7 SIMPLE STEPS TO LIVE HEALTHY

1.Think outside the box
                     We spent 17 years of our life in sofa out of which 7 years are devoted in watching television. Next year we say i do not have time to go for gym or eat readymade food because we do not have time to cook fresh food.
Think outside of box and do some healthy things.
2. Embrasing good health
                  Giving partner a hug doesn't mean just to warm, it protects too. Hugging for more than 20 sec lowers the blood pressure and reduce stress hormone cortisol which reduces heart diseases and other conditions such as diabetes.
3. Sunny side up
                Get outside in the sunshine for a natural boost. The sun's rays on the skin help your body produce vitamin D, which has been shown to fight heart disease, depression, osteoporosis and even some types of cancer. There's not a lot of sun around at this time of year, so make the most of it when it does appear!
4. Don't take the biscuitIt
                Recently discovered that the smell of chocolate chip cookies could make women splurge on unnecessary clothes when they hit the shops. The smell activates the part of your brain that wants instant gratification, although that's no excuse for maxing out your credit cards.
5. Holding back the years
               Add 14 years to your life by following four very easy principles; don't smoke, take regular exercise, drink sensibly and eat five portions of fruit and veg a day. These simple steps can have a huge impact on your life. If you only manage one thing, give up smoking as the study found this had the biggest impact on your health.
6. A step in the right direction
                Previously, experts thought taking 10,000 steps a day was enough to control your weight, but a world-wide study has just established that women up to the age of 40 and men up to 50 need 12,000 steps a day to help shift that middle jiggle. Invest in a pedometer to make sure you're hitting your target.
7. Laughter is the best medicine
                Become a glass-half-full person! Studies have found that those with a positive attitude suffer less from conditions such as heart disease. Find something to laugh at every day to give your feel-good hormones a boost.
