Tips to Gain a Healthy Body


Keep on Moving
Some simple tips to gain a healthy body. You need not be a fitness fanatic. If you can use all opportunities to move your body, in your every day life, that in itself would provide sufficient exercise for your body. Choosing stairs when you have elevators/escalators and stairs as choice, playing outdoors with your kids, doing your lawn etc can be good exercise for your body. These activities can keep your mind away from your daily problems and can act as a deterrent also.
Avoid Smoking
Remember that the Marlboro man had a miserable death from lung cancer. He did not find it romantic to die painfully of cancer. So do not start the habit. If you are a smoker, quit right now. This is one of the simplest tips in gaining a healthy body.
Reduce Fat
Try to stay away from fried foods as much as possible. Fast food items are to be used once in a blue moon only. Avoid red meat as much as possible. Use only low fat versions of milk products, mayonnaise, sauces etc. And try to eat smaller portions of food at frequent intervals.
Control Alcohol Consumption
A glass of red wine a day is good for our heart. Not more than that. If you drink too much, that will mess up your liver, kidney, pancreas etc.
Reduce your Exposure to Unhealthy Surroundings
Polluted atmosphere can wreak havoc in your health. Never go out jogging in a busy street with lots of polluting vehicles. Grow some trees in your yard and they can act as a deterrent against pollution to some extent.
Maintain Dental Hygiene
Regular flossing can improve the dental health and this will eventually help you live longer. Strong teeth is known to help their owners eat better and thus to live much longer than others.
Reduce Stress
Try to smile at your life. Keep on thinking about positive things in your life. Singing in your bathroom, walking in the woods, taking a hot shower, watching a funny movie, getting a manicure/pedicure, walking your dog, doing voluntary work etc can are some of the things which can help you significantly in reducing your stress level. Keep the company of people who make you happy.
