Healthy Living Step No. 1: Take stock.
Your first step toward healthy living is to get a handle on
your health status right now. Here's your to-do list:
Make appointments with your doctor and dentist. Catch
up on your routine screening and immunizations , and
take the opportunity to ask your doctor any questions
you might have.
Gauge your girth. Measure your height and weight to
check your BMI, and measure your waist circumference
to see if you're overweight and if your waistline is
putting your health at risk.
Assess your activity. How much physical activity do you
get in a typical week? How intense is that activity? How
much variety do you get in your activity, and how much
do you enjoy it? The CDC recommends that adults get at
least two and a half hours per week of moderate-
intensity aerobic activity or one hour and 15 minutes per
week of vigorous-intensity aerobic activity, plus muscle-
strengthening activities at least two days per week.
Keep a food diary. Write down everything you eat for a
day -- and no fair skipping the items you're embarrassed
about. "The idea is to write it down ... without judgment,"
says Kathianne Sellers Williams, MEd, RD, LD, a
nutritionist, wellness coach, and personal trainer with
Cafe Physique in Atlanta. "You can't change what you're
not aware of or don't acknowledge."
Check your mood and energy. Healthy living includes
emotional wellness and adequate rest. How has your
mood been lately? Are you experiencing any symptoms
of depression or anxiety ? Do you usually sleep well for
seven to eight hours a night?
Consider your social network. How strong are your
connections with family and friends? Are you plugged in
with social or spiritual groups that enrich your life?
"People have a fundamental need for positive and lasting
relationships ," C. Nathan DeWall, assistant professor of
psychology at the University of Kentucky, tells WebMD.
If you're not thrilled with the answers to some of those
questions, remember that the point is to figure out where
you are today so you can set your healthy living goals. It's
not about being "good" or "bad," "right" or "wrong."
