Today we’re taking a break from my story and focusing in on something new.  In a guest post, our friend Carter Kahlmus gives us valuable tips on healthy, specifically gaining assistance from experts to avoid injury!  Thanks Carter!

“Health is wealth” is an age-old proverb – and for good reason. When you are healthy, the longevity and quality of your life improves. There are many factors that determine if you are healthy. Health does not solely mean a life free of chronic diseases or other illnesses; it also means living a good lifestyle that encourages liveliness and wellness.

There are many sources of advice for living a healthy life. Not everyone is an expert in health and wellness, however. When you are first trying to make healthy choices in your life, look to a health expert or other trained professional who is knowledgeable about fitness, nutrition, or other health-related topics. You will be given the chance to explain your lifestyle, eating habits, family background and other important life details to the professional; he can, in turn, recommend a dietary routine and fitness regimen that will benefit you.

There are numerous ways to injure yourself while working out. You can bruise yourself from falling or just from doing exercises that may exert too much force on a part of your body. You could pull or strain a muscle while doing a simple exercise. You could, simply, develop soreness and you may not know the reason for it. All of these possibilities are reasons for why you should develop and learn your fitness program with an experienced trainer or other person who has the right expertise in exercise. A fitness expert will develop an exercise routine that is right for your body and will make sure you learn the exercises properly; this greatly reduces the risk of injury.

Your habits help determine how healthy you are. To be healthy, you must take the recommendations and advice of specialists and choose to follow them so that you develop healthy habits. This is another reason why it is good to develop better nutrition and fitness under the eye of a specialist; he can offer the support and encouragement to keep you on track.

Now is the time to get healthy! In the short term, living a healthy lifestyle will make you feel better and make you happier. As you continue to make good nutritious choices about your diet and you exercise regularly, you will notice a better quality of life that will benefit you, as you grow older. Talk to a specialist, develop a plan, and get healthier today.
