Have you done anything healthy today? Most people tend to forget
even the basic task to improve their overall health. Nothing is more
important than your health. So get into tip-top shape by following these
quick and easy health tips:
Drink water throughout the day. Most of us forget water is vital for good health as it makes up about 60 percent of our body composition. You can survive for a few days without food but you cannot live for a day without water. Doctors recommend drinking at least eight or more glasses of water each day. Water hydrates the skin; therefore it aids in reducing the signs of aging. Water also aids in your digestion, prevents unpleasant medical complications, and increases your energy level.
Sleep smarter. A British study found that getting less than six or more than nine hours of sleep per night can double your risk of an early death. Aim for at least seven to eight hours of sleep.
Break a sweat. Getting at least 30 minutes of exercise each day is enough to keep you from getting overweight or obese, improve your cardiovascular health, control your blood pressure, improve your responses to stress, improve your overall mental health, and give you enough energy to tackle your daily tasks.
Drink tea in the morning. Instead of your morning coffee routine, why not replace it with tea? A study by the International Journal of Cancer shows hot tea can reduce the risk of kidney cancer by 15 percent.
Don't skip breakfast. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. If you skip breakfast, your blood sugar level will drop; thus, you won't have enough energy for the day. Believe it or not, taking breakfast rather than skipping it, helps you lose more weight.
Steam your vegetables. The proper way to cook vegetables is steaming them. That's because boiling removes most of the nutrients.
Eat balanced meals. Balanced meals consist of protein, fat, fiber, and carbohydrates. These should be included in every meal. For example, if you love eating hamburgers make it to a point to eat fruits and vegetables, too. Eating hamburgers alone won't give you the nutrients your body should have to sustain your daily nutritional requirements.
Avoid saturated fats. Avoid food with high levels of saturated fat such as red meat and butter. Saturated fat contains high levels of LDL or "bad" cholesterol which can make you obese, and increase your chances of developing heart disease. You also are prone to developing breast, colon, and prostate cancer if you have high levels of saturated fats.
Drink red wine. Red wine contains antioxidants and properties that release HDL or "good" cholesterol. High-Density Lipoproteins (HDL) are considered "good" cholesterol because they mop up excess cholesterol in your blood. HDL takes extra cholesterol back to your liver where it is broken down. Take red wine in moderation to increase HDL levels.
