Simple ways to lose weight

Tweet

A small change to your lifestyle can make a big change in your weight. 1. While sitting at school class or in front of your computer or at work doing paper works, exercise your legs and arms. You can shake them while working (or at least your legs when your hands are occupied). Every ten minutes, stand up and make simple stretchings, these basic stretchings are also good for the health. 2. Less sugar and salt. When drinking coffee, try not to add sugar(and creamer), that way, you'll appreciate the coffee more because you are able to taste it without the interference of sugar. It's also good because coffee is a good source of antioxidant. Sugar can be absorbed from other food so its best not to have it in your cup of coffee. Salt, with regards to losing weight, keeps water in your body. The more salt you intake, the more water the body will be carrying. To lose the water and salt, exercise. The reason why sweat is salty is because the water in our body contains salt. It's also harder to perspire when the body contains too much salt. 3. Prefer food from the kitchen than fast foods. Fast foods often serve fried foods. Fried foods are cooked with a lot of cooking oil. If you have time, its best to eat homemade food rather than fast food. You can also save more money since you do the effort. It's also a form of exercise to cook your own food. Imagine the activities you perform while cooking. Chopping the vegetables and meat, walking around to get the ingredients, stretching your arms to get the seasonings and so on. 4. When you go to work that's up in a high building, it is a form of exercise to walk the stairs. If you work on the fifth floor, you could take the elevator up to third floor and climb the two more floors through the stairs. Or if you're going down, you could walk all the way down. Its easier walking down since gravity is on your side. And walking to work also livens up the brains so you could work more efficiently. 5. If possible, rather than taking the bus, if your work area is reachable through a bike, its best to invest your health with it. Buy a bike and ride it on your way to work and back home. You could save more from your transportation expense and get more time to exercise.
