My Tips for a Healthier Lifestyle

Here are my tips for a healthier lifestyle...if you adopt just ONE of these tips in your life, I promise it will be worth it!

1. Drink one ounce of water per pound that you weigh every day. Eliminate (or minimize) sugary drinks and soda from your diet; they are just unnecessary calories!

2. Keep track of what you eat! You will be surprised how well this works for making you aware of your diet. Online calorie tracking resources are best, because they provide you with accurate calorie counts and calories burned vs. intake reports.

Online calorie tracking resources:

3. Use supplements, but use them wisely. Only take supplements that you cannot achieve through your normal diet. "Overdosing" on vitamins does not have any additional health benefits.

My recommendations for vitamins:
-Origins; Hair, Skin and Nails
-One-A-Day; Womens Active Metabolism
-Flinstones (or any generic brand) Chewable Daily Vitamins (YUM!)

4. Exercise at least 30 minutes every day! Get your heart rate elevated; cardio is key. You will have so much energy after you start exercising regularly. You don't need to join a gym in order to "work out"- you can run up and down a flight of stairs, jog around the block, or do jumping jacks in your living room and get the same benefits as a treadmill or elliptical machine.


Let me know if you have any questions!! I wish you the best of luck on your journey to a healthier lifestyle!

Great tips! I can't remember if you mentioned this in the video or not, but is that BB app free?

[ebee228]

@lauraraelynn Yep! The Blackberry App is free; I actually found it through the BlackBerry World Application on my phone which has tons of free applications. I absolutely love the program; it's the best calorie counter I have ever tried!
