Eating More Veggies And Doing More Exercise Works Wonders
A new Northwestern Medicine study reveals that just by simply spending less time on the sofa means not as much time is spent eating sweets. The study, published in Archives of Internal Medicine, demonstrates that changing just one bad habit has a domino effect on others.
Cutting down on sedentary leisure time like watching TV automatically reduces the intake of junk food and saturated fats, doubling the benefits, as both behaviors are closely linked.
The results reveal that the most effective way to get back on track from a bad lifestyle is for individuals to change two major factors in their behavior; The first is reducing the time spent watching TV or in front of a computer, and the second is to eat more fruits and vegetables.
Leading author, Bonnie Spring, a professor of preventive medicine at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine says:
“Just making two lifestyle changes has a big overall effect and people don’t get overwhelmed. Americans have all these unhealthy behaviors that put them at high risk for heart disease and cancer, but it is hard for them and their doctors to know where to begin to change those unhealthy habits. This approach simplifies it.”
