Let's talk about what you are drinking in a day, and how much? Beverage calories often get overlooked but are a huge part of weight gain, and difficulty losing weight. A cup of orange juice in the morning? Coffee with cream and sugar? A sweet tea with lunch? A soda mid day? A glass or 2 of milk with dinner? All of these beverages have calories, and they can add up to hundreds of calories during the day if they are not zero calorie beverages. Which will lead to weight gain and difficulty losing weight. Take a closer look at YOUR beverages.

On a "diet", so are you eating foods that you hate? Don’t! It will just backfire. There are plenty of other healthy foods that you can eat that you will actually enjoy, which will help you stick to your diet. Hate kale? Go with spinach. Hate most fruit? Try berries. Don’t like oatmeal? Get your whole grains from quinoa instead. Don’t eat foods you don’t like!

How fast are you eating? When you eat quickly, it’s much easier to eat a lot more food than your body really needs. Over time, the excess calorie intake can lead to weight gain. Slow down and take your time while eating.

Walking 8,000 steps per day can cut your risk of dying by 51 percent. 🚶‍♂️📉
A 2020 JAMA study followed 4,840 adults for 10 years and found that people who averaged 8,000 steps had 51 percent lower all cause mortality compared to those who took 4,000 steps. At 12,000 steps, the risk dropped by 65 percent.

These benefits showed up for heart disease, cancer, different ages, sexes, and health backgrounds. A 2023 study also found that even 1 to 2 days per week of 8,000 steps reduced mortality by 14.9 percent. Taking 8,000 steps on 3 or more days per week lowered risk by 16.5 percent. You do not need perfection for results.

Walking also improves mood, lowers depression and anxiety symptoms, helps with fat loss, and improves cardiovascular health. Research shows steps reduce body weight, BMI, and waist size by improving insulin sensitivity, lowering inflammation, and supporting heart function.

You do not need a gym. You need movement. Park farther. Take the stairs. Walk during calls. Simple habits add years to your life. Your future self will thank you. 🌿
