How to be healthy: 5 easy things to do today

Small changes can make a big difference when it comes to boosting your health. Try these five simple steps and start feeling better today...

Chew your food

Thoroughly chewing will put less pressure on your digestive system and help your body to absorb more nutrients.

Don't count calories

While it’s important to keep an eye on portion sizes, the health world has shifted its focus from calorie counting to making healthy, nutrient-dense choices that are kind to your digestive system.

Sweet and simple

Don’t be scared of sugar. The rules are simple – purge the refined, processed stuff from your diet as much as possible and enjoy natural, sweet sources alongside foods that will slow down absorption and regulate blood sugar.

Forget the fads

Let moderation be your mantra and make sure that you pack your diet with vegetables, fruit, lean protein and wholegrains – introduce new ingredients into your diet gradually over a few weeks to see if you notice any benefits.

Stay positive

Researchers have found that we’re more likely to adopt healthy habits if they’re presented positively.
