Top Tips For A Healthy Lifestyle
- Sleep for 7 to 8 hours regularly to relax and rejuvenate your body and mind.
- Drink water regularly throughout the day aiming to drink around 7 – 8 large glasses and drink one as soon as you wake up
- Walk at a brisk pace for 20 – 30 minutes every day. You will feel so much better for this.
- Eat Seasonal locally grown food whenever possible.
- Avoid processed food and eat more vegetables and fruit. Eat better, not more. Quality over quantity.
