<b>2. Eat right and Keep your BMI (Body Mass Index) at 18,5 – 24,8</b><br>
<u>How to Eat Right?</u><br>
As I’ve mentioned in my previous article: “Diet: How to really make your Diet work for you?” , your body needs a proper Balanced Nutrition Diet, with a proper daily amount of: vitamins, minerals, proteins and carbohydrates.<br>
<u>What can a proper Balanced Nutrition do for you?</u><br>

- Regulate levels of sugar and insulin

<u>What is the BMI and how the knowledge of it, can help you to improve your health?</u><br>
Knowing your BMI, you can tell whether your weight complies with the standard or you have extra weight (or your weight is insufficient).<br>
The BMI is directly related to the health risk; as the BMI increases, the risk also rises.<br>
That is why it is so important to know your Body Mass Index and keep it safe (18,5 – 24,8)<br>
<u>Body Mass Index Formulas:</u><br>
BMI formula (Metric): BMI = ( Weight in Kilograms / ( Height in Meters ) x ( Height in Meters ))
BMI formula (English): BMI = ( Weight in Pounds / ( Height in inches ) x ( Height in inches )) x 703<br>
<b>3. Try to avoid drinking Alcohol.</b><br>

<u>Alcohol has many side effects:</u><br>
- heart and central nervous system damage
- stomach ailments
- liver damage
- blackouts
- a high risk of alcoholism
e.t.c.<br>
So, if you are serious about living a healthy lifestyle – avoid alcohol at all costs.<br>
<b>4. Exercise Daily.</b><br>
Exercising is very important for human health and has proven to be a good cure for many well-known deceases.</br>
<u>How much exercising is enough?</u><br>
In order to be healthy, you need at least 10 -15 minutes a day of exercising.<br>
Also, you could combine your average daily activities with exercising, to save time.<br>
<u>These, are just few examples of what you can do:</u><br>
- Walking at least 5000 steps a day
- Walking up stairs instead of using elevators.
- Do some running instead of walking.
e.t.c.<br>

A good night sleep is very important, without it, all of the things I have mentioned above, would not work.
