5 Things to Improve Your Health NOW

I’m going to try to be as inobvious as possible, but people really need to be hit over the head with the obvious sometimes. 

•  Cut out sodas, beer, and extra-sugary fruit juices.  This is one of the biggest things that catches up with you when you do it, and makes the biggest difference when you stop.
• Stop using the elevator! Use the stairs, you lazy bum.
• If you’re on a campus or in an urban area, ride a bike around.  Bikes aren’t usually too expensive, and they are great ways to not only help stay fit, but you can get places faster than walking, and with generally less hassle (and gas) than using a car. 
• Change your snack quality AND quantity. Instead of snacking five times between meals with chips and chocolate, have one semi-big snack in the morning, and another in the afternoon.  And by snack I mean fruit, pretzels, nuts, etc.  Keep it low on the salt and the artificial sugars, it’s easy and tasty!
• Get more sleep! Experts say the more sleep you get, the more time your body has to digest all the junk you’ve put in there, and put it all in the right places.  If you’re moving around too much, there’s nowhere for it all to go!
