This is absolutely true when it comes to exercise and nutrition. Drastic changes to a nutrition or exercise routine can cause more harm than good, and are often quite unsustainable.
People who do diligent research on health matters, are privy to a lot of information about general health, nutrition, and exercise. However, all of this information can be overwhelming at times and finding a way to take advantage of it the best way possible is very important. For example, making an extreme change to your diet or trying an exercise routine can be harmful if done too rapidly.
The best way to make improvements to your health is to phase them in over time, instead of jumping into a program head-first without really knowing what you're doing.
When it comes to diet, for example, start small. Start by making a few changes to a couple of meals, while still maintaining some of your regular foods. This not only helps you make the transition, but makes it far more comfortable and sustainable.
It will be much easier and more natural to eat healthier without reverting back to your old bad habits.
The same goes for exercise especially if you've been rather inactive for an extended period. Easing into it is essential for safety and optimal results, so start light and do moderate sessions a couple of time a week. Don't push yourself too hard as your body adapts, instead focusing on proper form and technique. As you progress, you can increase the intensity and continue from there.
If you jump in at full speed however, you will likely burn out quickly, experience unnecessary pain, and put yourself at a greater risk for injury. Have a warm and healthy day.
Any suggestions or feed-back out there from my visitors? Would love to hear from you. Cheers!
