7 STEPS TO LIVING LONG & STAYING HEALTHY

THE ENERGY IT NEEDS

carrots, tomatoes, broccoli or peas.

peaches mangoes, bananas or fruit juice.

day of meat, fish, beans, eggs or nuts for protein.

STEP 2 : STAY PHYSICALLY

- Do some sort of exercise
daily under qualified guidance.
- It is best to get at

exercise is better than none at all. If you do not want to go jogging or
swimming, try going for a brisk walk.
STEP 3 : A HEALTHY MIND
IS PART OF A HEALTHY BODY
When you are in a good state
of mind, you make good decisions for yourself about your job, your
lifestyle, and your health. Here are some things you can do to keep your
mind healthy.
- Reduce stress in your
life.
- Make time in your life
for things that are fun. Make a list of activities you like and ensure
that you have at least a little time each day for doing something you
enjoy.
- Get enough sleep. Most
of us get too little sleep. Being sleepy reduces your concentration,
increases mood swings, and causes continuous fatigue syndrome.
STEP 4 : KEEP YOUR MIND AND BODY
FREE FROM HARMFUL DRUGS & ALCOHOL

health problems than any other drug and is the most addictive, most widely
used. Cutting down or stopping the use of cigarettes, cigars or chewing
tobacco can save your health.

and drugs of abuse.
STEP 5 : PRACTICE SAFE LIVING HABITS

daily life can prevent lots of mishaps.

observe proper traffic rules.

riding a motorcycle.

regularly to avoid the spread of germs. (Particularly before eating)
- Know what diseases you
are at a risk for and attend regular screenings for them.
- Avoid self medication,
if you feel sick, consult your doctor.
STEP 6 : GET REGULAR HEALTH CARE
- Many people think they
only need to see a doctor when they are sick or injured. The truth is,
health care providers are also experts at preventing illnesses and finding
and treating problems before you ever feel sick.

children in your family immunized against life threatening diseases.
