Tips for Being Healthier

I’m just going to give general tips for being healthier, not changing your weight, because we all have different struggles.

Consider your beverages: 

-soda in moderation (if at all)

-juice has quite a few calories (use that info how you wish)

-drink more water because almost everyone could do with more water. 

-if you drink alcohol, look at what mixers you’re using. Some premade mixes are absolutely loaded with sugar. 

Plan ahead so you make better choices: 

We often make choices based on what’s easiest or most convenient. You’re much less likely to eat take out if you have a yummy, healthy meal waiting for you in the fridge.

Give yourself good food options: 

Be realistic. You’re not going to eat only kale and sweet potatoes for the rest of your life. Have a lot of different healthy options that suit almost every mood.

Be active: 

I don’t care how. Just move your body several times a week. It could be yoga in your living room. It could be taking a walk. I don’t care. Just move SOMEHOW.

Love yourself. 

You are wonderful. You deserve to be healthy and happy.

Sometimes we need to be hurt in order to grow. We must lose in order to gain. Sometimes some lessons are learned best through pain. #life #happy #quotes #inspiration Learn more @howtothinkpositive
