Health Tips
Here are my top 10 health tips to live by. They are in no particular order. If you could just add a couple of these to your everyday life, you will look and feel better!
GET MOVING
Climb the stairs whenever possible over escalators or elevators. Walk the dog or chase the kids. Short bouts of acitvity can be just as beneficial as an hour-long kickboxing class.
CUT THE FAT
Avoid fried foods, burgers and other fatty meats. Dairy products such as cheese, milk and cream should be eaten in low fat versions.
DRINK WATER
Get at least 64 ounces of water each day. That's eight 8-ounce bottles or four 16-ounce bottles. Drink it all before dinner or you'll be up half the night!
GET A GOOD NIGHT'S SLEEP
Try your best to get 6 to 8 hours of sleep every night. If you are working out on a regular daily schedule then you shouldn't have any trouble getting zzz's.
AVOID EXCESSIVE DRINKING & QUIT SMOKING
We all know that smoking is dangerous for our health period. Excessive drinking is not only bad for our liver and kidney's, but also adds way too many calories to our everyday diet.
REDUCE YOUR STRESS
Want to blow off steam? Grab some punching gloves and hit the bag! Or you can count to ten before losing your temper. Avoid difficult people whenever possible.
R.I.C.E FOR INJURIES
If you are injured, you should find medical attention. While you are waiting for help, however, you can get started on R.I.C.E. It stands or Rest, Ice, Compression and Elevation.
COUNT CALORIES
Did you know that most of us aren't eating enough calories throughout the day to keep our energy levels up? Women need at least 1200 calories a day while men need at least 1500 calories a day.
HEALTHY BONES
Exercise not only helps build muscle, but it also improves the strength of your bones. It is important to get involved in a variety of activities so all parts of your skeleton get a workout.
KEEP A POSITVE ATTITUDE
There's a definitive connection between living well and healthfully and having a cheerful outlook on life.
