5 Easy Habits to live more healthy!

With all the hype about "getting healthy" these days, I thought I would quickly just list out the five top most habits that I think form the pinnacle of 'healthy living'. I speak from experience here and if you google ,you'll see that a lot of other people believe the same! So, without much further ado.

1. Drink Plenty of Water!

I know I don't need to go deeply into this! Almost EVERYONE knows how important drinking water in sufficient amount is , which happens to be AT LEAST 7 glasses a day. In hotter climate or if you spend most of your time doing heavy activities, this amount should be raised proportionately.

I can't emphasize enough how important this is. 70% of our body is composed of water. To make sure our body works properly ,this amount is to be maintained. It helps keep you hydrated, keeps your skin fresh, maintains the composition of your blood and helps in proper functioning of the kidneys. AND these are only FEW of the benefits of the sacred drink know as H2O.

So, if you want to think healthy, think water!

2. Have Breakfast!

Super important! And I will tell you why. After dinner, when you go to sleep at night, all that food in your tummy is digested, used up and/or stored inside your body. So, when you get up in the morning and decide not to have breakfast suppose cause you want to lose all that extra fat you gobbled up yesterday, lemme just say here : bad idea!

Why? Cause your body, when you skip your breakfast, doesn't think that you want to lose weight and all those extra cals. What it thinks is that your are not eating because you don't have food TO eat! Hence, like the faithful little thing it is, it goes into STARVATION MODE. It lowers down the metabolism and starts using your own food stores but meagerly. So, instead of getting the result that you wanted , you get the opposite results!

Thus, say yes to breakfast!

3. Be Active!

Do not laze about. Be active! Go for a walk or a run or ,if that's too much, do some chores! Believe me, you'll feel much more healthier if you move about more as compared to being a couch potato!

Humans are built to be active. Any other way, just won't do.

4. Embrace Veggies and Fruits!

Fruits and Vegetables, they are your friends. Eating burgers and pizzas and sodas will only lead you down a long, unhealthy road. 

If you sit down and think, it's really stupid ,isn't it, that we opt for things that we KNOW aren't good for us and disregard those that we KNOW are good! And it is not like Fruits and Veggies aren't delicious! PLUS, they are a storehouse for vitamins, minerals, anti-oxidants and what not!

Make the smarter choice. Eat your fruits and veggies!

5. Smile!

Remember all those cheesy pictures on facebook and all those quotes 'turn that frown upside down' etc etc? Well, they are all there for a reason!

Smile is one of the best things you can do in your life and it costs you NOTHING, except for maybe a couple of calories, but, hey, who doesn't want to part with them, right?

A smile can not only turn your day around but also that of others around you. Its contagious! Sure, life is stressful and not always cookie 'n' cream BUT, despite all of that, or because of it actually, you need to smile!

Okay,so those are my 5 top habits that, I think, lead to a healthier life! :)
