It is not as difficult as it seems if you want to live a healthier and happier life. Very often, all it takes are some simple adjustments to your habits in life that can make all the difference in the world. Here are some simple ways you can improve your physical health and mental well-being:

1. For a healthy immune system, ensure that you get a generous daily dose of fresh fruit and vegetables rich in vitamin C or take a supplement to keep your body fit to fight off infections.
2. Arthritis sufferers will benefit from eating high-alkaline or neutral foods like green vegetables, eggs, dairy produce and water instead of acidic foods like tomato, citrus fruits, fruit juices and red meats which can make the pain of arthritis worse by building up acid crystals in the joints.
3. Eating cheese at the end of a meal helps protect the mouth against tooth decay. The cheese protects dental enamel by lowering levels of mouth acidity.
4. For healthy teeth, chew sugarfree gum. This increases saliva flow, which helps neutralize plaque acidity.
5. The green leafy vegetable, kale, is rich in the antioxidant lutein and contains iron which carries oxygen to your skin. It also contains vitamin A, which helps prevent premature wrinkling.
6. Exercise promotes blood flow, taking nutrients to the skin’s surface. As blood is pumped around the body, live skin cells lying deep in the skin are pushed up higher to the surface, ensuring a healthy skin renewal process.
7. If you are struggling with work-life balance, this can cause you a great deal of mental health issues. Life coaching can help you overcome stress and anxiety because it can help you become more organized. Companies like the Coaching Institute make it very easy to get connected with a good professional. You can visit their directory here: coachinginst.com/life-directory
8. Vitamins C and E may help protect your skin against sunburn and could possibly reduce the risk of skin cancer by neutralizing damaging free radicals that are produced by ultraviolet radiation coming from sunlight.
9. Evening primrose oil is essential for strong, hardy nails. Make sure to get sufficient calcium, iron, zinc, protein and vitamins A, B and C as well.
10. For healthy skin, make sure you eat at least 4 portions of EFA (essential fatty acids) – rich foods a week. Examples are certain fish, seeds, nuts and oils.
11. One great way to relieve your feet from stress when you get home from work is to roll your feet over a cold soft-drink can to stimulate blood flow and reduce swelling.
12. For shinier hair, eat fish regularly. This strengthens roots and boosts shine by encouraging natural oil production.
13. Exercise not only boosts overall health, but also works to improve muscle tone and circulation and frees up blocked tissue to remove the appearance of cellulite.
14. If you’re suffering from a bout of nausea, eat dry crackers and toast. These high-carbohydrate foods move through the stomach quickly and may be helpful if eaten soon after you wake up in the morning.
15. To help ease the pain of migraine and tension headaches, massage your temples in a circular motion with aromatherapy oils. This will also reduce stuffiness and eye pain.
16. Zinc gluconate lozenges may reduce colds by an average of 3 days as well as alleviate sore throats, nasal congestion, coughing, headaches and hoarseness.
17. To help stay calm and in control, take a few deep breaths. This stops the release of the stress hormones adrenaline and cortisol into the blood.
18. Citrus fruits, such as grapefruit, lemon and orange and blackberries and raspberries are powerful anticancer agents.
19. Peaches, sweet potatoes and apricots contain high levels of betacarotene, which can kill off cancer cells as well as prevent them from growing.
20. Swimming is an excellent exercise for healthy backs. It avoids the strain of impact sports and allows the body to realign itself while supported by the water.
21. Regular walking, light weightlifting and stretching can reduce the pain from arthritis by up to a third. 20-30 minutes of daily exercise is best and mix it up for maximum pain relief.
