Yes, you are on the way and that is best of all! So many people are still not on the way, so do take it step by step, do your exercises and eat fresh fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts and seeds. And every so often a bit of meat, egg and fish. That will give you a good start, especially if you leave out of ready made meals, junk and fun food, cakes etc.

Sounds terrible? - Not to me. I live a very healthy lifestyle and I'm healthy at the age of 56. So it's worth it, I say.

I think it is a great decision that you want to live a healthy lifestyle and be healthy in your old age. It is possible, my father got to 100 years old in good health and he's been through the war and the bad times afterwards. Yet, he always ate small quantities and fresh, healthy meals that my mother cooked, although they both could have afforded to buy more. And my brother and I were brought up like that, so it probably wasn't too difficult for us to "carry on", but I will admit that I often failed on the exercise in fresh air. Just recently I've taken to make firewood and I really like it. It's not too hard to do, just a little bit hard and so that's ok.

Positive thinking, fresh food and exercise on fresh air will give you a healthy life as well!
