Do
1. Reduce calories and cut down on sweets, cakes and chocolate. If you are overweight, try to lose weight. Being overweight increases your chances of developing circulation problems.
2. Follow a sensible diet – eat as much low-fat food as possible: chicken, fish and yogurt are good for you. Aim to eat at least five portions of fruit and vegetables a day to ensure your intake of Vitamin C and health giving minerals.
3. Give up smoking – every cigarette shortens your life.
4. Lead an active lifestyle. Keep fit and stay in shape: why not work out in the gym or take up jogging? Choose an activity that you enjoy doing. Exercise should be a pleasure, not a duty. Aim to exercise for about 30 minutes at least five times a week. If you work sitting down, try getting up as often as you can and walking around for a while.
Don’t
1. Don’t go to bed late: if you don’t get enough sleep, you will lack energy and you will age faster. Sleep replenishes the energies spent during the day and aids the natural healing process of the body.
2. Don’t get stressed: keep calm and avoid stress at home, school or work. Learn to relax, and when you feel that your stress level is rising, take a break.
3. Don’t eat between meals: it’s the fastest way to put on weight. If you can’t give up snacks, try at least to eat healthy snacks, like fruit or yogurt.
4. Don’t be a fitness fanatic! You need to stay in shape but remember to maintain a balanced lifestyle.
