Habit 1: Eating right is a very important part of a healthy lifestyle. Now according to many of today's marketing ploys, you could be eating anything and it's considered "healthy". Low-fat, low-carb, no-carb…what's the best. Well, I think if you just use common sense, you'll know what a healthy diet is. If you can, shop at the natural food store, as this is usually the healthiest food. Stick to the food guide pyramid and get some variety.

One of the biggest factors is how often you eat. All of our lives we've been taught to eat three big meals. However, recent studies have shown that this isn't necessarily best for us. If you can, try eating 4-6 smaller meals throughout the day. This keeps your metabolism working constantly and will burn more calories. This approach is pretty obvious when you think about it.

When you only eat big portions a few times per day, your body thinks it will be awhile until it gets food again. Therefore, it stores some of the food away for a rainy day. If you eat more frequently, your body thinks more food will be coming soon. Less fat is stored as a result of this. So in summary, eat your meat, dairy, grains, fruits and vegetables…and eat them frequently.

Habit 2: Another habit that healthy people perform is taking supplements. Vitamins can give you that extra boost that you don't get through your diet. Chances are, even if you're trying to eat healthy, you miss something that you need. A good multivitamin will solve that.

Habit 3: Healthy people generally get a good amount of sleep every night. Your body was designed to rest every night. It will work better for you if you let it. Six to eight hours is optimal. When you go to sleep, clear your mind of everything else. A busy mind will keep you awake and not let you sleep as deeply. Just try to forget the day and rest. You'll feel much better.

Habit 4: Another habit that healthy people have in common is good hygiene. This may seem like a given, but it should not be ignored. Having good oral health contributes to your overall health as well. So listen to the dentist and brush at least twice a day. Don't forget to floss, either.

Habit 5: One habit that nearly all highly healthy people have in common is their attitude. Good mental health is synonymous with good physical health. You can't be depressed all the time and be healthy. Control your attitude and control your health. Try to put some of these habits into your routine. You'll be glad you did.

I'm 5'8, 170 pounds, not as hairy as those fat people on tv representing pigs. I'm slim, yet chubby, but i want to be like one of those marine. The only thing is I would like step to step guides (a website would help me a lot) to becoming as healthy as a marine. Marine food is not viable.

And another thing, I'm the kind of person that if the first day is tense I'll go back on being chubby. So, try your best to persuade me into having a marine's healthy lifestyle.

This is going to sound harsh but you need it. Being that I come from a heavily military family and have many friends in the military, it irritates me to read that you want to 'become as healthy as a marine' but are so obvious in the fact that you're lazy.

The Marines are healthy because they do the work and bust their asses. They go through hardcore workouts that even healthy average people would have difficulty with. Sometimes they go through physical training several times a day and do it most days of the week. They do in the rain, cold, snow, blazing hot summers. With your attitude it'd take you years. If you need to be persuaded into helping yourself so you can live longer, then you don't deserve it. The Marines that seem you to idolize would not tolerate your instant gratification approach. It's all about blood, sweat and tears and if you aren't willing to reach out and grab what you want then you can stay the chubby guy. Suck it up and do it.

Since you want a website, I suggest you Google military workouts and see what you're up against.

Congratulations - you're pregnant and you're looking for ways to 'keep it healthy' during this wonderful time. So good for you for deciding to get the important information you'll need before improving your eating habits while carrying your precious cargo. And you'll be happy to learn that you can stay fit and active while you're pregnant without depriving yourself of every good thing you love to eat. Just a few small changes in your lifestyle including the following diet tips for a healthy pregnancy will ensure both you and your baby get the nutrients you need.

H2O is the Way to Go!
One of the most important diet tips for a healthy pregnancy is to make sure you stay hydrated. Not only will drinking six to eight 8-ounce glasses or bottles of water a day keep your skin looking great while you're pregnant, but it can also help to prevent early labor and lessen some of those uncomfortable symptoms such as constipation and bloating that are common during pregnancy. In conjunction with this tip, caffeine and sugar-loaded beverages should be avoided. Juice is okay, but overall, water should be your best buddy.

Bring on the Fruits and Veggies
A minimum of 2-3 servings of citrus fruits and dark green, leafy vegetables each day will provide an exceptional source of folic acid which is an essential element that helps in the prevention of miscarriage and birth defects such as spina bifeda. Folic acid works for you by maintaining and lowering the level of homocysteine in your bloodstream which is known to be a contributing culprit in those unfortunate circumstances. A good diet tip for a healthy pregnancy is to keep in mind that a fresh array of produce is much better for you than the canned variety and that fresh citrus fruit can also help to diminish nausea.

