Tips To Live A Healthier & Happier Life

Living a happier and healthier lifestyle does not have to be buried in a gym routine of 2 hours a day...

Everything needs to be in balance. For some of us, that 2 hour a day gym routine is a lifestyle, but for others...this may not be the case. It is important to realize that you must establish what goals you have for your own health.The following tips give you a good platform to base your lifestyle...make proactive changes and improve your health.

1.
Activity should be a daily occurrence. Walk, run or jump for a minimum total of 20-30 minutes a day.

2. Protect your skin. Sun block should be applied on face, neck, arms and hands even in the dead of winter. It protects against climatic toxins too. Make sure it covers UVA & UVB rays. Moisturize your skin daily.

3. Eat fruits, vegetables, grains, low-fat dairy products and small amounts of protein. Avoid sweets and other processed foods. Read your labels and stay away from "high fructose corn syrup". If possible, purchase a juice machine and drink raw vegetable juice at least once a day. Adjunct your diet with a high quality vitamin mineral complex.

4. Meditate or spend a minimum of five minutes daily in quiet time reflecting how much you have to be thankful for.

5. Find your spiritual self. Discover what inspires you, raises your level of consciousness, motivates you, and satisfies your soul. Involve yourself in some type of charity.

6. Exercise your brain. Read, study, solve problems, and learn new skills. As does the body, the brain atrophies with lack of use. This also helps to keep you emotionally in balance.

7. Hug somebody. The power of the human touch and affection has long been proven to release endorphins as well as serotonin, which improves your emotional well-being.

These tips, though simple and easy to perform, are often left forgotten in our busy lifestyles. If they are heeded, you will live a happier, healthier, and more productive lifestyle with less illness, as well as less stress. A simple way to Empower Yourself Daily...
