Key Takeaways
1. Many people may take the approach that they can have a decent
diet but not exercise often, however, this isn't an ideal plan for proper health. "Eat like a pig and run like a horse," means that if you eat a mediocre diet, then you better run like a horse, because movement and exercise are more important in our overall health than our food intake.
2. Sedentary lifestyles are easily made by our TVs and other devices. Having a routine, especially daily, will help break that pattern and encourage better exercise habits. Anastacia runs four miles a day, but she didn't get that magic number from anywhere, it just felt right. Finding
an activity that fits with your preferences will help build that routine.
3. Diet fads are always trending, from vegan to keto to paleo and so on. But, there is no right answer, especially when there isn't going to be a one-size-fits-all. Finding a balance with proper nutrients that
fit your body and activities is the best solution.
