A new and healthier you

It might not be everybody’s cup of tea, but it should be everybody’s glass of juice. While the earth is constantly shifting zones, autoimmune diseases arise from an inappropriate immune response of the body. As someone who advocates in healthy eating, boundless energy and positive outlook on life are indispensable–two things one shouldn’t take for granted.

Riding the cloud to the future is not difficult; we have ways. Subsistence is in our nature. But displaying a healthy lifestyle is getting people in their feet and moving, and making them realize the need to save our lives. Here are 12 tips for a new and healthier you:

1. JUST SAY NO! to processed and prepackaged foods full of sugar and salt.
2. DRINK UP, and set a goal to drink more water than before.
3. DREAM ON, and get more sleep.
4. EAT MORE COLORS, to welcome more plant-based foods.
5. MOVE MORE, and take a brisk walk or try a new indoor activity like rebounding or taking a dace class.
6. JUICE DAILY, a diet rich in fruits and vegetables can decrease the risk of diseases like cancer, heart failure, stroke, diabetes, and mental illness.
7. CUT THE SUGAR. Filipinos have a sweet tooth. Choose muscovado or coco sugar.
8. SHOP SMARTER. Go out of the way to get fresh, local ingredients or find a farmer’s market.
9. GET SUPPORT. Spend more time with like-minded friends and family who will help make healthy habits that last.
10. FIND EATING-OUT OPTIONS. Make a list of healthy eating options away from home. Research restaurants online; look for juice and smoothie bars and health food stores.
11. TACKLE TASTE. Eating healthy does not mean giving up flavor. Use herbs and spices.
12. TRY REBOOT. Consume more fresh fruit and vegetables using a weight loss program designed to help you break unhealthy eating habits, and start you on a quality food with nutritional values. (Photo courtesy of eatingmanifesto.wordpress.com)
