Too many times we think health is merely the absence of illness. This is actually not the case at all…In order to have the best health possible through our lives, we now know that we have to practice “healthy habits” all of the time. Healthy Habits do not have to be something to dread. We can develop good habits for our bodies, minds and spirits that give us satisfaction and make us happy.

Take for example eating. Maybe you love sweets and love to munch down a doughnut or piece of cake. But maybe if you tried something different and something more healthy, such as yogurt mixed with fresh fruit and granola it might be just as satisfying and also might provide more nutrition for you than the other. After a few hours your body may feel better from having had a nutritious snack as opposed to a less nutritious snack.

Are you the person who hates to exercise and sits on the couch watching TV? Maybe if you took ½ hour each day and did an outdoor walk you would feel better, being outdoors, enjoying the fall leaves.

To be healthy is an attitude- one of changing bad behaviors to good ones!