Power-Up with Protein
Protein keeps your cells healthy and will also result in a wonderful, healthy start for your newborn as well. The recommended amount of protein intake for a pregnant woman is at least 75 grams a day. Foods that can help you achieve that amount are grains and pasta in addition to eggs and potatoes. Another diet tip for a healthy pregnancy is to remember that protein can also protect you from headaches, edema, hypertension and other pregnancy-related disorders. And don't forget iron and 2-3 servings of calcium-rich foods like lean meats and fish, as well as milk and other dairy products such as yogurt and cheese.

Indulge in Moderation
Everyone knows that cravings are a big part of pregnancy and no one expects you to completely cut sugar and fat out of your diet while you're pregnant. As a matter of fact, you need certain amounts of fat to stay healthy. So, it's okay to indulge in some of your favorite junk foods as long as you're smart about it - everything in moderation. A good diet tip for a healthy pregnancy is to just watch your portion sizes and do your best to avoid going overboard.

Not only can a healthy weight loss diet help you get into better shape, but it can also lessen your risk for certain disorders such as heart disease, diabetes and high blood pressure, to name just a few. And a healthy plan for losing weight can also lessen the damaging effects of certain ailments that one may already be stricken with as well. To help you achieve the best results from a healthy weight loss diet, keep the following strategies in mind.

The first thing to remember is that in order to lose those extra pounds, your calorie intake has to be less than the amount your body is actually burning on a daily basis. This may seem like an obvious statement, but it's worth mentioning because that seems to be the one major point people take for granted. If you're eating more than you're burning off, no matter which healthy weight loss diet plan you follow, the pounds are just not going to come off. This is one of the reasons people get frustrated when they don't see the results of their dieting efforts. So think about what you're consuming every day in relation to your level of activity. This could very well lead you to one of the answers you're looking for in terms of your weight loss or lack thereof.

Secondly, realizing that getting into shape is not solely based on a healthy weight loss diet alone will be another step in the right direction toward achieving your desired results. Incorporating exercise into any diet regimen will not only ensure that certain areas of your body will decrease in size, but also that they will become more fit and firm. Exercising along with your healthy eating habits will also speed up those results as you'll be burning more calories and fat than you would by just dieting alone.

Keep in mind that there is really no quick fix for weight loss. By doing so, it will help you hold stead-fast to your plan because once you realize that the pounds are not going to miraculously melt off over night, you can take some peace of mind in knowing that you are working towards a goal and making the efforts that will eventually result in achieving the success you're after. Something else to remember is that things like crash dieting, surgery and diet pills are only temporary fixes because if you're still not eating right and exercising after you've dropped the weight, those pounds will eventually be right back where they were before, and might even show up in a few new places as well. So, it's very important to consciously and consistently live a nutritiously balanced and active lifestyle regardless of your choice of healthy weight loss diet plans.

And a great benefit of sticking to your plan and then experiencing the positive results of your efforts is that it's also a wonderful way to boost your self-esteem. Consider the pride you'll feel once you achieve the level of success you're after in terms of getting into shape. You'll not only look better, but feel better as well because you did something good for yourself. Give yourself that well-deserved pat on the back and move forward confidently as you maintain the new and improved lifestyle that you achieved, all on your own, by committing to your healthy weight loss diet efforts.

I am not overweight, but am looking to start living a more healthy lifestyle by changing both my diet and by starting to workout and exercise more. I'm looking for any suggestions about good books that target either or both of these goals. I would love to work on a little muscle building too but most importantly I want to just stay fit and eat right and nutritiously. If anyone can help with this, it is greatly appreciated.
P.S. I am a 19 year old male.

I just found this great magazine, and I think it's a monthly. It's called "Heart Healthy Living" and it's put out by "Better Homes and Gardens" magazine. Filled with great articles and recipes.

Another good book for recipes and such is "The 8 Week Cholesterol Cure Cookbook" by Robert E. Kowalski. Harper & Row Publishers. Even if you don't have cholesterol problems, it's a great book with more than 200 recipes. Tells you what and how to eat to lower the cholesterol. I bought it to cook for my DH who has the problem, it's both hereditary and food related. We both eat the same now, so I figure it ain't hurting me any, either!!!

You sound like a smart young man, more people should feel like us, there would be less obesity and heart disease in this country!

OK, so what i eat comes mostly from my fridge,
which is mostly fries, nuggets, basically unhealthy food..
I want to lead a healthy lifestyle now, so i want to begin with this fridge of mine(lol)..

So any ideas of what foods/fruits etc etc? and also if its cheap or comes in varieties in one packet?..

Sorry if it seems too long..

Oranges and apples are a good start. Grapes, also can be munched while watching TV, instead of chips. And if you have to have snack foods in the house, get corn chips or pretzels. Pasta is good. You could cook a mushroom spinach lasagna on Sunday and freeze individual serving sizes to take out of the freezer whenever you want lasagna or are too lazy to cook during the week.

Remember that hand held prepared foods, like fries or pizzas, are usually unhealthy.

Good luck!
