Another clear benefit of a lifestyle that includes regular workouts comes from Reuters today. Apparently, making workouts a part of your lifestyle can boost the function of insulin-producing cells, good news for seniors and age-related diabetes. I’ve written before of making lifestyle changes. While benefits were seen in as little in one week, the key is making changes that last.
Since I’m always reading about nutrition and diets, I took to heart some related advice from Mireille Guiliano’s book, . The book contains some amazing recipes and some good advice, though the idea of starting my lifestyle change with a weekend of only eating leeks and leek soup doesn’t sound very appealing. The end of the book, though, encapsulated some interesting thoughts. Unlike what a recent University of Minnesota study discovered about daily weigh-ins,Guiliano recommends not weighing in, but relying on your clothes fit.
The message that I found most enlightening and encouraging for those that are making lifestyle changes is that there are no dead-ends, merely detours to the road to fitness and wellness. A positive attitude keeps one moving forward.
