching your favourite programme. To
improve your fitness in front of the screen, complete a short workout during
each advert break. You could fit in some tricep dips using the end of your
chair, jog on the spot or sprint up and down the stairs. The main rule is to
keep moving as research suggests that even fidgeting while you sit can burn up
to 350 calories per day.
Make ready
meals yourself
Eating a
healthy, balanced diet sounds like a great idea until you get in from a long
day’s work and all of your good intentions suddenly go out of the window. But
rather than reaching for shop bought ready meals which are usually full of fat,
salt and sugar, you could try making your own instead. Next time you are off
work, cook large batches of healthy meals and freeze them. That way you will
have lots of healthy meal choices for the days when you can’t be bothered to
cook.
Include
exercise in your daily routine
One of the
best health tips (and an easy way to increase your levels of physical activity)
is to build exercise into your daily routine. While intense hours spent at the
gym will improve your fitness, research has found that regular daily activity
could be more beneficial to your health. Rather than setting aside a specific
amount of time to exercise, introduce gentle bits of activity throughout your
day. You could get off the bus a stop early to increase your activity levels
and go for a walk on your lunch. These simple changes will make you more active
and have a big impact on your fitness.
Exercise
your brain
If you
really can’t bring yourself to do a physical workout, schedule in some time to
work out an essential muscle in your body, your brain. Your mental well-being
is equally as important as your physical health - and the good news is you can
work this muscle from the comfort of your own couch. According to research,
frequently completing activities that stimulate your mind can reduce your risk of
developing Alzheimer’s. So instead of turning on the TV, read a book, complete
a Sudoku or do a crossword instead.
Savour your
food
When it
comes to eating your meals, being lazy works to your advantage. Slowing down
your eating benefits your digestive system and can help you shed those pounds.
Eating slower allows you to focus on your food and savour every mouthful. It
takes your body 20 minutes to recognise the feeling of fullness, so stretching
out your intake will reduce the risk of overeating. You should try to chew each mouthful of food around 30
times before swallowing it to ensure correct digestion and allow the nutrients
to absorb properly.
Get a pet
Animal
lovers, this one's for you - getting a pet is a great way to improve your
health. Several research studies have found that pet owners have improved
mental and physical health, including lowered stress levels and blood pressure. Getting
yourself a pet dog can also give
you the encouragement to improve your activity levels by taking your furry
friend on regular walks outside.
Dance
For many
people, the very thought of completing an intense workout at the gym is their
worst nightmare. If you have struggled to find a fitness activity that appeals
to you, then try turning a night out into a workout instead. Cutting some
shapes on the dancefloor is a great way to get fit, tone your body and burn
calories. And the best part? Dancing the night away won’t even feel like
exercise.
Order
healthy foods to your door
The health
aisles at the supermarket can sometimes seem a little overwhelming, with so
much choice it can be difficult to know where to start. If this problem is
stopping your healthy eating efforts, then let someone else do the hard work
for you. Many health food stores and farms offer seasonal packages and deliver
them to your doorstep, making it easy to try different healthy foods from the
comfort of your own home.
Get enough
sleep
Being lazy
certainly pays off when it comes to getting enough shut-eye. Research studies have found that getting enough sleep
can reduce stress, boost your memory and help you live longer. While getting
less than five hours sleep per night can result in weight gain, accidents and
an increased risk of heart disease. Clocking up a regular eight hours sleep is
an easy (and lazy) way to boost your healthy living.
Take a
supplement
If sporadic
is a good way to describe your healthy eating habits, then it might be time to
turn to a nutritional supplement. Of course, this is no substitute for a
healthy diet but on the days where your best intentions have disappeared, you
could try a multivitamin. There are even supplements you can take if you think
your diet is lacking in a specific vitamin or mineral. You could also
supplement ‘superfoods’ such as wheatgrass and spirulina into your diet, which
can boost your immune system and give you energy.
