Everyone cares about having a healthy lifestyle, but with our crazy busy lives it gets so hard to stick with it sometimes.

We typically grab a hamburger and a bunch of fries on the go, just to fill up our growling stomachs and rush to run a bunch of errands and take care of kids and household and…

The list never ends…

Who has the time for planning healthy meals and walks and yoga lessons?

If only we had that personal chef to prepare fresh organic meals for us, and a trainer to tone our abs, and someone to help us get more than 6 hours of sleep every night?

Would not that be fantastic?

Would not be nice to have unlimited funds to help us have a healthy lifestyle we deserve?

However, we simply need to know what little changes to make that can add up to big health rewards.

These three easy tricks can help you get healthier right now.

1. Do not Skip Breakfast

Many people do not realize the fact that having breakfast every morning is the secret to staying healthy.

Breakfast is called the most important meal of the day, because it helps to balance our energy levels and curb our midday hunger pangs – thus preventing weight gain.

It is not just a great source of fiber, but also folic acid and vitamin B12.

One cup of fortified whole-grain breakfast cereal has about 400 mcg of folate and 100 mcg of B12 per day, the amount recommended to fight off cold sores.

2. Steam Your Vegetables

Steaming crunchy vegetables, like broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower etc. instead of boiling or roasting them – optimizes the amount of cancer-fighting protective chemicals.

The scientists also say that fresh veggies are better than frozen ones, and they may be helpful in reducing breast cancer as well as liver, colon, stomach and other kinds of cancers.

For the most protection we should eat at least half a cup of steamed or fresh greens a day.

3. Get a Little Sun

Every time we think of people with a healthy lifestyle, we imagine fit and tanned people walking on the beach.

Is not that right?

In fact, it is very beneficial to take a 15 minute brisk walk outside without a sunscreen three times a week.

That is because the sunlight helps our body to produce vitamin D which helps to cut your chances of:

1) developing inflammatory bowel disease and other digestive illnesses

2) Crohn’s desease

3) osteoporosis

4) and helps to keep your blood pressure in check

Take advantage of the sun benefits early in the morning or after 3 pm in the afternoon when you are less likely to burn.

Just remember that taking vitamins or dietary supplements is not the same as producing vitamins naturally from exposure to sunlight and eating healthy foods.

I really like this quotation of Adelle Davis: “We are indeed much more than what we eat, but what we eat can nevertheless help us to be much more than we are.”

Just by following these three simple rules, you will see the changes in your overall health and healthy lifestyle will become your second nature.
