5 Simple Steps to a Fitter, Leaner, Healthier You
1. Take a Probiotic
Probiotics aid digestion and absorption of nutrients in the gut. A healthy, clean intestine is essential for keeping you lean, and energized, with optimal brain function.
2. Do Lunges
Lunges will help you gain serious strength in the lower body, but they also require you to activate the trunk, making them a useful “core” exercise (keep the trunk erect by contracting the abdominal muscles, and avoid an anterior tilting the pelvis).
3. Eat Breakfast
Eating breakfast increases your metabolism from fasting overnight, creating a greater calorie burn than if you don’t eat anything. There’s significant evidence breakfast eaters are leaner, eat more protein, vitamins, and minerals, and have better insulin health.
4. Make a Fruit and Vegetable Diet Goal Daily
If these health-promoting foods are seriously lacking in your diet (none to two a day), start conservatively by committing to eat four servings total. For those of you who are a bit healthier, bump up your intake moderately each week (Ideally to 9).
5. Sleep Better
Magnesium and Darkness-Magnesium is a lesser known bit of sleep-inducing magic. You also need to turn off all lights, screens, and light-emitting devices in your bedroom for good sleep.
