13 Ways to Improve Your Health in 2013
9. Consume plenty of water
Even if you don’t drink eight glasses of water every day as you’re told to, drink as much water as you can. It not only aids in digesting the food you eat but also has a detoxifying effect, besides keeping your body well-hydrated.
10. Don’t skip breakfast
After a long night’s rest, your body needs a healthy breakfast to recharge your energies, and help you going through the day. Hence, avoid skipping breakfast.
11. Reduce your soda intake
A recent poll has found that nearly 50 per cent of Americans drink soda daily. This is unhealthy since soda has been linked to kidney stones, obesity and Type-2 diabetes. Diet soda has also been accused of causing obesity and leading to metabolic syndrome.
12. Consume fish
Eating about 8 ounces of various types of seafood each week can help improve your cardiovascular health and prevents cardiac deaths even in individuals without any prior cardiac problem. Sardines, salmon, tuna, shrimp and herring contain omega-3 fats, which bring down the triglycerides level, lower the risk of cardiac diseases, depression, dementia and Alzheimer’s.
13. Drink tea-green or black
Drinking black or green tea is good for health. Many feel that the antioxidants in tea can prevent cancer, increase bone density, aid dental health and strengthen the heart.
