Healthy Living Tips 7 Healthy Living Tips 1. Eat in Moderation Every day take one small step towards eating healthier foods in reasonable portions. Get thin quick diets are not healthy. Healthy eating involves every day choices. So choose one meal at a time, one day at a time. 2. Increase your activity If you can walk, swim, bike etc. Just do it. Start with one small change a week. Go from no walks to one small walk a week, from no exercise to one 15 minutes of physical activity a week of your choice then increase it to two times a week. It is not the length of time that counts but being consistent. Don't take on more than you are able to do right from the beginning. Start slow and increase a week at a time. If you were to walk a 15 minute interval a day it would add up to 91.5 hours a year or about 4lbs less (if you calculate that you would eat the same amount of food without increasing) that's 40 lbs lighter in the span of ten years! Now we know how the extra weight snuck up on us. 3. Talk about things Keeping things in is deadly. Bitterness, frustration, resentment, stress all release harmful chemicals in the body. 4. Forgive Forgive for your health's sake. 5. Pray Sharing your burdens with God and bringing Him your concerns in prayer is wonderful for your health. Many studies have been done recently on the power of prayer. If you haven't read it yet, read “The Prayer of Jabez”. 6. Be a friend Helping others and being kind is great for your health. Besides just being nice it promotes feelings of happiness and reduces stress. When we focus on others, we stop worrying so much about ourselves. 7.
Be patient with yourself, healthy living is a new habit to grow into.
