Tips to Staying Healthy and Happy

Everyone is interested in being happy and healthy! These tips will definitely help you feel better about yourself. Remember that staying healthy does not have to be complicated. You don't need to spend money, buy books, or invest in crazy fitness machines! Sit back, relax, and read these tips.

1. Breathe. Daily stress can cause your body to tense up, and you may not even be aware of it. Breathing helps you relax and release stress. Spend a few minutes taking slow, deep breaths.

2. Get out in the sun. You will get all the Vitamin D you need from the sun. If you get ten minutes of sun a day (without sunscreen) you will be all set. Try to get sun in the morning because it is not as harsh as afternoon sun.

3. Drink plenty of water-our bodies are 60-70% water. Water is important because it allows your body to get rid of toxins, and it also carries nutrients. When you are hungry, you may actually be thirsty. You can flavor your water with a little maple syrup, lemon, or lime.

4. Get out and exercise. Whether you are walking, running, or using machines, stay active. Try to get thirty minutes of exercise a day. Some people also enjoy yoga, pilates, or tai chi. To make exercising more fun, invite a friend; a friend will also help you stay motivated.

5. Laugh alot. Laughing relieves stress and makes you feel great.

6. Eat more fruits and vegetables. They are rich in vitamins and minerals, and also low in calories. Choose organic food as often as possible for the following reasons: they are higher in nutrients, are not sprayed with conventional pesticides, and are not genetically modified. Eat superfoods (foods with many health benefits) such as blueberries, cacao, bee pollen, aai, maca, aloe vera, noni fruit, flax seeds, spirulina, olives, and avocados.

Be positive. Enjoy everything you do, this is YOUR life.
