Each year, on January 1st, you look yourself in the mirror and promise yourself this will be the year you shed those excess pounds and get back in shape. But by mid-February, you’re back on the couch, gazing at the television, munching on the snacks that have been your downfall for years. The health and fit- ness books you bought are collecting dust on a shelf, and you’ve cancelled your gym membership. Another year lost. Another 12 months spent think- ing about how you’d like to get in shape, only to suc- cumb to the same habits that got you where you are to begin with. The hole you’re in becomes that much deeper, the path out that much harder. You’ve heard all the tips, tried all the diets, and attempted to dedicate yourself to diet and exercise. But nothing seems to work. An ominous feeling of helplessness sets in. Fortunately, it’s never too late to get a start on get- ting healthy and in shape. There are tips out there that you may not have heard. Everyday changes that can make a difference. This two-part series will outline 10 of them. Incorporate these outside-of-the-box health tips into your everyday life, and you may find the path to your target weight isn’t as treacherous as it once seemed. 10) GET A REGULAR AMOUNT OF SLEEP Many people don’t realize how much sleep and daily consumption levels are intertwined. According to various medical journals, people who get eight hours of sleep nightly take in, on average, 200 fewer calories per day. By simply ensuring that you’re well- rested, you can vastly reduce your amount of caloric intake over an extended period of time. “Your body derives energy from both food and sleep,” said Lisa Scheetz, Director of Operations at the Vineland YMCA. “So naturally the two are connected. If you’re getting the proper amount of sleep each night, you’ll be less inclined to feel hungry the next day, and that absence of hunger will cut down on unnecessary snacking, helping to reduce your intake.” Not only does sleep help reduce the amount you consume, but it also recharges your immune system, helping you avoid sickness and gear up for a workout. So, good news—sleeping regularly could become a key contributor to your fitness. 9) DRINK MORE WATER The benefits of drinking more water are threefold. First, by replacing your usual drink of choice— whether it is juice, soda, tea, or alcoholic—with water, you’ll reduce the amount of calories you consume. Water holds a grand total of zero calories, so even the most health-conscious drinkers can reduce their daily caloric intake by 500 simply by switching to water. But water has another, even more important bene- fit. It can reduce the amount of food you eat daily. “Serving sizes have gotten out of control in the U.S.,” said Scheetz. “When you look at the chain restaurants, their typical meals are three times the standard serving size, and this is what people have become accustomed to eating. So when you cut down to a normal serving size, you still feel hungry when you’re done your meal. One way to help yourself feel more full after a meal is to drink a big glass of water beforehand.” Continued on page 8 Inspired by someone who has made our community a better place to live and work?
