1. Eat more greens, vegetable, and fruits
As a Taiwanese person, our habit of eating a lot of green leafy vegetables and fruits after meals prove to be beneficial to our health. It's got lots of fiber, vitamins, and minerals. You've heard about all the benefits of eating more veggies and fruits, so I will not say more here...
2. Take the steps
In many of our busy schedule we simply cannot find any time for regular exercise sometimes. I used to be very active, always playing some type of sports. After I started med school, I simply had no time to exercise or maybe sometimes just too lazy when I do have time. I moved off campus and live on the sixth floor for a purpose. Everyday, I climb the steps at least four times. However, if you can exercise regularly, it would be even better!
3. Stop smoking
Any way you put it, smoking is not good for the health and also the health of those around you. You are simply killing yourself slowly. It doesn't matter if you've been smoking for ten years already, stop the bad habit now and you shall benefit! Smoking contributes to cardiovascular problems, cancer, lung diseases, etc and the list goes on.
4. Moderate alcohol consumption
It's reported many times by the news that researches found moderate drinking have benefits to reducing some cardiovascular diseases. It is well known the relationship between alcohol and liver cirrhosis with alcohol abuse. I personally don't drink anymore, but that's my preference.
5. Don't be greedy
Think twice about taking another piece of the cheesecake when you've finished one already. You see, our bodies will store up all the energy that we do not use as fats in the body. When you start eating all that extra food, where do you think all that energy will be stored? Yep, think about it. One pound or two pounds may not hurt you now. Until when they all add up later on...
There will be more so check back!!!
