You Want to Keep Healthy

This is the Step

1. Eat between 3 and 5 meals a day. Stick to portions and you will be hungry when your body is ready for the next meal. Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner are meals you cannot go without, otherwise your body does not receive the nutrition it's supposed to get.

2. Sleep about 7-8 hours every night. Dont sleep too much or too little. #Don't overdo Carbs! Makes sure you eat a limited amount of carbohydrates each day. Don't go without them, just don't eat a lot of them.

3. Exercise. You can't live without it. Make sure you spend around 30 minutes to an hour doing nothing but some running, weight lifting, push ups, and maybe some sort of aerobic exercise is good.

4. Nutrition is key. Eat a balanced diet. By doing so, you'll have a healthy heart, healthy brain, and a fully functional immune system. Also, it's good to have variety.

5. Vitamins are a necessary part of any healthy diet. Our food is lacking in many essential vitamins and minerals because of over farming so it's a good idea to replace these missing essentials with a daily multivitamin. Claims that vitamins may be harmful have not been backed by any kind of scientific evidence.

6. Quit smoking and do not drink alcohol. Smoking can cause bronchitis and respiratory disease, and alcohol can cause laziness, fatigue, and maybe even an abnormal blood pressure.

7. Monday is recovering day! If you are having a hard time starting a healthy habit or giving up an unhealthy one, try using Monday as the day to recommit to your new routine. Healthy Monday is a national public health campaign in association with Columbia University’s Mailman School of Public Health that makes Monday the day for all things healthy. It can be the day to recommit to eating healthier, start exercising, or quit smoking.

8. Keep clean! Good hygiene is key! Wash your hands after you've gone to do your business. Good oral hygiene is also very valuable. Brush your teeth around 2-3 times a day.

9. Drink 6-12 glasses of water each day. It keeps your skin moist and will keep you from becoming dehydrated.
