10 Steps to Better Health

Healthy Food Bytes: 10 Steps to Better Health

Only 10 – you can do it!

1. Make sure to get fresh air and sunshine every day. The best natural source of vitamin D – and it’s free.

2. Drink plenty of pure, clean water. Yes, I mean filtered. No, I don’t necessarily mean buying bottled water. Think about investing in a carbon filter system for your home and workplace.

3. Get at least 7-8 hours of sleep.

4. Exercise – there’s no way around it. You can’t achieve optimum health without it. Include both aerobic and some sort of resistance such as weights or Pilates or Yoga. Find a schedule that works for you and do it. No more excuses.


5. Eat foods as God intended them to be eaten. Stay away from white, refined, processed foods

6. The relationships you have should enhance your life. Don’t blame others; you are responsible for the relationships in you life. What can you do to make your relationships happier and healthier? What toxic relationships do you need to say good-bye to or keep at arms length?


7. Bring back passion into your life. Pursue something you always loved or wanted to try. Make time for your passion.

8. Get in touch with your spirituality. Studies show that spiritual people are healthier. No kidding.


9. Get educated about health. It’s a process, as most people don’t really understand optimal health.

10. Start creating healthy habits; as in eating more fruits and vegetables, switching to whole grain, drink green tea and cutting out soda (diet or regular) and sugar as much as possible. Start today.
