Health and longevity are directly determined by lifestyle and even the smallest change towards a healthier lifestyle can yield huge benefits. Here are a few habits that can bring about important changes in your health and well-being and can make your life longer:
– Your diet – a balanced diet contains carbs, proteins and fibers, too, so there is no need to eliminate any of them from your meals, just make sure you have three major and two smaller meals a day and never overeat.
– Moderate exercise – another thing that you can do easily. You don’t need to run the marathon or to work out for hours every day. Start small, take a walk around the house every day, use the stairs instead of the elevator and your joints and muscles will be grateful for even the smallest effort.
– Hydrate properly – drink at least 4-6 glasses of water or the same quantity of herbal tea per day. Try to avoid sugary and carbonated beverages as much as you can and consume alcohol only rarely and in moderation. Seek help of an integrative medicine Denver practitioner for mood swings and depression.
– Use sunscreen – solar protection is important and not only for fair-skinned people. Use sunscreen in all seasons, whenever you leave the house and it is sunny outside.
