Steps to Leading a Healthy Life

In order to live a healthy life you must make the right choices each day.  To stay healthy, it is important that you eat the right foods and get plenty of exercise.

One of the most important meals of the day is breakfast.  By starting your day off with a nutritious healthy practice, you will find that you will have more energy and stamina to get through the day.

Each day for breakfast, it is a good idea to drink a glass of orange juice with added calcium and take a good multivitamin for your age group and gender.  There are many multivitamin choices out there, but each person has different needs, so be sure to read the labels before choosing the right one for you.

Make sure to eat a good high-fiber cereal.  This helps to ensure that you meet your daily requirements for fiber, which will keep your digestive system working right, and your colon clean.  Have a serving or two fruits or make a nice fruit smoothie with protein powder to keep your energy up.

Make sure to take some good nutritious snacks to work with you.  You could take baby carrots, celery sticks, and an apple to keep you from snacking on junk food during the day.

When you choose bread for making your sandwich for lunch, choose whole grain breads.  Instead of using mayonnaise on your sandwich, you could replace it with honey mustard, which has very little calories and no fat.

If you have a job where you sit at your desk all day, then try to figure out ways to get up and walk around every hour to keep your circulation in your legs.  You can also do stretching exercises at your desk.

When you take your lunch break, try to walk for 10 to 15 minutes after lunch.  Before going back to work, why not do a few breathing exercises to help you relieve stress and clear your mind?

Take time each day to do something that you enjoy.  Even if you only have 10 minutes to spare, doing something that you enjoy each day will help to reduce stress and make you feel better all around.

Make sure that you get at least seven to eight hours of sleep every night.  Your body needs to be recharged in order to keep going.  Lack of sleep can cause you to feel stressed and tired during the day, which makes it hard to feel good.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Our body is a machine for living. It is organized for that,
it is its nature. Let life go on in it unhindered and let
it defend itself, it will do more than if you paralyze it
by encumbering it with remedies.

~ Leo Tolstoy
