Easy
suggestions to help improve your health and fitness
 | Try to get approximately 8 hours of sleep
per night. This time needs vary due to the effects of stress, exercise,
etc. "Early To Bed Early To Rise

|
| Juice at least once per day. My base for
juicing is carrots and apples, then I add a variety of other fruits and
vegetables. Fruits like pineapple, oranges, kiwi, and mangos give juice
a good bang of flavor! I usually juice in the morning.
|
| Eat raw salad at least once per day-- a
combination of green leafy spinach, tomatoes, and chopped carrots is a
good start. Experiment with other vegetables like squash and broccoli. I
usually have a salad for lunch and cooked vegetables for dinner.
|
| Limit consumption of meat and severely
reduce or eliminate processed foods, salty or sugary snacks. Replace
these with healthy snacks like whole grained cereals, yogurt, or nuts
and raisins.
|
| A favorite concoction of mine that I
drink at least twice per day-- especially when I'm feeling ill. Here's
the recipe: Add to one cup of water 2 tbs apple cider vinegar, plus 1/4
tsp cayenne pepper, stir well. Google cayenne pepper and apple cider
vinegar for more information.
|
| Exercise at least twenty to thirty
minutes per day. Try to include strength training, like push-ups and
crunches, in your weekly routine. Easy day, hard day, take a break when
you need it, and never give up despite setbacks.
|
| Avoid drama and conflicts with people as
much as possible. Limit or avoid company with miserable, disgruntled,
angry people who have a hopeless outlook on life. Be a positive
influence yourself and find something to laugh at each day.
|
| Cultivate healthy productive, quiet
hobbies like writing, reading, and art-- as opposed to being on the
computer all day. Avoid all work and no play-- and include family as
much as possible in your recreation. |
