Continuing of a Healthy Life Style

Well, as you all know, we were told to continue writing about what we posted last week. By some of the blogs I read from the English 102 class, it may be hard for some to continue writing. I, on the other hand, will just tell you how I am trying to live a healthy life.
I am actually lucky in the fact that I can not stand to sit on the couch for more then a half hour. I get more then the recommended amount of exercise almost every day. I also do some type of work out most days. Some times it is going for a run, or walking my dog, or going to the gym. But my favorite form of exercise I get would be playing ice hockey.
Besides the exercise, I also maintain a healthy eating style, and no, this does not mean I diet. If a person tries to diet to lose weight, they usually end up quitting the diet because they can not take the temptation of junk food after they have deprived themselves. What I do is I eat healthy food choices on a regular basis, but I do not completely cut of junk food. I mean really, no chocolate, impossible.

Healthy Life Style

                Over one half of the people living in America are considered to be overweight or obese.   I believe that America as a society is becoming lazy, especially with all of the new technology and fast food restaurants, leaving people desiring instant gratification. 

                There are many simple solutions to the obesity problem, but most people are not willing to do anything about it.  The main solutions would be to develop a healthier eating habit and get exercise on a daily bases.   First, a healthier diet would be as simple as eating a homemade meal instead of going through the drive through or buying a pre-cooked meal.  Not only will it help with health, it can also save a person money.

                One other way to fight weight gain is to get the recommended amount of exercise, which is thirty minutes a day on average.  This is a very simple task to accomplish.  Instead of watching an episode of television, you could take a short walk or play with your dog outside.  Also, a person could take some time to play their favorite sport instead of playing it on the x box or wii.
