- Would you like to be more active? What do you like to do? Walk? Go to the gym? Jog by yourself? Join a running group? Clean house? Dance? There’s something for everyone.
A healthy lifestyle prevents health problems before they
start. Who wants to take a lot of medications or spend time in the hospital?
More Tips –
Do you spend a lot of money on coffee drinks and snacks? Go
grocery shopping on the weekend to buy healthy snacks, such as popcorn, bags of
nuts, string cheese, yogurt or fruit.

week. When you have a plan, you will be less tempted to grab something quick on
your way home from work. Besides, eating at restaurants can load on the
