Does life get in the way of you being your happiest and healthiest best? As we dash between work, family, friends, social events, and more, living becomes exhausting. Yet, we would cope far better by making time for our Health & Vitality.

Embrace these 10 tips to set you on the right track:

1. Block out an hour in your calendar every day to do some form of exercise. When written down, you’re more likely to commit. For a holistic fitness routine, vary between cardio, strength training, and stretching.

2. Give yourself a ‘timeout’ at regular intervals to distress – be that to read, catch up with a friend, or treat yourself to a massage.

3. Keep hydrated – substitute all sugary drinks with plain water, and keep a bottle in hand throughout the day. Add fruit and vegetable slices, or herbs to make it more palatable.

4. Consume mostly wholesome unprocessed foods. Health-wise, this strategy gives you the biggest bang for your buck – you max out on nutrients, while minimizing your consumption of junk.

5. To save time, cook and bake in bulk; refrigerate cooked eggs, chicken and grains, and freeze anything from homemade sauces, marinades, to muffins and granola bars.

6. Eat at home when possible. Save dining out for special occasions (thereby minimizing intake of hidden fats, sugars, salt and additives)

7. Pack a lunch for work or school and enjoy a picnic on a family day out. Anything can be quickly thrown into a salad, or made into a healthy sandwich or wrap. Invest in a few thermos to take homemade soups or curry dishes.

8. Enjoy treats and alcohol in moderation. Life is far too short for deprivation. However, overindulgence lessens our health and longevity.

9. Get quality sleep to recuperate and rejuvenate. Banish electronics from the bedroom and do whatever helps relax before retiring.

10. Work on being that positive optimistic person you want to be. Appreciate that you are in control of your health not only through better nutrition, but also through your better attitude.

Make these 10 points your lifestyle, and you’re on the right path.
