Habits of the Leanest People

                                             

We usually take in and observe what we see other people do. Their daily routines, their habits, and their what makes them different than the next person. In a world where obesity rates among children and adults are sky high, there are those that take health and fitness seriously, and we should be trying to copy what keeps them out of those brackets. Read on to see what habits the leanest people possess. 

1. Be active everyday. When you don't stay active, your metabolism slows down and you become slow and sluggish. An idle body leaves room for things to build up and increase your risks for diseases and illnesses that could have been prevented if you would've moved a little more. 
2. Eat breakfast. I have come across people that absolutely hate breakfast and don't realize how it affects the rest of your day. When you eat breakfast, you have more energy, lower cholesterol, and have a higher weight loss rate. You'll be all around more healthier too.
3. Make fitness a priority. Excuses. Cut them out. Just like you will make time to eat something or go somewhere or do an activity, you can make time to get 30 minutes to an hour of exercise. There are times where it may be hard to balance the demands of your life, but there is no other way you can keep yourself fit. 
4. Get enough sleep. When you get 7 to 8 hours of sleep, you cut down on so many health risks, you have increased energy, higher metabolism, and it even helps with the aging process. 
5. Don't worry about other people's weight and make sure they are happy and comfortable. Whatever is a natural, healthy weight for you, that is what you should aim for. Please believe that skinny does not equal healthy. Do what makes you happy and don't be concerned about what everyone else is doing.
6. They believe they can succeed. Improve your attitude and realize that you are responsible for your own happiness. Get negative thoughts and people away from you and be positive. Your mood will stay high, it will contribute to better health and reduce depression.
7. Water is their best friend. This one is just common sense. Knowing that 70% of your body is made up of water, you need to keep it constantly flowing through your body. It may not be the most flavorful thing, but lemons and cucumbers help. 

Instead of thinking " I'll believe it when I see it," think "I'll see it when I believe it."
