Tips for a Healthy Lifestyle from Me to You

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.
