10 Tips for Staying Fit and Healthy!
Here are ten tips for for staying fit and healthy…
1. Staying fit and healthy starts with a balanced diet. Know and monitor the right weight for your age. Consult your doctor to learn what food you should avoid and follow your eating discipline routines. If you are trying to lose some weight, foods with high calories should be omitted from your meals. Food with high fiber and low fat should be included a priority in your grocery list instead of red meat, sugars and fats.
2. Drink plenty of water. Drinking at least eight glasses of water everyday. This cleanses the body from impurities.
3. Take Vitamins and Supplements. Do not forget your Calcium supplement. Sufficient Calcium intake is beneficial, especially for women. This has been proven to prevent having cramps and PMS symptoms. It also prevents Osteoporosis especially for menopausal women. Vitamin E boosts strong immune system and is said to be best in avoiding wrinkles when aging.
4. Quit smoking. If you are smoking, stop. Recent studies have shown that women smokers are more prone to diseases than men smokers (although men should quit smoking too) and women who smoke have a higher risk of getting breast cancer. Also limit your alcohol intake.
5. Incorporate exercises in your daily routine. Take a walk after work, use stairs instead of elevator or play with your kids when you are at home. Home exercises are also effective especially when you do not have time to go to the gym and would like to lose some weight. Yoga and Pilates are only a few of the many effective exercises you can do at home. Exercises help in limiting the risk of cardiovascular diseases.
6. Avoid stress. Stress has been known as cause to many sicknesses. As much as possible take time to relax. Read a good book, hang out with friends and engage into sports. Pamper yourself by going to spas or you can do some shopping. And do not forget to get enough sleep to revive your energy.
7. Use sunscreen to protect your skin from the harmful rays of the sun. Wear hats when out in the sun to protect your skin. Too much sun is bad for your skin. The skin is prone to cancer when exposed to too much sunlight. It also speeds up the aging of skin cells, which causes wrinkles.
8. Make sure to visit your dentist to keep that beautiful smile. Regular appointments to have your teeth cleaned prevents cavities and the need for those dreaded root canals.
9. Make sure you have physical exam annually.
10. Practice safe sex. Use condoms to prevent sexually transmitted diseases. Know your partner.

Great tips Brenda. I especially like number 6 about stress. Stress plays a huge role in our health, physical health as well as mental health. Number 5 is on exercise and I like to exercise in the morning, it seems to help relieve stress. The energy used might make some think it would make us tired all day but it’s just the opposite. I’m a lot more alert with a lot less stress after a morning workout.

A good tip for staying fit and healthy is: No alcohol or drugs, or, if you are addicted to a substance to seek treatment. I think that we shouldn’t promote alcohol or drug consumption.
hello there. I’d say stop smoking is a priority as this destroys your life. Finding replacement for cigarettes is very important.
Boy it’s hard work to keep a healthy life on the top of a hard working schedule.
