Mahatma Gandhi once said, "It is health that is real wealth and not pieces of gold and silver." That is true. Even Steven Adler of Guns N’ Roses also said that “You can have all the riches and success in the world, but if you don’t have your health, you have nothing.” All the pleasures and opportunities will be meaningless if you can no longer enjoy them. You may also agree to this so you already started to take the stairs instead of the elevator, skip desserts and go to the doctor when you are sick. But you can do better than that but it doesn't have to mean drastic changes. You can have a fresh start and make gradual small changes to your daily routine. This will already have a big impact on your healthy new lifestyle to unleash your full potential. You can start with these habits to kickstart a healthier lifestyle.

Watch What You Eat

When you're trying to live a healthier life, your diet may be one thing you want to change. You need to eat plenty of fresh, non-processed foods. Processed foods can harm your health because your body’s build never intended to process these foods that are high in fructose. Eating plenty of vibrant veggies is a key component of a healthy lifestyle. Eat more fruits as well. The fruit is also a great snack after work or school to keep you going for dinner. Again it doesn't have to be a drastic change. You can make a small effort each day to add vegetables to not one but two of your meals.

Stay Active

It was proven by medical research that regular physical activity reduces the risk of stroke and heart disease by 35% and lowers type two diabetes by 50%. Try to get 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity weekly, or 30 minutes most days. Also get two to three 20-30 minute sessions of strength training per week, focusing on major muscle groups. Find an exercise routine that you truly enjoy. Exercise should feel rejuvenating and enjoyable - make sure you are exercising consistently.

Stay Hydrated

Drinking enough water prevents dehydration, which could put a significant impediment to your healthy lifestyle changes. Drink a glass of water first thing in the morning. Although you are used to reaching for a cup of coffee as soon as you wake up, it is still recommended to take a non-caloric way to maintain the balance of fluids in your body. You can also try a cup of lukewarm water with lemon juice – a holistic practice that is said to soothe the digestive system, boost your immune system and hydrate your lymph.

Get Enough Sleep

You might find it challenging to head to bed on time but it is important to get 7-8 hours every night and try to keep a regular sleep-wake cycle – go to bed and get up at the same time every day. You can try turning off all electronics, and turn off all lights and things that make noise. You can go to a spa before going home or use Medcursor Massage Products to relax at home. Getting more sleep will help you feel more rested and ready to face the day in the morning. It gives your body more time to rejuvenate itself as well! This is when your body repairs itself on a cellular level. If you can't get enough sleep, aren't sleeping well, or do not feel well-rested, make an appointment with your doctor to see if they can help alleviate this problem.

Manage Stress

When you’re figuring out how to start a healthy lifestyle, your stress levels are the number one thing to consider. It is known as the silent assassin of good health. This can also lead to can lead to a variety of health-related side effects including headache, depression, fatigue, raises your risk of a heart attack and type 2 diabetes, acid reflux, and reduced immunity. To help you calm down, and release stress and anxiety, try meditation, yoga, light exercise, listening to music, talking to a friend, or taking a hot shower or bath. Contemplation helps you cope with the demands of daily life, and may even help lower your blood pressure. Also, Yoga poses help increase strength and flexibility and improve balance. Loneliness can also weaken your immune system. Make time each week to deepen your relationships with your family or hang out with your friends. It reduces stress and anxiety and improves mental functioning – and that helps guard against depression, heart disease, and dementia. Do your best to look at life as if "the glass is half full." You must believe in yourself, have good support systems, and think positively
