Excess body fat is the result of eating more than we require. Extra calories can be obtained
from any caloric food, including protein, fat, carbohydrate, and alcohol, although fat is the
most concentrated source of energy. Physical activity allows us to expend energy while also
making us feel good. The message is straightforward: if we are gaining weight, we must eat
less and exercise more!

9. Start moving and make it a habit!

Physical activity is beneficial to people of all sizes and health issues. It aids in the burning of
excess calories, is beneficial to the heart and circulatory system, preserves or grows
muscular mass, aids in concentration, and enhances general health and well-being. We
don't have to be Olympic athletes to begin moving! 150 minutes of moderate physical activity
each week is recommended, and it may simply be included into our everyday routine. We
could all:

1. Instead of taking the elevator, take the steps.
2. During lunch breaks, go for a walk (and stretch in our offices in between).
3. Create time for a weekend activity with the family.

10. Get started right away! And the changes will continue to be incremental.

Major lifestyle changes introduced all at once are more difficult to maintain than gradual
improvements. For three days, we could keep track of everything we ate and drank during
the day, as well as how much exercise we got in. It will not be difficult to identify areas where
we can improve:

1. Why are you skipping breakfast? A little bowl of muesli, a piece of bread, or some
fruit could help us get into it gradually.
2. Is there a lack of fruits and vegetables in your diet? To begin, we can add one
additional piece per day.
3. What are your favorite high-fat foods? Eliminating them all at once may have the
opposite effect, causing us to revert to our previous patterns. Instead, we might
consume low-fat foods less frequently and in smaller portions.
4. Is there a lack of activity? Taking the stairs on a daily basis could be a good start.
