Dr. Pedro Andrade, one of the pioneers in precision medicine in Brazil and a functional medicine enthusiast, teaches how to start in 2023 with a new lifestyle.

Starting a healthier diet or creating an exercise routine is part of the New Year's checklist for most people, and it is a fundamental goal, far beyond aesthetics, these habits help us to have a good quality of life and that our body function at its full capacity.
For those who still don't know where to start, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/drpedroandrade/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Pedro Andrade,</a> one of the pioneers in precision medicine in Brazil and a functional medicine enthusiast, teaches how this start should be. &ldquo;There is this doubt about what to do first: diet or physical activity? Despite being a combination of these two elements that will bring a more satisfactory and lasting result, I recommend <a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/soul-spirituality/healthy-knees-a-simple-exercise-can-reduce-pain" target="_blank" rel="noopener">physical activity</a> in the first place&rdquo; , he says.

According to the expert, when it comes to creating a new lifestyle with <a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/food/eat-healthier-thats-how-to-make-the-good-resolutions" target="_blank" rel="noopener">healthier habits</a>, physical exercise can be a determining factor due to the chemical scenario created in our brain. &ldquo;Among other important roles that physical activity plays in our brain, it increases the density of dopamine and serotonin receptors in response to pain and physical exertion. This improves <a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/fashion/15-spring-work-outfit-ideas-that-will-boost-your-motivation" target="_blank" rel="noopener">motivation</a>, resilience and promotes better choices throughout the day, which can even reflect on food&rdquo; , he explains.
Still according to Dr. Pedro, just thirty minutes of any moderate physical activity a day already creates a chemical environment that provides several benefits to health and well-being. "A tip to start exercising in a light and pleasant way is to choose an activity that you like and that fits into your routine. It doesn't necessarily have to be going to the gym. A walk in the morning or at the end of the day, exercises at home, a fight, dance classes in the style you've always wanted to learn. Everything is valid, the important thing is to take the first step&rdquo;.
The expert also emphasizes the importance of maintaining the frequency of the chosen activity, until it becomes part of the routine. &ldquo;If your goal is a change in behavior, the practice of exercises helps a lot, but it must be done correctly. It is important to be constant and remember that our body takes about two months to understand a task as a habit, so if your goal is to reach 2023 with healthier practices, the time to start is now&rdquo;, he concludes.

Remembering that it&#39;s always important to see a doctor and get regular exams. Pedro Andrade - Doctor CRM 174,700
