What Do You Do to Keep Healthy?

What do you do to keep healthy?

For me, healthy begins first and foremost with drinking plenty of water. It has too. When I’m not drinking enough water my body shuts down and I swell up like a piggy. Not a particularly good look.

Enough water for me usually equals between 17 and 20 glasses a day, well over the standard eight glasses that’s usually recommended. I’ve learned that the more active you are the more water your body needs. Eight is rarely enough for those who are extremely active and your body will let you know how much water you really need.

My other means of staying healthy is exercise. Lately I haven’t been exercising like I should, even though this past week I’ve gotten back to a regular exercise routine and I’m feeling better for it. When I’m not working out I’m sluggish, grumpy and easily depressed. Working out definitely makes me feel better physically but, more importantly, better mentally as well.

So, what do you do to keep healthy?

Is it a particular diet? Exercise? A special drink? Mediation? What? Share your tips in the comments and I will feature them on the blog in a later post.
