Top Thirty Quick and Easy Health Tips

About

Food and Nutrition

• Along with fresh veggies and fruits, eat slim meats (if you're not a vegetarian), nuts, seeds (sprouts) and salads.
• Opt for fresh, seasonal and local produce over exotic foodstuff imported over ridiculous distances.
• Make sure you get a balanced diet, as often as possible.

• Drink water - you need to stay hydrated. Not only is it good for your internal organs, but is also good for your skin, as it keeps your skin healthy and prevents acne.

• To determine your water requirement, divide your weight (in pounds) by two. This gives the daily ounce-recommendation.
• Cut down on caffeine and caffeinated and aerated beverages.
• Limit alcohol intake. Tobacco and drugs should be an absolute 'No'.

Steer clear of sugar, stimulants and processed food.

• Maintain a healthy body weight.

Exercise

• Exercise at least four days a week for 20 to 30 minutes each day. If it's not possible at a go, break your workouts into smaller sessions.

• Try to get as much physical activity as you can. Skip the elevator and take the stairs, walk to the supermarket instead of hunting for parking space.
• Wake up early to practice simple meditation. It harmonizes body, mind and soul.

• Doing household chores also counts as activity.
• Pets can be a great source for your exercise. Especially, a dog. Walking dogs, caring for them involves good amounts of physical activity.
• If exercising alone bores you out, hook up with a partner or friend who is committed to exercise. The fun factor will also let you stay committed.
• Exercise also works as an outlet for pent-up stress. So, keep exercising, especially when you've got work bearing down on you.

General Health

Get adequate rest daily. Don't deprive yourself of sleep for extended periods of time.

• If you're on medication for an illness, ensure that you follow the course all the way through.
• Skin, teeth, hair, nails are all indicators of general health. Loss of hair or lack of luster may mean poor nutrition.
• Make friends with your family physician. Get regular check-ups done.
• Watch out for major signs of illnesses, especially cancer, heart disease etc. Early detection is the key to prevention.
• When it comes to healthy living, even little things count. Like eye health. Make sure you rest them well. They'll serve you for a long time.
• Take care of your teeth. Dental health has been linked, among other things, to premature heart disease.

• Try to get all your nutrition from the food you eat. If you aren't getting it though, multivitamins and nutritional supplements are a good option.
• Get your vitamin D from the sun. But, stay UV-protected.

Health and Happiness

• Slow and deep breathing is a good counter to stressful situations. Practice it.
• Surround yourself with positive energy and a strong social circle. Good vibes translate into good moods.
• Engage in social work. Do things for the less-privileged.
• Work on your looks, but don't get obsessed. Pamper yourself occasionally.
• Believe in your abilities. Work on your shortcomings. Life is a continuous self-help program.
