How often do you think of the BIG picture?
To be honest, small changes in daily activity can have dramatic
impact in the long run. You buy a fuel efficient vehicle not
because it saves you 1 or 2 dollars at the pump, but because
it saves you thousands annually. Health is the same.
Here are some well kept French secrets to a long and happy life.
-Reduce your portion size during meals. They key is to eat small meals
throughout the day for gradual and sustained energy.
-Use your legs more often. If you are running errands close to home, try
walking (if it's within reason). Get outside and enjoy a cocktail of
sun and exercise.
-1 glass of red wine, everday! Full of anti-oxidents, red is secret to
heart health.
-Explore new stress relieving techniques. Sure you can squeeze the stress balls,
but explore new ways. For example, if I'm feeling stressed I make or work on music,
I also go outside and kick the soccer ball around for a bit. I enjoy both activities
and find that they help me relieve stress (plus, there is exercise involved).
Take it easy, one step at a time. Incorporate these tips one at time and build an enjoyable
routine. Try not to shock your body with a variety of changes all at once.
Keep posted. As I use these tips, I'll be adding to this blog for quite some time!
