We often link good health with exercise. However, there are many ways to stay healthy that dont require us to work up a sweat. Here are some of them.
Much of our health depends on what we eat. This is why we should avoid processed foods like potato chips and candy, which contain few vitamins and more salt and sugar than our body needs. Its better to choose healthy whole foods such as fruits and vegetables. Also, eating too fast is bad for our digestion. According to health coach Kelly Johnston, we should chew our food 20 to 30 times for each bite.
Besides food, water is also key to staying healthy. Around 60 percent of our body is made up of water, so its not surprising that proper hydration is important. Experts say that we should drink at least eight glasses a day.
Finally, get a good nights sleep, since our body needs rest at the end of each day. The amount of sleep each person needs may be different, but most agree that we should aim for seven to eight hours a night.
