We all have the power to improve our health and have a better quality of life. In fact, we make choices every day that contribute to the way we feel. The foods we eat are crucial to our overall well-being so our health depends on the kinds of food choices we make. Food can either be your medicine to help build your body up or it can be your poison and contribute to tearing your body down. Unfortunately, so much of the food we eat is nutritionally deficient. And as they say, we are what we eat, assimilate and eliminate.

Also, our thoughts are powerful enough to affect the way our day will go. It is important to think positive thoughts and direct our attention to what we would like to manifest into our lives, rather than focus on what is wrong or what we do not have in our lives. Being consumed with negative thoughts or having chronically high stress levels also affects our body, our health and our overall well-being.

15 Guidelines to Help You Maintain and Improve Your Health Today:

1.  Eat Vegetables, Fruits, Legumes, and Whole Grains

Vegetables, fruits, legumes and whole grains are the best foods to nourish your brain, build immunity and improve your health. Vegetables are also abundant in antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and fiber that strengthen the immune system thereby contributing to your health and vitality.

2.  Eat Good Quality Lean Protein

Protein should contribute to about 25% of your diet. Quality choices are lean poultry, fish, eggs, yogurt, beans, tofu and grains.

3. Consume Healthy Fats

Omega-3 essential fatty acids (EFA’s), found in cold-water fish, salmon, trout, mackerel and flaxseed have been shown to support breast and colon health as well as healthy blood cholesterol levels. Flax seeds are also an excellent source of fiber to support your colon and maintain regularity.

4.  Avoid Bad Fats

Animal fats, hydrogenated fats, and processed oils do not do the body good!

5.  Eliminate Refined Carbohydrates

Sugar, processed foods and refined carbohydrates rob the body of nutrients, contributing to a sluggish system and a lack of energy.


6.  Juice Daily

Prepare organic vegetable juices on a daily basis. Juicing helps gives you an amazing source of energy and stamina and helps to prevent disease. Freshly squeezed juice provides "live" nutrients and enzymes, which boosts your energy and helps to digest food properly.

7.  Reduce or Eliminate Caffeine

Reduce the caffeine in your daily regimen. Caffeine is a stimulant that triggers the “fight-or-flight” response to stress and overwork the adrenal glands that govern the stress hormone cortisol. It is best to avoid coffee, tea, cola, chocolate and other foods and beverages containing caffeine as its consumption provides a false sense of energy.

8.  Drink Water

It is important to drink about 6-10 glasses of good drinking water daily. Water is necessary to hydrate the body to help metabolism, promote good digestion, keep the skin in good condition and energize the body.

9.  Exercise Regularly

Regular exercise is a fundamental part of any healthy lifestyle. It is important to exercise at least four times a week, for 30-45 minutes and work up a sweat. This will support the proper functioning of your heart and cardiovascular system, digestion and elimination, strengthening the bones and builds lean muscle mass which increases metabolism and keeps the body at a healthier weight. Regular exercise will also provide you renewed energy and endurance.

10.  Meditate

To reduce stress, meditate, do yoga or Tai Chi or deep relaxation exercises for 20 minutes a day to center the mind, lower your blood pressure and boost your immunity.

11.  Get Regular Massage

Massage is proven to reduce stress and tension by releasing endorphins which flood your body promoting relaxation.

12.  Breathe Right

Good health and vitality is increased with breath work. Most of us breathe with only 10% of our lungs. Breath work will help to enhance your sense of inner peace.

13.  Take Time Out for Yourself

Remember that you are the most important person and that you deserve to be taken care of. Take time out of every day to do something pleasurable for yourself. Read a book, walk by the ocean or garden.

14.  Find Humor in Life

A good laugh triggers the release of endorphins, chemicals in the brain that produce feelings of euphoria. It also suppresses the production of cortisol, a hormone released when you're under stress that indirectly raises blood pressure by causing your body to retain salt. So try to find humor in daily life.

15.  Visualize Prosperity

Truly believe and feel that you are going to have an incredible day. You will be surprised how you will manifest this thought!

Follow these simple guidelines and you will increase the quality of your life. Remember that Health and Vitality is a daily choice!
