5 Healthy Living Tips

Whether you're five or ninety-five these tips work for everyone to have a healthy life.

MOVE!!!

Think back to caveman days. Our bodies are meant to move, not sit in front of a computer or TV screen, so get up and go!

When you just can't drag yourself off the couch, set a timer for five minutes! Five minutes is five minutes and it's a baby step to making something BIG happen!

I try to live by the saying "When was the last time you did something for the first time?"

Have you tried Zumba, the latest dance / exercise craze?

Try a new healthy recipe

Try a new vegetable

NO GUILT!!!

If you crave that dessert - have it, enjoy it and savor it
