We all aspire to lead a healthy and happy life and deep down we know the foundation for this is a healthy diet, minimising poor habits like smoking and drinking, and being active. However, even if we look after ourselves, our health and energy levels are gradually compromised simply due to the natural aging process. This lack of energy and overall health is often accelerated through illness or accident, stress, reduced exercise and over-consumption in all areas.
1. Eat healthy food. Minimise processed foods and foods with high levels of sugar and saturated fat
2. Move more! Do at least 20 minutes of physical activity every day. If exercise is a challenge for you that’s okay. Start with just 5 minutes and build up slowly. You will be amazed how quickly the small changes you make each day will make a big, positive difference
3. Be smoke-free
4. Drink lots of water. Avoid sugar-laden drinks such as fruit juice, carbonated drinks and energy drinks
5. Reduce / Manage stress. Be mindful of your stress levels, be active in your stress management
6. If you drink alcohol, drink in moderation and be aware of your limits
7. Have regular health checks from your Doctor or Nurse. If you are male, 45 or over, or female 55+, you should aim to have a regular ‘Heart and Diabetes’ check. This will identify what things in your life might be putting you at risk for a heart attack, stroke, or of developing diabetes. These are things such as age, family history, smoking, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes and being physically inactive. Some of these risk factors can't be changed, and need to be actively managed. But many risk factors can be changed by you making healthy lifestyle choices8. Maintain good control of your blood sugar levels, blood pressure, blood cholesterol, and body weight
9. If you take medication, take it regularly, ‘on time’
10. Dental health – Look after your teeth! Brush your teeth at least twice a day and floss regularly and often
11. ‘These feet were made for walking’, so be good to them! Always wear comfortable footwear and if you suffer from diabetes check your feet daily for any cuts, abrasions or swelling
12. Be social! Keep in regular contact with family and friends. Surround yourself with positive people who care about your well-being
