It is common knowledge that living a healthy lifestyle has positive benefits – good health being the primary one! but other benefits include a youthful appearance, high energy levels, enhanced cognitive skills and longevity.

You would think that with all of the above benefits, everyone would eagerly embrace a healthy lifestyle! Unfortunately unhealthy diets, coupled with unhealthy habits like smoking, excessive alcohol intake etc. is the norm for some people.

Small Changes you can make

A lifestyle change is always difficult but Rome wasn’t built in a day! Some have the misguided idea that living a healthy lifestyle means giving up the foods they enjoy but in reality there is no need to do that . Here are a few small changes you can make.

• Replace soda with lemon water
• Avoid adding sugar to your beverages
• Snack on fruit and nuts instead of chips
• Add more vegetables to your plate and less potatoes, rice or pasta
• Go for a walk at least once per week
• Add ‘pamper myself” to your to-do list
• Sign up for a dance class
• Read ‘feel good’ books
