Which is it, diet or exercise??

    The age old question, do I need to exercise more or eat less?  Well the answer is very individual and both are important in a healthy lifestyle.  In most cases the combination of a healthy diet and exercise is an effective approach.  
    A balanced diet includes a variety of foods from all food groups providing the essential nutrients and energy needed to support overall health and well being. 
    A good diet can help to regulate weight, improve mood and boost energy levels. Eating healthy can also help to reduce the risk of chronic diseases, such as heart disease, stroke, diabetes and cancer.

    Regular exercise helps to keep the body physically fit, agile and reduces stress.  Regular physical activity can improve cardiovascular health, strengthen muscle and bones, and improve balance.  Exercise can also help boost mood and increase energy levels.

    When combined a good diet and exercise can help to maximize the benefits of a healthy lifestyle. It's important to find exercise or activity that you enjoy and fits into your lifestyle.  Your body needs a good diet and exercise to maintain a healthy body and improved well being.  Each benefits the body in different ways.

    So get out there experiment with healthy foods and a variety of activities to find what works for you.  A new yoga class below.

Approach your goal as adding something positive rather than eliminating, example: eat healthier.      Suggestion: Include a vegetable in one meal a day, 3-4 meals a week.     Once these realistic goals are achieved re-evaluate and create your new attainable goal.  PLEASE prevent from creating a list of goals or to do's, approach one at a time, once you have reached your goal and it is sustainable then move on.  This is not pas...
