5 Tips for Healthy Living


1. Drink water. Most people are chronically dehydrated. We often mistake thirst for hunger. If you feel hungry between meals, drink a glass of water before giving into cravings. Limit liquid calories from soda and juice.
 
2. Eat plant-based foods. Plant foods are typically lower in fat and calories and higher in filling fiber than meat, dairy and processed foods, while providing loads of essential nutrients.

 3. Eat breakfast. Skipping meals causes your blood sugar levels to go up and down, affecting your energy and moods. It can also cause overeating later on because you're so hungry.

4 Eat mindfully. Turn off the TV. Get away from the computer. Sit down and savor the food you are eating with no distractions.

5. Get moving. Do any type of physical activity that you enjoy. Find the movement or exercise that works best for you, and then do it most days of the week.
