What Controls Our Health Habits ?

Also contributing to the difficulty in changing our health habits is the fact that these habits often are unstable over time. For example, some people go on crash diets for special occasions such as weddings and reunions. In doing so, they restrict their caloric intake for a short time3 losing large amounts of weight only to return to their old eating habits following the special occasion. Other people might adopt a healthier lifestyle only to slip back into their old pattems  during a time of high stress. The job a personal fitness trainer and nutritional specialist is to help clients establish and maintain healthy behaviors that they can sustain for a lifetime.

When Bad Feels Good

Another obstacle people face when trying to change their bad health habits is the pleasure they get from these unhealthy practices. For example, junk food and sweets are fun to eat. A person may crave her favorite foods and derive great pleasure from eating them . Many unhealthy behaviors are automatic, such as planting oneself in front of the television for several hours each night. Any habit that is pleasurable is difficult to break. and in our society eating junk food and watching hours of TV are two of the strongest.

Don't Just Sit There !

Our bodies are meant to move. You don't have to be an expert in human anatomy to see that the muscles and joints of the human body are put together so that it can bend, stretch, jump, and run. So why is it so hard for most of us to get on that treadmill or bike and exercise each day? When it comes to our bodies and muscles, the saying , Use it or lose it really applies. By failing to use our bodies, we allow our muscles to weaken and our joints to become stiff. Then, when we try to start an exercise routine, our bodies resist  the sudden extra force . And this isn't just physically discouraging. Mentally, someone who tries to exercise and finds it too difficult or painful will be quick to pick up a defeated attitude.
