Why do we find it so hard to lead a healthy lifestyle?



Most of us would like to live a happy healthy life but…a healthy lifestyle is often perceived as difficult to follow. Did you decided for the millionth time during the new year that now is the time to get in to shape and get healthier? However, by the time spring started even before Covid- lockdown measurements your new routines were out of the windown and you had almost given up on the idea. Well don’t give up just yet, because I can help!

So, what is healthy living really?

Healthy living is the day to day routine and lifestyle that lowers the risk of you being seriously ill or having a shorter life expectancy. However, health is not just about avoiding disease; it also takes in to account your physical, mental and social wellbeing. For many of us a healthy lifestyle may come in the form of losing a few pounds and dropping a clothes size. However, the holistic approach behind it is so much more important!

Losing weight can have a knock-on impact on your bodily functions, such as how well your heart and lungs can function. Moreover, it can reduce your risk of heart disease and many other factors, increasing your overall health. As well as this losing weight can improve your mental and social wellbeing, as it can help you feel more positive about yourself and your body image, and give you the confidence you need to be more social!

One of the key reasons you may feel that you are not able to lead a healthy lifestyle may be due to time constraints. You may lead a busy life, and either spend a large proportion of your day working or looking after children. This can make it harder to find the time to focus on your healthy living journey. The biggest issue of course at the moment is the lock down but… is it really?

Take this opportunity of time at home to plan! Educate yourself on what a healthier lifestyle for YOU would and could look like. New habits MUST be maintainable and realistic for you! Furthermore, you need them to be something that you are happy to stick to and if you have a family it also needs to work for you and your family.
