Why Do I Feel Unhealthy?

Have you tried to take steps towards a healthy lifestyle?

Do you take responsibility for your actions?

Are you eating too much?

Have you started exercising?

Many of us have tried to take that big step towards a healthy lifestyle and falter at some point. This can be due to many reasons, such as other priorities taking over or the inability to maintain what we started. Over time, this makes us feel fit and unhealthy, and we feel we have to do a lot more to get in good shape. In such cases, you're better off getting professional help in the form of trainers and nutrition experts as they can better guide you to start and sustain what you've started.

The first step to making a change is to accept that something is not right. When you understand the implications of a poor lifestyle, you will naturally do all required to change it. But this understanding is the key, so first, evaluate what you have and what you're doing. Understand the risks, set your goals, and you will naturally start working towards them.

Understanding that you are responsible for your current state is the key to get out of this lifestyle. In fact, the sooner you take the responsibility, the sooner you may be able to accept it. Never be a victim of your own circumstance and your mental limitations. Rather own it up and take efforts to change it.

One of the biggest reasons for an unfit and unhealthy lifestyle is food. Your body needs a certain amount of food, depending on your lifestyle, age, gender, and other factors. But this quantity is limited. So, if you eat way more than what your body needs, you're going to pile on the pounds and feel unfit. Likewise, if you get all your calories from unhealthy food, the micronutrients will be missing from it, and you'll feel unhealthy in this case. So, eating the right amount of food from the right sources is the key.

Exercising is the key to maintaining a fit and healthy lifestyle. While this doesn't mean exerting yourself too much and getting injured, rather what it means is a consistent routine spanning at least 20 to 30 minutes every day. You must mix cardio and weight management, coupled with exercises for flexibility and relaxation to work every muscle and get fit. If you're unsure how to go about it, reach out to a trainer to create an exercise plan, and strictly adhere to it.

Stick to your exercise plan and make sure you follow it diligently. Don't expect to get results within a week or month. And more importantly, never feel disheartened if you don't see the results right away. Continue to follow the plan, and you will eventually get fit.
