Enjoy Your Food!

• Eating as many different colored fruits and veg every day is an easy way to make sure you get a variety of vitamins, minerals etc.
• Avoid junk food - prepare some quick healthy snacks to have at hand when you need to nibble.
• Drink more water and plump up your skin! Tiredness, headaches and loss of appetite are also signs of dehydration - drink around 8 glasses of water a day, more if you are very active.

Healthy lifestyle tips are really easy to fit into your everyday routine and the benefits will be lifelong.

Get Active!

• The list of reasons to exercise are many, and should be irrestible to all of us - increased energy, longevity, weight management, disease prevention etc.

• Maintain your brain - yes, it needs exercise, stimulation and nourishment too. 'Use it or lose it' applies as much to the brain as the rest of the body.
  
  
• Experience new environments, people and activities - try a new hobby or go traveling, explore new areas close to home, or become a volunteer - it can be very fulfilling.
• Develop an optimistic outlook on life. Managing depression will help you - optimists are apparently more likely to be healthier,live longer, and are less susceptible to heart attacks.

Personal Matters - Practical and Emotional

• Quality Time needs a proper place in your life - spending time with those we value means being there in body and mind. Don't wait for a disaster to remind you of what really matters in life to you.
• When you know how to manage stress you'll be more able to keep a balance between relaxation, family, friends and work.
• Don't ignore potential health problems by putting warning signs down to age or being too busy to get them checked out. Schedule a regular health check-up into your life.
• It's good to share information and decisions about finances etc. with your partner so you both know how things work, and you both know where to find important documents.
• Keep things in perspective - don't sweat the small stuff. I mean dealing with life's problems in a positive and constructive manner, rather than becoming pessimistic and negative.
• Delete these words from your vocabulary right now -I'm getting too old for this. Don't allow typical thoughts about the aging process to affect your life!
