MY HEALTHY LIFESTYLE TIPS

1. Eat wholesomely - according to your needs and constitution:

- Sit down to dine and savor your food

- Have as many meatless and low-carb meals as possible (I indulge on meat, bread, pasta, rice, cakes, desserts, cheese, peanut butter, etc... only once or twice a week, mostly on weekends)

- Serve vegetables at every meal

- Integrate sufficient healthy proteins and cereals into your diet (seeds, eggs, dairy products, poultry, fish, tofu, farro, barley, oats, buckwheat, etc...)

- Regularly cook with legumes and grains (a few times a week)

- Eat a handful of nuts and fruits on a daily basis

- Flavor your dishes with lots of spices and herbs as well as natural condiments (vinegar, mustard, hot sauce, etc...)

- Use good oils and fats in reasonable quantities (that also includes animal fats)

- Drink lots of plain water (the amount varies from one person to another, depending on one's lifestyle and body's demand)

- Cut down on sugar and floury foods

- Steer clear of additives, MSG, glucose, trans fats, GMO's and processed food

2. Exercise often

3. Sleep enough

4. Get some fresh air and get close to nature

5. Relax more and ban stress from your life

6. Seek harmony and peace of mind, think positively, be optimistic and surround yourself with non-toxic people

7. Find inspiration in others, be passionate and creative

8. Express your emotions - don't swallow your feelings

9. Be one with the Universe

10. Stop trying to be someone else and learn to love yourself by accepting who you are and acknowledging your uniqueness

11. Enjoy life & don't take it all too seriously

12. Fake it till you make it!
