"I will start my diet and exercise activities ...tomorrow" then tomorrow then the following day, tomorrow again because the food is so tempting!

Changing lifestyle starts with a good intention. But a good intention without the corresponding action is nothing.

Action is the result of a productive and active brain signals. It's like when our hand touches a hot surface, we remove it immediately. However we define this action as a reaction or a passive movement versus an active movement.

Changing lifestyle should be a product of active conscious movement that comes from our brain. It is combined with right intentions and the knowledge of its good effects to our body; and the logic that if we change now, the change will manifest in our body.

So here are some tips to start changing your lifestyle.

1. Understand your Brain Functions

Our brain is a complex system with a very small part of it dedicated to logical thinking. We need to feed our mind with good information and reasons why we should change. The hippocampus is the brain's million memory byte storage system. It will never run out of space. So read and feed your mind with the information you need... to change!

2.Food for the brain

"we are what we eat" ...not peanuts!

 It's amazing how food affects our brain functions, our analytical thinking, our mood as well as our body built. We have been eating empty food that makes us happy but keep us dumb. A lot of us weren't used to eating complex healthy carbs from vegetables and some fruits which our brain need. We love sweet, filling, creamy, cheesy, fatty foods which can do more harm than good.

So, the next time you are tempted to eat ice cream, eat avocados instead. I don't recommend you to skip a meal this time, just substitute your meal with more vegetables ..less rice and meat.

3. Sleep

A good sleep makes us alert. Lack of sleep swells our brain which may lead to a lot of complications. If you cannot sleep 8 hours at night, take a quick nap in between during the day time. Use your break time as nap time.

4. Exercise
You are too busy, too occupied, no time to go to the gym...oppsss! No need.. a consistent 5 minute exercise a day to start with your exercise lifestyle is all that you need. Choose a 5 minute dance song and play it while bending, twisting, stretching a day for 23 days will change the way you look at exercise. You may also ask your family members to join you. A family that exercises together lives longer together. Caution though, 30 minutes of exercise is the limit. Free radicals set in after that which is bad for your internal organs.
