the good habits for your body health



From exercise to better nutrition to eliminating bad habits, these suggestions are all great habits to keep your body in the best health possible.

* Exercise. Do something every day, whether it is a walk around the block or a trip to the gym, to get your body moving.
 
* Drink water. Keeping hydrated with fresh, clean water is one of the healthiest habits you can create.
 
* Go natural. Select only the best foods for your body. Don’t depend on prepackaged foods, instead, take the time to learn how and why you should eat naturally.
 
* Organic. Eating organic food eliminates chemicals from your diet and the food tastes better. Read the Organic Guide for news, recipes, and ideas for going organic.
 
* Less fast food. Reducing the saturated fats and poor quality of fast food is a great habit to keep your body healthy.
 
* Eliminate white sugar. Refined "table" sugar creates unhealthy fluctuations in blood-sugar levels, which results in many health problems, including cardiovascular and cholesterol issues, so use natural sweeteners such as honey, cane sugar, or agave instead.
 
* Floss. Dental health is incredibly important. Infections that develop in your gums can quickly spread to other parts of your body.
 
 * Green tea. Full of antioxidants, green tea is an excellent drink to have every day and a great substitute for sodas.
 
 * Yoga. Whether you attend a class or just do a few poses at home, take some time to practice a bit of yoga every day to keep your body and your mind in shape.
 
 * Eat balanced. Get a balance of several fruits, vegetables, grains, and proteins in your diet rather than relying on just one or two staples.
 
 * Vitamins. Get in the habit of taking a good-quality multivitamin every day to ensure you are giving your body all that it needs to function well.
 
* Check-ups. Visit your doctor at least once a year to ensure you are staying healthy. Preventative healthcare is less expensive and better for you.
 
* Professional teeth cleaning. Visit your dentist and get your teeth cleaned twice a year to keep your mouth clean and healthy.
 
* Maintain a healthy weight. Constantly losing and gaining large amounts of weight is not good for your body, so keep your weight at a healthy place.
 
* No smoking. Stop smoking right now. Your body and your wallet will benefit from this habit.
  * Limit alcohol. Alcohol in moderation is not only better for your body, but will help your budget too.
 
 * Protect your skin. Wear sunscreen and a hat when you are outside all year round to protect your skin from damaging rays.
 
* Posture. Start standing and sitting up straight for a healthier and more attractive posture.
