Title: Beyond Food: Healthy Living

Hello,

Over the last few days we've talked about the 
importance of incorporating healthy foods that
are high in essential vitamins and minerals into
your diet.

Today, we'll go beyond food because in order to
live the healthiest life possible there are a few
other things you'll want to focus on.

This includes:

Getting Enough Sleep
It's essential that you get enough sleep every
day. Over time, chronic sleep deprivation can increase
your levels of the stress hormone, cortisol, which will
break down collagen, reducing your skin elasticity
and making you look twice your age.

It'll also take its toll on your mental state and
can lead to anxiety, depression as well as preventing
your brain from functioning at its best. 
Quit Smoking
This is an obvious one. Smoking drastically
reduces your life span and of course, it's linked
to cancer.  If you are struggling to quit smoking,
consider contacting your doctor about Cravv or
other quit-smoking programs that will help you
squash the deadly habit.

Drink Alcohol in Moderation
A glass of red wine carries tons of antioxidants
so drinking in moderation is actually beneficial,
however you'll want to watch your overall intake.

Excessive alcohol takes its toll on your brain,
as well as your liver's ability to function at
its best.  Alcohol is metabolized by the liver,
and so drinking regularly can lead to increased fat
levels inside your liver cells. Alcohol abuse can
also lead to cirrhosis, a very serious condition
as well as severe depression.

Exercise
Cardio, especially, is one of the most important
things you can do for both your physical and mental
state.  

By completing just 15 minutes of cardio each day
you will not only improve flexibility and muscle
growth but you will work towards ridding yourself
of that harmful belly fat that builds up around
your organs.

That's it for today! In tomorrow's email, I'll 
leave you with some final tips and strategies.

Until then,
