Healthy living means to me that I am able to eat a diet that consists of the requirements from Canada's food guide and have frequent physical activities included into my schedule. I believe that physical activity and eating well are big roles in becoming a healthy person. I feel that having a routine while growing up contributes to the physical activity one will obtain as an adult. I feel that I am pretty active. I dance and that is where I manage to get alot of my physical activity done, I also workout at home when I can or go to the gym. I try my best to include physical activity into my routine (ex. taking the stairs instead of the elevator). The benefits of the physical activities that I am registered in are they help me stay healthy and fit. Dancing and working out even help improve my mood.
In my current eating plan, I try to include the various amounts of food as I looked to Canada’s Food Guide for assistance while growing up. I believe that eating healthy throughout a person’s lifestyle is essential and has many great effects. I feel that having a healthy lifestyle should include a person’s favourite things, just in moderation. Although, sometimes I do not stick to my plan of healthy eating or follow the food guide, I try my best. As a result, I have kept the food guide on my fridge to motivate me to make healthier food decisions and make sure I am getting my daily intake.
For me, the other components I consider in healthy living would be, being confident and healthy mentally. I believe that once a person is able to be comfortable and straight forward about their goals, they can move forward and actually reach them. I do not think staying healthy is as easy as it sounds; it takes a lot of effort and dedication. That is why I think the right mind set is required.
