Key of Healthy Life

If you are not feeling 100% then chances are a couple of these keys will make an amazing difference in your life!

1.WATER
Our bodies need 8 glasses (2 Litres) of pure water a day
Tea, coffee, juice, flavoured waters do not count!
TIP: Have a sipper bottle with you all day ? that way it is beside you when you need it and you can make sure you are getting 8 glasses (2 Litres) a day.
TIP: Have 2 glasses of water with a squeeze of lemon first thing in the morning to clear out your system

2.Enjoy regular family meals
 This allows parents to serve as good role models, can promote more nutritious eating, and sets the stage for lively conversations. Being connected to family and/or friends is a powerful aspect of a healthy life.

3.REST
Most people generally need 8 hours per night
If you are not waking feeling refreshed and rested you need to get to bed earlier
A consistent sleep pattern is good for the body ? the same time to bed each night
TIP: Some experts say the hours before midnight are worth double for sleep. Get to bed earlier if you can.

4.Get a pedometer and let it motivate you to walk, walk, walk
Forget about how many minutes of activity you need; just do everything you can to fit more steps into your day. No matter how you get it, physical activity can help defuse stress, burn calories, and boost self-esteem.

5.AIR
Good clean air is necessary for your body.
Breath deeply and slowly. Many people are fast shallow breathers
The optimal number of breaths per minute is around 6-10. If you breathe faster than this you need to focus on slowing down.
As much as possible get out into the county and breath fresh, clean air.
TIP: Sleep with the window open and you will get a better nights sleep.
TIP: Take 10 big breaths when you get up in the morning to oxygenate your blood!

6.Power up the protein
This nutrient is an essential part of your eating plan, and can make up anywhere from 10%-35% of your total calories. Protein lasts a long time in your belly; combine it with high-fiber foods and you'll feel full on fewer calories. Enjoy small portions of nuts, low-fat dairy, beans, lean meat, poultry, or fish.

7.NUTRITION
This is all about putting great quality fresh alive foods into your body.
Make sure a large proportion (ideally 50-70%) of your diet is fresh/raw fruit and vegetables in their natural state
Eat a variety of foods and cut down on red meats
Avoid fried foods, fatty foods
TIP: Eating slowly causes saliva to aid the digestion process which results in better absorption of vitamins and minerals and also less stress.
