Six Keys To Healthier Living

“Healthy living” is a term that intimidates most
people. The assumption is that healthy living means
giving up all the things you like and being a fitness
freak. Healthy living is a goal, and so maybe the
better term would be “healthier living”.What is
healthier living? It is taking whatever you are doing a
step in the right direction.” This means eating an
apple sometimes instead of a doughnut. It doesn’t
mean you will stop eating doughnuts, it just means
you will make better choices sometimes.
Here are six keys to healthier living:
1. It means eating better by eating more whole and
natural foods and fewer processed ones. For example,
eat less refined tomato paste and more fresh
tomatoes, among other things.
2. Healthier living means choosing water over sugar
laden carbonated drinks.
3. It means exercising regularly, which for most
people means forcing themselves to get out of the
chair and start moving.
4. Healthier living means going to bed earlier and
aiming for 8 hours of solid sleep. Like I said, it’s a
goal. But it is a goal that is far easier to reach when
you turn off the TV.
5. Healthier living means reducing chemical exposure.
Be careful of the kinds of body lotions you use and of
foods with a lot of extra preservatives and chemicals.
6. It means finding ways to reduce stress, which for
one person might be taking time off work for a
vacation and for another might be starting a new
hobby. Find what works for you.
Perhaps most importantly, healthier living means that
you are doing better today than you did yesterday.
And so that means it is never too late to start. It
might seem like an intimidating task but if you take
little tiny steps and make small changes day-by-day
and week-by-week, it really is doable. And you’ll feel
better. And one day, you’ll go from aiming to be
healthier to just being healthy.
