How to Stay Happy and Healthy
Everyone is interested in being happy and healthy! These tips will definitely help you feel better about yourself. Remember that staying healthy does not have to be complicated. You don’t need to spend money, buy books, or invest in crazy fitness machines! Sit back, relax, and read these tips.
1. Breathe! Daily stress makes people tense and they tend to hold it in. By being aware of your breath, you are able to release that stress and relax. Take slow deep breaths.
2. Get some sun. The sun is a great source of Vitamin D. It’s good to get about ten minutes of direct sun (without sunscreen) each day. Because mid-day sun is very harsh, stand out in the morning.
3. Drink water every day-are bodies are 60-70% water! Not only does water get rid of toxins, but it also carries nutrients. It is important to stay hydrated, and sometimes when you are hungry, you may actually be thirsty. Try adding a little maple syrup, lemon, or lime for flavor.
4. Exercise. You can walk, run, or go to the gym. Thirty minutes of exercise a day is great. You might like to try yoga, pilates, or tai chi. Find a friend to exercise with, and they will also help you to stay motivated.
5. Laugh alot. Laughing relieves stress and makes you feel great.
6. Fresh fruits and vegetables are very important. Fruits and veggies are low in calories and a great source of vitamins and minerals. When possible, choose organic for the following reasons: they are not genetically modified, are higher in nutrients, and are not sprayed with conventional pesticides. Try to incorporate superfoods (foods with many health benefits) into your diet such as flax seeds, spirulina, olives, avocados, blueberries, cacao, bee pollen, aai, maca, aloe vera, and noni fruit.
Remember, stay positive. You are meant to have a wonderful life, so enjoy YOUR life.
