111Healthy Habits1. Never skip your breakfast. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Still, many of us skip it thinking that it will help us shed pounds. When you skip breakfast your blood sugar levels, as well as other nutrient levels drop, depriving you of the required nutrition and energy for the rest of the day. Breakfast eaters have a more positive attitude toward school and work, and they perform better in a variety of tasks. 2. Bite into something good. Eat lots of fruits and vegetables. Fruits are cool and juicy, so they get you the water you need to stay hydrated and they also provide the vitamins and nutrients that fat-free snack foods dont. Theyre good and they taste sweet - and some contain antioxidants that help prevent aging. 3. Eat regular meals. Skipping meals can lead to out-of-control hunger, often resulting in overeating. When youre very hungry, its also tempting to forget about good nutrition. Snacking between meals can help curb hunger, but dont eat so much that your snack becomes an entire meal. 4. Quit smoking, now! Studies show that by quitting smoking you can restore your heart function back to that of a non-smoker within a few years. Youll breathe easier, cut down your chances for heart disease, cancer, and more. But you knew that, right? Also, if youre not a smoker, stay away from those who do. Secondhand smoke is unhealthy so dont be afraid to tell people gently that youd prefer it if they didnt smoke around you. 5. Exercise daily. You dont have to be a professional athlete - just make time for 15-20 minutes of exercise daily. Take a walk, dance crazily to music, go for a jog, play volleyball on the beach, whatever it takes to get your heart pumping for a little while. 6. Get your sleep. Your body has time to recharge every night so its fresh and ready to face the onslaught of the next day. 7. Every day, devote a little time for yourself. Take some time out of your busy schedule. First, eliminate all forms of intrusion. Then close your eyes, breathe deeply and let your thoughts float downstream like a log carried by the river. You can practice meditation or relax in a hot bath with aromatherapy. When a thought comes up, just watch it float away. healthy habits tips courtesy 111
