Fitness Question and Answer Forum

What are the key components for living a healthy lifestyle? There are 3 key components: A well-balanced nutrition regimen; exercise with proper form & adequate rest. How much less should I eat to lose weight? Actually, eat more. Eat more often. You should consume around 3-5 small well-balanced “meals” per day plus get proper exercise to increase your metabolism. This will decrease your body fat percentage while increasing your lean muscle mass.

How much water should I consume daily for proper hydration?

To stay healthy, I recommend to drink half of your body weight in ounces of quality filtered, chlorine-free water daily.  E.g. if you weigh 200 lbs, you should consume 100 ounces of water daily. For those of you using the metric system, multiply your body weight in kg by 0.033 for liters/day water consumption.  E.g. if you weigh 90 kg, you should consume around 3 litres of water daily.

What exercise could I perform daily to achieve optimal health?

Andy’s tips:

• Walking on a daily basis is the best medicine.
• Park your car at the far end of the parking lot.
• Use the stairs instead of the elevator.
• Build up to 20-30 mins of walking daily.
