What do you do to stay healthy? Options

[Timbo]

What would you say are some of the routines, habits, rituals, diets, practices, etc. that you use to keep yourself fit? Let's hear it

i will think about what i consume but not that much. If i have been eating like crap I will make sure not to miss a day at the gym or eat a healthier more nutrient rich meal the next day
I run 3-5 times a week. 3-5 miles and park away from campus so i walk back and forth.
if i start feeling sick ill bump up the healthy foods and drink

BUT i havent been doing any of these lately and for the past 3 months ive been sick during the same week of the month.

exercise hugely helps immune system i can testify to that

I eat lots of fresh food rather than canned/otherwise prepackaged crap. I do well on uncooked fruits and veggies, so I usually have fruit as a major component of breakfast & as part of lunch, plus lots of salads and veggie-heavy sandwiches. I also like eating homemade guacamole, spring rolls, lettuce wraps, and other such items, though I've been slacking on some of those as of late.

I stretch in the morning and evening and do a 3/4 mile walk after lunch with my coworkers most work days. After this week, I'm gonna have a MUCH shorter commute (15 min vs. 1 hr+) and thus will have more time to exercise. I'm planning on doing some form of aerobic exercise each day after work, probably a rotation of swimming, jump rope, jogging, and elliptical machine/treadmill in the gym.

As for little stuff, I take the stairs rather than the elevator, I don't go crazy trying to find a close parking spot to a store (I'll park close if I see a spot right away, but I'm just as happy to park halfway across the parking lot), drink water & hot tea primarily, erm... other little stuff too, I'm sure.

i eat six small meals a day consisting of a protein, starchy carb, and a fibrous carb... six small meals help to speed up the metabolism and keep your blood sugar at a steady rate to avoid drops etc. that can lead to sugar cravings

basically: run everyday, lift weights, stretch, and eat right

i quit updating this crappy blog cause it was too time-consuming, but the information on the "about" page might help you out

I lift weights when I feel like it, I try to eat decently when I feel like it


And I hate christ.

[moebary]

i don't eat fast food, lift weights/run when i can, play soccer/softball often (though softball has stopped due to a broken finger)

[Psykopath]

mixed martial arts. Martial arts are a fun way to get in shape...be it kickboxing, jiu jitsu, wrestling, judo, boxing, etc.

I need to eat healthier though. That'll change soon enough.

[schwab]

my main problem is i dont go to the grocery store enough, which causes me to eat out

last year i was a lot better off about this, but then again i started working out this year more

[chook]

Hating Christ has done wonders for me. I feel pretty healthy except when my roommate makes curry, and it blows out my asshole.

[Mommy]

yikes

[Psykopath]

Hey, just because you people can't handle the uber-spice of my cooking style doesn't make my food unhealthy!

[The Fanatic]

It does make the asshole unhealthy...

Only for those with non-Spartan digestive systems!!!

not going out to eat, no fast food, only quality food...easy to find in Houston

~4 mile walk everyday followed by varying weights every other day
no more than 1500 cals a day unless i burn a bunch during the work out..then i can eat up to 1700 or so...TONS of fruit, veggies, whole grains, lean meats...

thats about it.
