Living a Healthy Life

In the fast-paced world we live in, it can be easy to neglect our health and wellness. We’re so busy with daily life—family, friends, work, and social engagements—that we often don't take the time to care for ourselves. No wonder many of us feel tired and run down. Here are some simple tips to improve your quality of life.

Drink More Water

You've heard it a million times, but it's crucial—drink more water! The human body is 72% water. A 5% drop in fluids leads to a 25-30% loss in energy. At a 15% drop, death occurs! Currently, 66% of us don't drink enough water, so most people aren’t functioning at their best. Just drink one glass of water every half hour, or 10-12 glasses per day, and you’ll see a significant increase in your energy levels.

Living Food, Loving Life

Heating food above 116°F destroys much of its nutrient content. Considering that most of us don’t eat enough veggies, this is a substantial problem. Nutritionists recommend five servings of fresh vegetables per day. How many of us follow this advice?

A great way to get nutrients without spending all day cooking or eating raw veggies is to juice them. Make sure you have a good juicer, grab some fresh vegetables, and drink your way to better health. It's quick, convenient, and you can even take your juice to work or give some to your kids for school.

Exercise: Energy In, Energy Out

Exercise doesn’t have to be time-consuming or boring. Today, gyms offer a variety of classes—yoga, Pilates, dance, step classes, and more. If you can’t afford a gym or prefer to stay home, try an exercise bike or walker. Set it up in front of the TV and pedal away during your favorite shows.

If you’re unfit or unwell, start slowly. For the first few weeks, walk or ride for just 5 minutes a day. Gradually increase your activity by a few minutes every week. This method helps your body adjust without feeling overwhelmed, and soon you’ll be comfortably exercising within your limits.

Final Tips

• Better Eating Habits: Rearrange your life to allow for healthier eating.
• Drink Water: Remember to drink a glass of water every half hour.
• Take Quiet Time: Meditate for 5 minutes a day, even if it’s in the shower.
• Laugh: Laugh loudly and often. It can significantly lift your spirits.

By incorporating these tips, you’ll be on your way to living a healthier life.
