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.

Mental Health

Mental health refers to the health of the mind. Sometimes referred to as psychological health, this includes what a person thinks and feels and the behaviors resulting from his thought processes. Psychologically healthy people tend to possess a positive attitude toward their abilities and life in general. As a result, they are more likely to possess the motivation needed to start and continue a fitness program than those who feel negatively about themselves and their abilities. This in no way means that someone who suffers from a psychological disease, such as depression, cannot become physically fit. While these people may require more encouragement and motivation from their fitness trainers, oftentimes the improvement in their physical health is followed by an improvement in their mental health. The feelings of accomplishment and newfound physical abilities can help a person to develop a better self image.

You Are What You Eat

Nutrition refers to the food that a person takes into his body and the way that food influences his health. What we eat plays an important role in determining how we feel. Our diet can help or hinder our daily physical and mental functioning and affect our long term health. You probably have heard the saying , You are what you eat. Modern medical studies have concluded that this is true! Just as your car runs best when maintained properly and given the best gasoline, our bodies function best when we eat healthy and nutritious foods and beverages. Not only does good nutrition help us to be at our mental and physical best on a day to day basis, but it also plays a large role in keeping our bodies healthy and disease free over a lifetime. As a personal fitness trainer and nutritional specialist, you'll be able to help your clients eat a more healthy diet.
