It doesn’t matter how old you are. What matters is that you are taking care of your body. After all, if you’re not in full health, you’ll struggle to do all of your everyday things in life. The good news is that you can take a few simple steps to stay fit and healthy.

With that in mind, you’ll find a checklist of five essential must-do things here on this page. 

Here’s what you need to know (and do):

1. Do some daily exercise
Okay, no-one is saying that you need to pay for a gym pass and spend most of your free time on cross-trainers. However, what you should do is some form of daily exercise, even if it’s just taking your dog for a walk around the block twice a day!

You should also do some pelvic floor muscle exercises to help prevent problems such as incontinence or constipation in later life, especially after childbirth. Take a look at Pelvic Floor Pro for some inspiration and advice on that subject.

2. Eat plenty of fruit and vegetables
Even if you’re a meat-eater, you should still be consuming plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables. There’s a stack of scientific evidence to prove how beneficial they are to your health. Plus, they are useful at helping you to keep your weight down to a manageable level.

And are you someone that often snacks on things a lot to keep yourself going through the day? If so, consider swapping those unhealthy snacks for fruits like apples, bananas, oranges, and pears. Check out this article from Healthline about the best fruits to eat!

3. Kick the negativity out of your life
The trouble with being around people that have a negative impact on your life is that you’ll soon feel negative about everything too. Negativity can also have a direct influence on the state of your physical well-being and mental health.

Here are some ways to kick the negativity out of your life:

  • Disassociate yourself from “toxic” people;
  • Find a job in a happier place of work;
  • Don’t focus so much on what the media is telling you.

4. Be thankful for what you’ve got
All too often, people focus on the things they haven’t got and seldom think about what they already have in their possession. For example, someone might feel down about not having the latest trendy shoes. But, they aren’t thankful they have a wardrobe full of clothing.

Those same people might seemingly forget about other things they should be grateful for in their lives, such as having a roof over their heads or a loving and supportive family. Being thankful for what you’ve got will help you lead a more fulfilling and happy life.

5. Have an annual medical exam
Last but not least, it’s important you make an appointment with your doctor each year to check the state of your health. That way you can tackle any hidden or concerning health issues at an early stage before they get any worse.

Thanks for reading today’s blog post. Stay safe!​
