Tips to Promote a Healthy and Active Lifestyle

Easy ways to set into a healthy lifestyle: 1. Drink more water Most people don't drink enough water during the day. Water is a need for our bodies to function as over 60% of our body is made up of water. Water carries out our bodily functions such as removing waste and carrying nutrients and oxygen around our body. Because we lose water everyday through urine, bowel movement, perspiration (sweating) and breathing, we need to refill our bodies with water. 2. Get enough sleep Getting a good amount of sleep is important as your body needs a break. Sleep is involved in the healing and repair of your heart and blood vessels. It reduces stress and helps clear your mind and get along better with others. When you don't rest well, you eat more to gain energy. Getting enough rest ensures that you don't snack throughout the day to stay awake. The lack of sleep also cause premature aging. 3. Exercise Exercising not just few times a week, but everyday can help lead a healthy lifestyle.
