Tricks to the Trade

Health is a constant war. Our days are full of little battles made of decisions between the healthy choice and the unhealthy choice, it seems sometimes that we have to be constant alert pertaining to the status of our health. G.K. Chesterton said, "The trouble with always trying to preserve the health of the body is that it is so difficult to do without destroying the health of the mind." Yes, this quote is very true. It is so hard to live a healthy life without obsessing over "perfect health".

However, there is hope. In this blog I will give you three tips to make healthy living easier without destroying a healthy mind. These tips are nothing new but reminders are always nice.

1) Substituion
There is always a healthy alternative to unhealthy deciscions. For example our local Green Bean is pretty much famous in our community for there boarder line perfection Big Trains, but did you know if you freeze Silk Dark Chocolate Almond Milk for approximatly 45 minutes it tastes almost identical to a Cookies and Cream Big Train. The difference being, the almond milk is much better for you.

2) Drink Water
Drinking water is not only necissary for life itself but is very useful when trying to live a healthier life. Water decreases appitite for one, if you drink water constantly your stomach always has something in it so it takes less food in order to make you full.

3) Make a Routine
Sometimes the healthiest choices I make all day are the choices I'm so used to making it has become second nature. For example, I only drink water. Water has become my only source of hydration for so long it feels like I'm eating dessert if I drink hot chocolate or anything of that sort and I treat it as such.

So those are the tips. I will hopefully ellaberate on some of the tips later on in my blog. I will definatly continue to give you more substitution options next week but as for this week, I hope the tips are useful to you no matter how many times you have heard them before and I hope you enjoyed this weeks blog. :)
