Everyone wants nothing more than to lead an overall healthy lifestyle. The key word here is "lifestyle", not to be confused with "diet". In starting out, please remember that this is not something that can be done overnight. Take baby steps. Slowly transition bad habits out of your life, diet etc and replace them with healthier choices overall. Start by exercising a few days each and every week and commit to that. Thats your time! If your not sure what to do, read every health magazine, books, articles, whatever you can get your hands on.
