12 steps to a healthy life ..

All of us look forward to a healthy living.  We want to be doing things that keep us positive and motivated, energised and enthusiastic the whole day. What are the steps we should be doing to ensure that we we remain healthy and active not only during the day, but our whole life. Given that an average Malayali has a life span of 75 years and females 81 years, let us live the rest of our life healthily. .

Here are the 12 points that will help us lead a happy and active life.

1. Daily bowel movement - enough of movement during the day will ensure bowel movement
   
2. Clear skin - taking enough of water, eating less fatty food
   
3. Deep sleep - ensuring a minimum of 8-9 hours of sleep daily keeps our brains and body systems properly energised and oxidised for active living
   
4. Proper weight - ensuring proper weight, the last two digits of your height in cms, should be your ideal body weight in kgs.
   
5. No body pain - keeping all muscles and joints properly exercised with no secretions or deposits in the body
   
6. 
   Feeling energised through the day - exercise, walking, enough food, water etc.
   
7. Feeling of strong hunger - allow complete digestion of food of earlier meals before taking next food. Feel hunger and then eat.
   
8. Experiencing positive thoughts - watch and read less of negative news, stories
   
9. Hydrating the body properly - taking enough of water ensures the muscles are not stressed and blood remains clean
   
10. Having enough vegetables/ fruits - for proper bowel movement ensure enough fruits and fibres in your daily food intake
    
11. Engaging in long walks - walks help in rejuvenating the mind and the body, ensuring all muscles in the body get proper exercise, prevent over straining
    
12. Stretching the body daily through exercises - the muscles of the body require stretches otherwise they become weak by inaction. Stretching exercises ensures proper blood flow.

When you do these things you get physically, mentally and spiritually active.

Wishing everybody a great active life.
