The concept of a healthier lifestyle is simple, but doing it might not be. We all know how to get healthier, but it is hard to know where to begin or to know specifically what we can do. Staying active is important, we need at least an hour of activity every day, the kind of activity that raises your breathing. We will also want to eat healthier snacks, and plenty of fruits and vegetables, as well as drinking plenty of water.

Key Takeaways:

• Spend time being active each day such as going to the gym, going for a walk or playing a sport.
• Ditch the sugary sports drinks and sodas and instead hydrate yourself with water and whole fruit.
• Instead of spending a majority of your time watching television, browsing the internet or using your phone, get outdoors and exercise.
