1. Park farther away more often. Just include parking farther away in your health plan. You'll save gas and lose fat! Sounds like a win/win.
2. Eat less food. Given the rising cost of food, the famines occurring all over the world and obesity now being the Number 1 health concern in the US, it seems timely to begin--or continue--eating less.
3. Pay closer attention. Just for a minute, pay attention to what's happening inside and around you, listening to your heartbeat or your breathing. Practicing this type of attention will help you know how hungry/full you are all the time.
4. Begin the habit of getting enough sleep and rest. New research indicates that a frequent precursor to many types of cancer is sleep deprivation. Just one more reason to turn off the TV and computer and hit the hay!
5. Stop mindless munching by only eating when food is on a plate or in a single-serving container. It can be shocking to realize how much food many of us really eat. Be more mindful and you'll lose weight and save money, too!
6. Stand up a little taller. Bad posture weakens your core and abdominal muscles, potentially giving you a belly pooch.
7. Try a new, healthy recipe. The Internet is full of great recipes. Trying one will help you get healthy and maybe help you enjoy cooking--which can save you money.
8. Clean out the fridge. In many states you can now dump old food in the yard waste bin to be composted. In any case, get rid of the old and/or unhealthy food today.
