Healthy Lifestyle Changes

Health and Fitness is a lifetime commitment. It should be an important area in anyone's life. With one month past the New Year, are you still on track of your New Year's Resolutions? or already slipping?

We got to learn how to lead a performance lifestyle.

How long does it take for a lifestyle change to become routine? According to John C. Norcross, professor of psychology at the University of Scranton, it takes a minimum of three to six months to make a new behavior permanent.

We don't need experts to tell us about behavioral changes. Ask youself. How long does it take to learn to play tennis or piano? On the other hand, picking up a bad habit (e.g., smoking) doesn't just happen overnight, either. Right?!

Over half of the leading causes of death are lifestyle related in modern days. The modern liftstyle and working environment makes us consume more and move less.
