Is it possible to be healthy without exercising 24/7 and only eating vegetables? The answer to is, yes! You won't be the perfect image of health, but you'll be somewhat better, and that's all I can hope you'll gain from this article. Without becoming like those health gurus on Instagram that like to show off, here are seven simple ways to improve your life!
1. Drink More Water
I think it would be safe to say that not everyone drinks the recommended amount of water, because I know that I don't at all. Water is super duper important, guys. It can help with skin hydration, nutrient absorption, detoxication, and a billion more things. The list could go on forever, so drink a bunch of water! Yum!
2. Cut Out Soda
Soda is terrible for us and our bodies, and this probably does not come as a shock to you guys. Soda, pop, coke, yes, all of the above is the literal worst. So do yourself a favor and CUT! IT! OUT! Or at least reduce your intake, that would good too.
3. Meditate
Contrary to popular belief, meditation is not reserved to only those who are the stereotypical hippies with tie-dye t-shirts. It would actually benefit more those who are more high strung and stressed, those who are the opposite of hippies. So, spend 30 or so minutes of your day sitting and just breathing. Take this time to collect your thoughts and clear your mind. Ohhhhmmmmmm.
4. Walk More
Walking is something that we do everyday and is actually exercising! Something that I like to do is to park my car further away in the parking lot, so I have to walk more. This gives me an extra 100+ steps without that much more effort. It's a win-win situation, y'all!
5. Snack Between Meals
Now, when I say "snack" I do not mean that bag of potato chips with 30+ grams of sodium, sadly. I mean those fruit and vegetables that we love to hate. Those things are healthy, so let's eat them! Yay!
6. Eat Breakfast
"BREAKFAST IS THE MOST IMPORTANT MEAL OF THE DAY!" Yes, thank you to every adult ever who told me that while growing up. This is true, though. A simple meal in the morning can get your metabolism going, make you more awake, and make your day more productive. So, let's all do it!
7. Laugh More
This is the easiest one on this list, right? Laughing is fun and also healthy for you. So, surround yourself with friends who make you laugh until your sides hurt and you need to pee! I can do that and so can you, so get going!
