Modern life is messy and busy. In the hustle and bustle of life, people find themselves ignoring the simple life things that matter. Indeed, in search of wealth and fame, most people have completely forgotten about their health. I want to make you aware that you can still be healthy even as you engage in the never-ending activities of life. Here are a few simple life hacks to stay healthy even as you engage in your daily activities.

Watch what you eat

You have heard it being said that you are what you eat. If you practice healthy eating habits, you will be healthy. If you eat whatever is placed on the table, you will always have health issues. There is a mind boggling variety of foods to eat, and I will not choose for you. My advice is that eat what you like but in fine moderation. Don’t overeat.

Take a lot of fresh fruits and leafy vegetables. Don’t miss any meal. Make your breakfast the largest meal of the day. Reduce the amount of sugar you take in a day, be it in food, drinks, fruits or vegetables.

Drink a lot of water

What comes to your mind when you hear that about 80% of our body is mainly water? It means that without adequate water, 80% of our bodies is unhealthy. If you think of the advantages of water in the body, you will agree with me. First, water is a natural detoxifier. It helps the body get rid of wastes through sweating, defecation, and urination. It also protects your body tissues, joints, and the spinal cord. It also helps in digestion.

Generally, it keeps every organ of the body in proper working conditions. It is, therefore, very ironical for you to go for a day without drinking enough water. You need to take at least eight glasses of water every day to ensure that you are properly dehydrated.

Exercise

Do not be that type of a person that likes to laze around. If you can’t go to the gym regularly to exercise, you can come up with a daily ten-minute workout plan that you can engage in comfortably at home. Make it a habit of walking or cycling to work if possible, and take the stairs rather than the elevator when going up high buildings.

Sleep

The need to make ends meet has forced many folks to work day and night. While this may not be a bad thing, sleep deprivation can lead to life-threatening medical conditions. Make sure that you sleep for the recommended number of hours every day. You may need to take meals and snacks that induce sleep like bananas and yogurt. This is because your quality of life will highly depend on the number of restful hours of sleep you have had.

Be hygienic

Disease love dirt. Therefore if you are unhygienic, you will not live a healthy life anytime soon. Simple hygiene activities like washing your hands after visiting the toilet may have far-reaching repercussions if ignored. Wash your fruits before eating. In general, live a hygienic life.
