12 Reasons to get healthy in 2012

Did you know...

In adults, overweight and obesity are linked to increased risk of heart disease, Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, certain cancers and many other chronic conditions.

Did you also know...

That excess body weight is the strongest risk factor for hypertension (high blood pressure)??? AND, did you know that studies show that if you're overweight, even modest weight loss might bring your blood pressure down to normal!!?

So, feel like getting into shape? Here are 12 bits of information to help you get healthy in 2012.

1. Start Moving. Join a gym, ride bikes, walk around the lake, take a yoga class, do Zumba, walk your dogs, jumprope, play tennis, walk the track.

2. Follow the SPS Wellness Twitter and Facebook page. You will find LOTS of health related information, recipes, food tips, helpful health links and so much more. @SPS_Wellness & www.facebook.com/spswellness

3. Record your workouts and keep a food diary. There are some terrific apps that will help you with this. Many are free and easy to use. "My Fitness Pal" and "lose it" are examples.

4. Find a friend to work-out and get in shape with you! It's easier if you have someone to walk with, meal plan with, take silly aerobic classes with...

5. Make it a family goal to be more active. Do family activities that burn calories together! Cook healthy meals together, walk, etc.

6. Park FAR away from the store! Do NOT be that person that sees someone coming out with their groceries and waits like 20 minutes and holds everybody else up just because they don't want to walk. Please. Don't be that guy. Or girl. Unless your foot is broken, or something...

7. Eat more fruits and vegetables. Why? Because you are supposed too.

8. Sad? Exercise helps with depression and anxiety! Several lines of research suggest that exercise increases brain serotonin function in the human brain. Exercise affects the biology in the brain in the same way that anti-depressant drugs do!

9. If you start now, soon you will be able to fit into your favorite jeans again.

10. You will be a role model for youth!! Childhood obesity is on the rise. In fact, in the past 30 years, the prevalence of childhood obesity has more than doubled among children ages 2-5, has tripled among youth ages 6-11 and has MORE than tripled among adolescents ages 12-19. This rate is alarmingly high. By being an active and healthy adult in a child's life, you can help to inspire them to be healthier as well!

11. Being healthier=Less doctor visits!!

12. Be ready for summer/bathing suit weather!!! Summer break is in 132 days!! That's 132 days to get healthy/healthier, people!!
