Here’s that word moderation again… keep that in mind as I list a few healthy tips:
1. Eat a colorful plate of foods.
2. Get at least a half hour of exercise in. (They say an hour of exercise is 4% of your day, so why not?)
3. Learn something new.
4. Breathe. Meditation for just 10 minutes a day could hep clear your mind, help you handle stress better and even help with the symptoms of medical conditions. Learn more here: http://www.mayoclinic.org/tests-procedures/meditation/in-depth/meditation/art-20045858
5. Smile.

“Regular exercise may alter how a person experiences pain, according to a new study. The longer we continue to work out, the new findings suggest, the greater our tolerance for discomfort can grow.
For some time, scientists have known that strenuous exercise briefly and acutely dulls pain. As muscles begin to ache during a prolonged workout, scientists have found, the body typically releases natural opiates, such as endorphins, and other substances that can slightly dampen the discomfort. This effect, which scientists refer to as exercise-induced hypoalgesia, usually begins during the workout and lingers for perhaps 20 or 30 minutes afterward.
But whether exercise alters the body’s response to pain over the long term and, more pressing for most of us, whether such changes will develop if people engage in moderate, less draining workouts, have been unclear.”
