5 Tricks to Keep Fit

Recently the weather is changing so unexpectedly that many people around me got flu symptoms and find it quite difficult to recover. I was preaching this 5 tricks to keep fit so often that I decided to write it on the Internet to share with my fellow readers.

I understand that different people have different physical body shape or background, that’s actually the first trick to look at when talking about keeping fit. Some people gain weight easily due to genetical heredity, somebody the other way round. This affects how we look and how we weight. In the chinese traditional saying, there are ‘yin’ and ‘yang’ body types. For ‘yin’ people, they feel cold easily, sometimes their hands and feet are so cold no matter how much clothes they put on. (This is also related to the personal characteristics, ‘yin’ people are most of the time relax and easy-going. But this is out of topic of this post.) For ‘yang’ people, you can say the other way round, they’re hot tempered, warm body and sweat easily. Different body types should look for different diet.

This lead to the second trick - Diet. There are many websites talking about diet, especially for people who wants to loss weight. I’m not a professional doctor, so I’m not going into details here. (If you’re interested, please go to this webpage for further detail: http://www.diet.com/tracking/index_c.php?id=1611 ) But for people with different physical shape, diet can be a critical part to stay healthy and fit. As mentioned, ‘yin’ people feel cold easily, so try to avoid cold drinks or cold food like ice-cream. For ‘yang’ people, deep fried stuff is the killer. (I know, it is really difficult to cut your favorite food, I’m not saying that you should stop eating these food forever, anyhow you need to give yourself a treat.) But it is a matter of persistence.

Persistence, our third trick. As we all know, cutting the food we love is like taking my life away sometimes… (You’re right, I love eating and sometimes can hardly cut those ‘attractive yummy little snacks’. That’s where you can see how fragile our mind can be.) I think to be persistent, especially regarding how to lose weight or how to keep fit, it is better tell your plan to your friends and family so they can give you the support you need. On the other hand, you must remind yourself how good to be healthy and look great all the time. Set a target, e.g. not to fall sick during the flu season or lose 5 lbs. in a month, etc. If you achieve your goal, maybe then you can give yourself a little treat. This will keep you motivated.

Metabolism rate is another trick to help you achieve your plan to keep fit. As we all know, metabolism rate is the mystery dominating our body shape and recovery rate, too fast or too slow is not the best to us, but how to keep it at a steady rate? Sleep and exercise are the keys. Without sleep or rest, our metabolism will slow down, causing us to gain weight easily. According to research, it is better that we have 6 hours of sleep every day, the best before 12 as our kidney can cooperate to cleanse the body. Exercise can make our metabolism goes faster, so as to burn extra calories. Another research saying that 2 hours per week of exercising is the best duration.

Last but not least, have a yearly body check. It is always a good idea to know your body and how it changes over time. If you want to master it, you have to understand it. As you know, some skinny people do have a high cholesterol rating! Afterall, it is also a good time to have a free consultation with the doctor regarding some tips on keeping fit!

Hope the above 5 tricks to keep fit can help you to stay out of flu and influenza during this hard season. If you need more detail, you can check the following link: http://www.diet.com/tracking/index.php?id=1611
