Healthwise- Habits to Keep a Healthy Lifestyle



Healthy lifestyle is a necessary norm for today's living. We are constantly grueling on the knowledge that we are living a sedentary life. That's when we then realize that we must be loosing grasps of all the much needed attention on health.

Eating is not a problem when it is done properly and on a proper amount. It is a must that we eat what can be termed as healthy foods, the ones rich in fiber and vitamins to combat certain diseases that may arise anytime in our life. This is not only beneficial to us but being consciously health wise, is also money wiser. If we don't take good care of our health, we can not only enjoy what others do, but practicality comes..."we save ourselves from diseases and other cause of heath risks and we won't have to see bills on medications as well"

I have here some healthy options and regimen that might interest those who are health-conscious.

1. Do Exercise(Movements)- it is not really important that you must do exercise, but if you try to do some chores that would start to make you move or walk, is a good start. Try doing this when you are cleaning your home. Going from one place to another that is walking distance, or even climbing stairs not to use elevators or escalators. This is also good when you love to play outdoor games that uses more of you reflexes.

2. Eat well. It is not that important that you must follow a dietary program. You can simply do this by being conscious of your food intakes. Eat more fruits and vegetables. Cereals, legumes, fish and other sea foods are also good sources of vitamins. Less calories, cut on your dairy food intakes. You can also watch your health by noting the labels(nutritional values) on those grocery items you buy.

3. Quit Bad habits like smoking - This is not too bad, after all you just want to make sure that you live a good and healthy life. You can start by reducing your use of cigarette/tobacco. This is also a good move on your part, since you won't be too harsh on your person to person contact and on the environment , one thing that leads to stoppage of pollution as well.

4. De stress yourself- This is another thing that some are used to abuse, because of too much pressure and problems, some tend to eat more than what is necessary, eating their way from the stress their going through. Instead of doing this, why not make yourself busy, like doing some household work, snatch some dresses that needs mending or work on your thoughts( you can write, paint, knit, or try taking pictures) just so to stray your thoughts from foods .

5. Limit your drinking sessions- Although recent studies show a glass of wine or one drink a day (two for men) can help protect against heart disease, more than that can cause other health problems such as liver and kidney disease or cancer. Try to avoid commitments that you know will lead you to overdo habitual drinking.



6. Water Intake- Already proven in several studies that water is a good form of therapy for anybody. Sometimes, we tend to misconceive our feeling of thirst from being hungry.
Drink as much water as possible to dispose of toxins from our body.
