			Tips to Healthier Living
  
				 Working to live a longer life shouldn't be work or stressful  but just to the contrary. You should enjoy life and the pursuit  to living better and longer. Here are a few tips that will help  you in that pursuit. They are all simple and, frankly, it will  enhance your life!
  1. Sleep enough. The average American does  not sleep anywhere near enough each night and does  not sleep well enough. Lack of sleep slows down your  metabolism and potentially increases the severity of chronic  diseases such as high blood pressure, diabetes and obesity.
  2. To reduce the risk of potentially disabilitating  diseases such as arthritis, maintain a healthy weight. A good  way to do this i s eat a lot of fiber and always fill 3/4 of your plate  with grains, vegetables, legumes and fruit. The last quarter of  your plate should be meat, chicken or fish. This will keep  your fat intake down and nutrients high. Also, eat early  in the day. Do not make the final meal of the day the largest.  Your largest meal should be lunch. The final meal should  consist of the least food. And always drink plenty of water. Have a glass of water before you begin eating each meal.  This will help your body digest the food quicker and  allow you to eat less.
  3. Always use sunscreen on all parts of your body exposed to  the sun including your lips. Even in the winter and on cloudy  days, it is important. Damaging UV rays can cut straight through  clouds and are amplified by snow in the winter. Radiation  can also damage blood vessels and even inhibit immune  reactions in the skin.
  4. A recent study done at the Harvard Nurses'  School reported by Katie Hansen Bruno, "Women who are all-around health conscious-exercise, eat right,  maintain a normal weight, drink occasionally, and don't  smoke-reduce their chance of heart disease by an amazing 82 percent".
  5. As we age, our bodies are less able to absorb the  nutrients that they need. It is very important to supplement  your body with the nutrients that it needs. The nutrients  that are less able to be absorbed are vitamins D, C, B6, B12  and folic acid as well as many minerals such as zinc. Also  many supplements that are purchased over the counter  are not absorbed very well by the body. Most nutrients  that you intake are washed out of your body without any  absorption. Please contact me if you are interested in receiving  vitamins that are scientifically proven to be absorbed by  your  
				
				
 
				 body.(http://www.moms-connection.com/momsforlife.htm)
  6. Stay healthy by always carrying cleansing hand  gel. You will prevent yourself and those around you from  getting viruses by using hand gel regularly. Also, be sure  to get your flu shot in October every year if you are in a high risk group. High risk groups include those over 50 years old, children with asthma, people with heart or lung diseases or  people that care for others in a high risk group.
  7. Eat fiber!! You have heard it all your life and it  is true. People that fill up on fiber are much less likely to be  overweight than those adults that do not. You will eat less  and have a lower insulin level.
  8. The healthiest foods to eat are the following:  avocados, spinach, broccoli, kale, cantaloupe, carrots, mangos,  pumpkin, red bell peppers, strawberries and sweet potatoes.  Spinach is one of the highest antioxidant foods there is.  It is filled with heart-healthy foliate, vitamin A, potassium, iron, calcium and vitamins C and A.
  9. Do not skip breakfast! Research shows that  eating in the morning will increase your metabolism by  10 to 25 percent.
  10. Walking everyday is an important step to preventing  osteoporosis, improving circulation, increasing the supply  of oxygen to your blood and keeps your joints lubricated.  Exercise is the key to keeping unwanted weight off. Dieting  may take off the same weight but dieters that are not exercising  will not keep it off for the long run. If you only exercise and  not diet, you will lose just as much weight as a dieter but will  keep it off.
  11. Adults lose as much as half their muscle mass  between ages 35 and 70. Using a protein supplement and regular  strength training will stop the loss and even reverse the loss.  It also will prevent the onset of osteoporosis.
  It only takes a few extra pounds to raise the risk of high blood  pressure, high cholesterol and high blood sugar-especially  when these extra pounds around the mid-section. Exercising  for at least 20 minutes-three times a week will keep you fit and get you on the road to a healthier future.
