Healthy Living Advice
You don't have to take a walk at dusk or just eat a salad every day to be healthy. With a few small changes, you can feel healthier, happier and more energetic. 12 tips for a healthy life:
1) move for 30 minutes
Walk, jump rope, swim, run, bike or exercise for 30 minutes every day. You will feel your mind, body and waist area relax.
2) Prioritize getting enough sleep
The more you neglect your sleep, the worse your health will be. Take care to sleep 6-9 hours a day to reduce the risk of disease, lose weight, and feel energetic during the day.
3) Drink water
You can calculate your daily water requirement by multiplying your weight by 30.
4) Eat consciously
Eating slowly is important for being aware of what you're eating and enjoying your meal. When considering what to eat, choose healthy food alternatives.
5) Count your steps
Try to reach 10,000 steps a day with the pedometer application you will download to your phone.
6) Add greenery
Add greens to everything you eat. Greens have zero calories and make you feel better by boosting your digestion.
7) Think positive
Get rid of negative thoughts for a day or an hour. Stretching exercises can help.
8) Nuts are snacks
Instead of empty-calorie potato chips or biscuits, choose nuts for snacks. Nuts keep you full for a long time and help slimming in the waist area.
9) stand up
Sitting all the time raises blood pressure, negatively affecting your health. Make sure to stand up whenever you can.
10) Remove carbonated drinks
Fizzy drinks, including diet products, adversely affect health. Opt for flavored water instead of carbonated drinks.
11) Preliminary preparation
This Sunday, slice fruit and vegetables and put them in the closet. It's a snack during the week.
12) Apply the 80/20 rule
Eat healthy 80% of the day. Eat a balanced diet by avoiding 20%.
