It comes with a price
Have you ever wondered what it’s like to get older? I’m not talking like a couple years older but like 80. I myself have in fact thought about it. I sometimes say to myself, at 80 I’m going to look 40. But one can never know. But what if you could? Would you go and see what you would look like at 80 or just let fate take you there??
Well one thing is for sure, if you don’t take care of yourself then you may not even live to be 80. You can start with the foods you eat. Did you know that what you eat affects your mood? By eating more fruits, vegetables, dairy and grains you stay energized throughout the day.
Exercise also comes into play when trying to stay healthy. By exercising you can release stress and build muscles. Even walking a mile a day can boost your metabolism and decrease your stress levels. I know what you may be thinking, I hear this all the time. But the truth is, do you do it?
Here are some tips to help you stay healthy. When you wake up in the morning walk around your room twice then do some jumping jacks and touch your toes. This increases your metabolism and wakes up your brain. Make sure to live your life to the fullest. But you can’t do this eating junk food every day.
Always in moderation my friends.
Instead of…
Ice cream try Frozen yogurt
Milk chocolate try Dark chocolate
Pudding try Yogurt
Lays potato chips try Baked lays
These are just some alternatives. Think about what your putting in your mouth before you put
it in your mouth.
