TOP 5 Useful Tips to Have A Healthy Lifestyle Janet Davie Smith

Do you know how healthy you are? Do you keep a healthy diet or exercise regularly? Or maybe you daily drink a lot of water? To live a healthier life we need to take off our body as a temple of our spirit.

t's craziness but over 68% of adult Americans are overweight or obese. And numbers are growing! Think of your body as your personal physical shelter and because of unhealthy food and pernicious habits it can wear out quite quickly. Don’t bog down your beautiful life with different problems with health. But consider that wellness isn’t just about healthy eating and doing sports. It applies to all areas of life and also includes positive mental health, and a healthy self-image. Don’t take your wellness for granted and support it by healthy habits. Here're 5 helpful ways to have a healthier life. It's craziness but over 68% of adult Americans are overweight or obese. And numbers are growing! Think of your body as your personal physical shelter and because of unhealthy food and pernicious habits it can wear out quite quickly. Don’t bog down your beautiful life with different problems with health. But consider that wellness isn’t just about healthy eating and doing sports. It applies to all areas of life and also includes positive mental health, and a healthy self-image. Don’t take your wellness for granted and support it by healthy habits. Here're 5 helpful ways to have a healthier life. 1. Don’t underestimate the importance of sleeping. When you don’t get enough sleep, you begin to compensate energy by eating more fats. Just have a healthy sleep and you’ll have no need to snack and drink tons of coffee to stay awake. 2. Drink enough water every day. Over 75% of our body is made up of water, so water is essential for proper functioning of all body parts. We need to supplement our water balance regularly to remove waste and maintain oxygen and nutrients movements around the body. Moreover, drinking more water actually helps in losing The amount of needed water depends on various factors: your weight and height, the level of physical activity, humidity, etc.

3. Choose enjoyable exercises and do them regularly. Movement is life, so daily exercising brings terrific benefits to your body including weight loss or lowering of the disease When you like something, you surely want to do it. That’s why pick activities to your liking – be healthy and stay fun at the same time. Also, add variation in your daily exercises. It’ll keep them more interesting and help you work out different parts of your body correctly. 4. Add to your everyday diet more fruits and vegetables (especially, bright colored). Fruits and vegetables are a plethora of vital minerals and vitamins. Experts in wellness say that for a healthy being we need to have 5-10 servings of vegetables and fruits a day. Furthermore, bright colored foods usually have a higher level of antioxidants which remove free radicals from the body. So, take to your plate fruits and vegetables of different colors: banana, mango, orange, apple, tomatoes, strawberries, avocado, guava, cucumber, eggplant and many others. 5. Love yourself and purge negativity from your life. Positive mental health is also a crucial point of a healthy Don’t surround yourself with negative people who blight your mood with excessive criticism or negativity. Also, get rid of negative thoughts you hear in your head and don’t conserve these thoughts inside – it’s absolutely unhealthy. Wellness starts from within, so live life with purpose and positive worldview.

Flirty Or Friendly How To Tell If She Wants You Or Just Wants To Be Your Friend by: Marni Kinrys Also, if a girl isn’t feeling it, but thinks you

ARE, she’ll give you LESS than the basics, to make sure you get the message. She’ll be polite, maybe even proper with you. She’ll give you platonic hugs or even hold off from touching you. She won’t try to get you alone. She may even talk to you about other guys she’s interested in, which if nothing else has gotten the message across, should drive the point home. I know you may think that these behaviors are tests, but they are definitely not tests or signs to pursue harder.They are signs that she’s not into you. Now, these are guidelines. Remember that each woman is different and has their own individual BASELINE for how she acts with guys. You want to get to know her so you can figure out her “baseline”. If she’s super affectionate with all of her guy friends, a big hug from her is not an indication that she wants you. If she’s comfortable around her other guy friends, but then gets shy and blush-y around just YOU, then you can take that as a sign that you have a certain effect on her. Find out her norm so you can see where you fall on the spectrum. I recently had a guy friend reveal his feelings for me. I was surprised; I thought he could tell by my signs that I wasn’t into him! I even suspected that he was attracted to me, so I tried extra hard to get the message across… giving him less than the basics. But still, he told me he was sure there was something between us: Because of how I connect with him in conversation, how much I enjoy hanging out with him, how I’m so sweet to him and laugh at all his jokes… Not only did my friend not pay attention to my baseline (I laugh at a lot of people’s jokes…), he had a serious case of tunnel vision. He only took what he wanted from our interactions, never paying attention to my signs: I didn’t make plans with him alone, I would tell him about other guys I was into, I didn’t give him extra affection… the list goes on and on. By learning the signs that women give you, getting out of your tunnel vision, and being aware of her baselineScience Articles, you will have the upper hand in avoiding these sticky situations. STOP wasting time on someone who doesn’t want you. Be a savvy sign-reader and you’ll find someone who DOES.

Has this ever happened to you?

You’ve been hanging out with a girl, you’re into her, and you think she’s into you. Then one day you make a move and she tells you she just wants to be friends. You’re blindsided! Your ego is bruised! You wonder how you could have gotten this wrong! What happened was you misread her signs. And it’s not your fault at all. Because the signs women give are super subtle and very hard to pick up on. That’s why I asked my new Wing Girl, Marissa, to tell you how to tell if she wants you vs. just wants to be friends. Marissa is awesome! She’s blond, she’s single, she gets hit on all the time and I guarantee you would want to date her if you saw her. Who better to get advice from than a woman like her right? FLIRTY OR FRIENDLY: HOW TO TELL IF SHE WANTS YOU OR JUST WANTS TO BE YOUR FRIEND By Marissa Madsen from the 20s vs 30s webisodes I totally get how men can be baffled when it comes to women. We’re pretty damn confusing. When are we being flirty vs. just being friendly? A couple of really important things for you to know is: 1. Women can flirt with you even if they don’t want anything more from you. 2. Women actually believe that men and women can be friends. Which means that you may have the intention of approaching her because you want to date/sleep/be with her but her intention is simply friendship. Just because she LIKES you doesn’t mean she’s ATTRACTED to you. When a girl is flirting with you, she’ll give you “extras”: Extra long eye contact, extra touches, she’ll try to get into long conversations or find excuses to hang out with you alone. She’ll find ways to show you she’s open to something MORE. For example, agreeing to your suggested plans or responding to your texts/calls promptly with more an “Lol” or “ha”. If she’s just being friendly, she won’t give you the “extras”, just the “basics”. She’ll be nice, even physically affectionate, she’ll hang with you on her terms but that’s it.
