4 EASY Ways for Anyone to Lose Weight

Losing weight is tougher for some people than others, but regardless on how tough it is for you everyone is capable of losing some fat. There are endless amounts of ways to lose weight, but here are 4 simple tips I have that are extremely easy to do and won't cost you a dime.

4. Get some sleep! It is shown that most people who get enough sleep often have lower BMI indexes. Also lack of enough sleep can actually cause weight GAIN. Your body needs a ton of rest, especially if your in a sport or you are very active, so do your body a favor and get some more sleep!

3. Relax a bit. The phrase "working out" normally turns a lot of people off. If your not one of those people who loves to go to the gym and workout out weekly, don't worry! There are still plenty of other ways you can get get your "workout" in. Try walking, washing your car, playing a sport, going skiing, do some work around the house like cleaning or outside the house like cutting the grass, ride your bike, or simply just go for a nice light jog around your neighborhood with some music on.

2. Don't "Diet". Most people think that if they want to lose weight what they have to do is only eat healthy and cut all the bad foods out from your diet. Well actually, you can just add good foods to your diet and just cut back a little on the bad foods. Try adding some fruit smoothies, red cherries, or watermelon to your diet. Also let's say at 1:00 p.m. you have a soda. Instead of your soda have some tea or a glass of water. But let's just say that you need your soda. Instead of drinking 12 oz, drink 6 or 8.

1. Walk. Walking is just so easy to do. It is great for anyone who doesn't want to put a lot of pressure on their joints. Depending on your weight and how fast you walk, you can burn a lot of calories. Let's say your 200 pounds and walk 3 mph for 30 minutes, you'll burn nearly 200 calories. To find out how much you'll burn, try this calculator. http://www.healthstatus.com/calculate/cbc

Simple Ways to Improve your Mood

Over 100 million people in the world are dealing with depression and over 250 million people right now are in a bad mood. Are you one of those people? If so, here are some ways to get happier and be more energetic. 

Exercise. This is very important, not only physically but mentally as well. Exercising outdoors is normally better than indoors. When you exercise outdoors, you generally are more inclined to keep it up as well as more energetic. Not only that but if you live near a cool place and you decide to go for a run, the scenery is a nice little added bonus. Some cool activities to do outside are running, playing a sport like baseball or basketball, going for a bike ride, walking your dog, or if you live in a cold climate, try ice skating.

Eat. There are some foods that naturally improve your mood. Try eating some dark chocolate. Not only does it taste good, it is good for your brain and your heart as well as it is full of antioxidants. Also try apples with peanut butter, green tea, nuts, and a spinach salad.

Call Someone. If you call a family member or a friend and share a problem, you'll notice an immediate boost in your mood. Talking to someone who cares and shows an interest about you is something not everyone does, but it definitely helps. Also, why not go out to lunch with some members of your family or hang out with some friends. It is a great way to relax and have a good time, which will end up boosting your mood.

Help People. In my opinion, the absolute most effective way to improve your mood. Not only does it enhance your mood, you are being a good person, which is always a good thing, haha. Very simple things like holding the door open for someone or giving someone a great tip like a waiter can make a HUGE difference. I want you to check out this video below. It is a guy giving a homeless man 1,000 dollars. This video is so emotional and shows you that making positive differences in peoples lives is really what life is about, as well as relationships.
