healthy living tips

I've always been talking about healthy living has changed my life for the better so I want to share what's been working for me in the past six months. I will not use numbers because these aren't in order anyway.

• Eat right. Try to avoid too much sweets and softdrinks- and alcohol for that matter. It doesn't necessarily mean staying off food that you love, but eat those in moderation.
• Have protein in every meal. You have a lot of choices for protein such as fish, chicken, beef, pork, lamb, veal etc. You can also make a protein shake if you like.
  
• Don't forget the colors. I mean vegetables such as your green leaves, orange carrots, red and green peppers, yellow squash, purple eggplant, etc. And fruits, of course!
  
• Exercise at least 30 minutes, three times a week. Do it daily if you can.
• Take multivitamins and fish oil every day if you will go on a lose weight diet. These supplements will aid the deficiencies in the food you take in. Plus, fish oil made my skin less dry.
• Water, water, water. Make water your new soda or coffee please. I drink a glass of water upon waking up, another glass thirty minutes before and after each meal. I avoid drinking any liquids-save for soup during meal times.
• Get at least 7 to 8 hours of sleep every night. Resting will revive you from the day's daily grind and keeps you young looking too.
• Be happy! Forget the stress, problems and worries. Say a prayer and leave everything up to the One up there and life will surely be smooth sailing.
