15 EASY WAYS TO BE HEALTHIER
Be
Healthy:
More
and more research is showing that the key to lifelong good health is
what experts call “lifestyle medicine” — making simple changes
in diet, exercise, and stress management. To help you turn that
knowledge into results, we’ve put together this manageable list of
health and wellness suggestions.
We
asked three experts — a naturopathic physician, a dietitian, and a
personal trainer — to tell us the top five simple-but-significant
lifestyle-medicine changes they recommend.
Besides
giving you three different takes on how to pick your health battles,
this list gives you choices you can make without being whisked off to
a reality-show fat farm — or buying a second freezer for those
calorie-controlled, pre-portioned frozen meals.

1.
THINK POSITIVE AND FOCUS ON GRATITUDE
Research
shows a healthy positive attitude helps build a healthier immune
system and boosts overall health. Your body believes what you think,
so focus on the positive.
2.
EAT YOUR VEGETABLES
Shoot
for five servings of vegetables a day — raw, steamed, or
stir-fried. A diet high in vegetables is associated with a reduced
risk of developing cancers of the lung, colon, breast, cervix,
esophagus, stomach, bladder, pancreas, and ovaries. And many of the
most powerful phytonutrients are the ones with the boldest colors —
such as broccoli, cabbage, carrots, tomatoes, grapes, and leafy
greens.
