Rose’s Healthy Mind & Body Tips: 1. Face YOU: Do It For YOU! YOU ARE THE REASON FOR YOUR HEALTH OR FOR A Healthier or an UNHEALTHY self. Focus on YOU and the Positive Outcomes that will come when you recommit yourself to "Taking Care of Your Health". 2. Take ownership: You are responsible for what You put into your mouth and, what you do or do not do for your body, Your Health.... 3. Focus on YOU: "Your mind has to be in the right place. If it's not in the right place, your body's not going to follow, and you're not going to make the right changes for YOU! 4. Change You: Your Attitude and Words about Health, food and exercise: A better choice is, I am changing and improving my habits so that I can Take Better Care of ME, and Take Charge of my health, not just saying I want to lose weight. "There is no Magic fix!". Nothing will change until you commit. You Must Commit to Take Charge and Make Changes Each and EVERY DAY. 5. Nothing will work if YOU don't think it will... and on the other side of that coin...ANYTHING WILL WORK IF YOU BELIEVE IT: YOU Must BELIEVE and See your better self. Repeat what you were, or did in the past to be healthy, and you must Begin it Again Every DAY! 6. Be an example for Yourself: Practice what YOU preach to others. It’s easy to tell others what they should do,think or how to follow a healthier lifestyle or a Drs. Recommendation. Don’t be your worst hypocrite. Speak Wellness to yourself. 7. Use Your Plate to Decrease Your Portions. "Keep an inch between your food and the edge of the plate and make sure the food is not more than an inch high," he suggests. "Or use a salad plate as your entree plate." 8. Drink Water Before and After Each Meal to Fill You Up. "The water stretches your stomach. It sends a signal to your brain saying, 'I'm full, no more!'" he explains. "Now you're stretching the stomach to its maximum but on fewer calories!" 9. Use Color as your Meal Guide: Color helps you make the healthiest choices. "The best colors are the rainbow - so orange, blue, reds and greens are the best colors with all the vital nutrients that you need and the vitamins and minerals. The next best would be the browns, the whole grains and multi-grains. "The worst of course are the whites, the enriched flours." 10. Eat Different Foods Daily. Change your Menus frequently. "If you change your diet every four days you prevent food boredom, and you burn off more calories, because your body never gets adjusted to eating the same foods."
