A Better Life



Five simple habits can help you change your life for the better! Take your time. Adopt a new habit each week for the next several weeks. And stick with it! You'll soon realize how some of the benefits of better health and fitness!

1. Eat healthy foods - preferably 4 to 6 smaller meals a day. Eating more often helps your metabolism. Enjoy an occasional treat. Just try to keep a majority of your food choices healthy. Enjoy good, natural foods that are high in nutrients, fiber, "good fats," and lean protein. Get some protein early in the day.

2. Sleep at least seven hours every night. Try to get on a schedule and stick with it. Guard your sleep time closely. People who sleep at least seven hours a night tend to enjoy overall better health and are ill less often than those of us who can't seem to find enough time for at least seven hours.

3. Exercise daily and stay active. Too many of us spend a great deal of time sitting—on the couch, at our desks, in the car. But the human body was meant to move, stretch, expand, and engage. So take a walk, go for a jog or a bike ride. Get a jump rope, or do some push-ups and jumping jacks.

4. Go dancing! Stay out on that dance floor all night if you can. Don't dance much? Take a lesson or two. Check out a square dance club in your town - or start one! Let the fun times roll and watch your metabolism soar!

5. Try a new sport - or two! Enjoy the variety and make some new friends!
