Nutrition, Exercise and Positive Behavior Strategies

I was doing an interview on a TV show and the moderator of the show asked me a question about the importance of exercise and nutrition. Immediately I knew what I had to do. I had to provide a behavioral based answer because it is way too easy to give the standard answer of nutrition is 85% of what you do and exercise is 15%. In reality the habit of nutrition and exercise is based on a balanced behavior of the two. But more importantly it is based on understanding how to do both of those things in order for them to work.

 

In the article on Nutrition, Exercise and Behavior by Jason Machowsky, he talks about people have to have a working knowledge of how to implement effective nutritional and exercise plans. Additionally, Machowsky states that even with knowing how to implement behaviors one must be careful of the environmental influences in life that could decrease participation in effective nutritional and exercise behaviors. These influences include long work hours, family commitments and so forth. Finally Machowsky stresses that once you have maintained a proper nutritional and exercise behavior that you should reward yourself for your efforts.
 
I really enjoyed the article written by Machowsky. It laid out some effective behavioral strategies for getting involved in and maintaining proper nutritional and exercise behaviors. I highly recommend anyone to read this article.

High Raw gives the most comprehensible outline for directing your own health that I've found yet. It is not a book that tells you to take this herb for that illness, but rather a book that directs you in setting your own goals for health, weight, energy, fitness and success, and then gives really insightful and helpful systems for achieving them. In my video I'll share some of my favorite parts.
