1. Have a PERF-ect day
Essentially, there four things you should monitor every day to make sure you are living healthily.....- the amount of fruit and vegetables you ate that day ( fresh produce )
- whether you walked and were active ( exercise )
- whether you got at least 15 minutes of laughter and fun time for yourself (relaxation )
- whether you got enough beans, grains and other high - fibre foods ( fibre )
If you can say you did well on all four, your day has been extremely healthy. ( Needless to say, this doesn't apply if you spent the rest of the day say, drinking, smoking and eating chocolate. )
2. Monitor your sleepiness
There are three god ways to tell you if you're not getting enough sleep. - Do you require an alarm clock to wake you up most mornings?
- do you become drowsy in the afternoon to the point that it affects what you're doing?
- do you doze off shortly after eating dinner?
If the answer to any of these is yes, you need more sleep. And if you're getting enough sleep ( about eight hours ) and still have these troubles, talk to your doctor about your low energy.
3. Measure your height every year after you turn 50
This is especially important for women as a way of assessing posture and skeletal health. A decrease in stature can be as informative as a change in a bone density test for monitoring your overall bone health. If you're concerned, speak to your doctor.
4. Keep a mental colour chart of how dark your urine is
It may sound weird, but it's a useful health indicator. Your urine should be a clear, straw colour ; if it's dark-coloured even after you increase your liquid intake, make an appointment to see your doctor. If it's bright yellow, it may be the B vitamins in your multi - vitamin tablets ( if you tke them ).
# have a healthy body.. :D
