Make Family Time a
Priority
One of the greatest gifts that you can give
to your family is the time that you all spend together. In today’s world, too
many families are go, go, go all of the time resulting in too little time spent
together. Try to find an hour a day when your entire family has an opportunity
to connect and share.
Take it
Ten Minutes at a Time
Children
often need only to be offered time, space and permission and they will get all
of the play they need. Unfortunately, it doesn’t come as naturally or easily
for adults. The good news is that small increments of time spent walking,
climbing stairs, gardening, playing with the kids and doing other household
chores add up.
Try thinking of ways to build more routine movement into your
day by parking your car a little farther away, taking the stairs instead of the
escalator, walking once around the grocery store perimeter before beginning to
shop or grabbing a leash and going for a walk rather than just letting your dog
outside.
H2O Is
the Way to Go
One
of the simplest and most important things you can do for your health is to
drink water. The human body is made up mostly of water (about 60 percent), and
it relies on water to help perform every function. This means your body uses
lots of water and needs you to replace it continuously. Make water your first
choice every time, especially during warmer seasons and after vigorous physical
activity. A good guide for most people is to try and drink 8 glasses of water
each day. The Hydromax Game is an excellent way to do this. Ask Mr. Matthew about The Hydromax Game instructions and
exclusive site awards and incentives.
