Now health and fitness tips that you should live your life by are many, but the mantras that you can live your life is another matter altogether – some experts recommend things that may be altogether difficult and impractical for most of us to put into practice.

But here are some everyday fitness and health tips that you may just find easy to incorporate into your daily routine to gain a fit and < a href="http://www.fitnesshealthzone.com/body-building/10-exercises-to-get-lean-body-in-no-time/">lean body without any extra storage of fats–

Fruit and veg every day

Make this a rule – to eat fresh fruit and vegetable as very significant portions of your major meals every day. This can have several benefits: firstly eating the natural produce will deliver vital nutrients such as vitamins, minerals and so on to your system, keeping it healthy and shoring up your immune system.

Secondly it can fill you up with valuable calories, making you less hungry for less nutrient dense food. Thirdly having fruit at the end of a meal will make you far less likely to reach for the gooey dessert, and will ...
... help you further cut out harmful foods.

Exercise at least 5 times a week

If there is just one thing you can do for yourself that will help with your mental and physical health it is regular < a href="http://www.fitnesshealthzone.com/exercises/balance-exercises-to-build-leg-muscles-and-prevent-falls/">balance exercise. If you cannot find time for it, think of what you can dispense with in your life. Think of it this way – can a little less TV viewing each day hurt you? Obviously not; but just half an hour of exercise each day will do you a power of good.

Have sex

This should be a health tip that most of us will not find to be a chore. Sex is good for you for so many reasons – it relieves stress, it burns calories, it boosts immunity and cardiovascular health, helps you sleep better and even helps you lower risk of prostate cancer. Further sex can help you emotionally bond better with your significant other and can also help boost your self esteem. There is even some evidence to suggest that a hormone released during sex could help reduce pain.

Play, socialize

Just tossing a Frisbee in the yard or any kind of playing with your children or participating in a sport with friends or neighbors is a great workout that is not even a workout. It is a fun time for all concerned which is also great for your health. The fact that you get to spend time with people close to you who can help strengthen relationships is just a plus. Making sure that you get some ‘Me’ time, some time to socialize with people you enjoy being with is also very important; research shows that this may just help you live a longer, happier life.

Exercise your mind

It is an oft repeated adage – what you don’t use, you lose. That is certainly true for the mind. To keep your mind in tip top working order, it must be stimulated, stretched and challenged on a regular basis. So make sure you do the daily crossword or the Sudoku puzzle in newspaper or online each day. Read as much as you can, inform yourself, keep learning new things; this will help to delay cognitive decline and help you live a fuller life for longer.
