Everyone of us wants to be fit, healthy, and live a long active life. Right? But what do you do for it?
Well, we all know, that a healthy person
doesn’t smoke, is at a healthy weight, exercises and eats healthy.
Sounds simple, but those who have tried changing their habits know how
difficult it could be. Some people decide to make drastic changes, but
when they face the difficulties, they just lack motivation and give up.
1. Drink a Glass of Water in the Morning

2. Sleep Enough
Lack of sleep makes you feel tired and angry, you can’t concentrate your attention. Lack of sleep can damage your physical health (especially heart) as well .
Some studies have shown that 8 hours of sleep per 24-hour period is the
average requirement for adults. But all people are different
and need
for sleep can range from 6 to 10 hours. If you feel sleepy during 4pm
and 6pm, you probably do not get enough rest.

3. Stretch in the Morning!
Instead of snoozing in the morning, you
can use your time more wisely. Stretch your back, your legs, your neck.
It will wake your body from sleep. Stretching in the morning increases
blood flow to your muscles providing an extra shot of oxygen and
preparing them for a new day.

4. Snack the Healthy Way
Potato chips, salted nuts, candies,
cookies and other tasty stuff are definitely unhealthy for your body.
They contain lots of fat, salt, sugar. Choose raw nuts, fresh fruits or
berries instead, they are rich in vitamins and minerals.

5. Eat Breakfast!
Breakfast is the most important meal of
the day, especially for you weight loss seekers. If you skip it, you’ll
get hungry long before lunch and will start snacking on foods that are
high in fat and sugar, but low in vitamins. Researchers at the 2003
American Heart Association conference reported that breakfast eaters are
significantly less likely to be obese and get diabetes compared with
nonbreakfast eaters.

It’s enough to get up only 15minutes earlier to fix a healthy dish, like omelette with vegetables or fruit salad with yogurt.
6. Take a Daily Walk
We all know about the advantages of
physical activity, but most of us have neither time, nor desire to
exercise. Use the stairs as often as possible instead of the elevator,
take a walk with your friends, walk your dog a bit longer, than usually –
use any possibility to be more physically active. Researchers say, that
people only need to walk up to 12 miles per week or for about 125 to
200 minutes per week to improve their heart health[3]

7. Make Social Connections.
It is said that lonely people are more likely to become ill and die younger.
People who have no friends are more stressed, depressed and often less
physically active. Moreover, experts say that how socially connected a
person tends to be is one of the most important ways of predicting his health and independence in later years

8. Study Ingredient Lists of Your Favorite Products.
Product’s ingredient list is very
important as it shows you whether the food you’re about to buy contains
unnatural and unhealthy ingredients. There are hundreds, maybe even
thousands of unhealthy ingredients on the market and it is almost
impossible to remember all of them. Luckily, you can find a lot of
information on the Internet about them, so study all of your favorite
and most common foods, cosmetics and other products you buy. Harmful
ingredients may cause various diseases, allergic reactions and even
cancer.

9. Find New Activities!
Pick up a new activity involving the
whole family and friends such as hiking, group sports, skiing or riding a
bicycle. Finding a hobby can give you the enjoyment and reduce stress.
You’ll also start meeting people who have the same interests as you and
may make some new friends ( remember the #7 advise). Enjoy your new
hobby and remember – happy people live longer!

10. Love Your Life!
Relax! Don’t get nervous and angry
because of the trivial things. Don’t be too serious. Smile, love others,
and always look on the bright side of life!
