Here are my Top Ten Health Tips for the month of April. I hope these help you. Watch, Apply and enjoy the benefits of living a healthier lifestyle.

1. To keep your mind extra sharp, you should vary your daily routines and always attempt to learn new things frequently!
2. Having good posture will strengthen your abdominals and your lower back. When you are waling or sitting focus on your posture and keep your abs tighten as much as you can. This is an abdominal workout in it’s self.
3. Listen to soft music when eating. A study at John Hopkins University discovered that listening to soft music while you eat helps you eat less and chew slower.
4. Develop a plan when exercising. Outline your goals and determine what it tools you are going to need, set deadlines, make a list of steps, take immediate action and implement daily strategies to help make your plan your reality.
5. If you feel hungry, you might actually be thirsty. Try drinking a big glass of water, then wait 20 minutes and if you are still hungry then have a healthy snack like fruit or baby carrots.
6. Try Interval Training for fat loss. I am a HUGE fan of this and I also discovered a study that was done recently at the University of New South Wales in Sydney which discovered that women who spent 20 minutes mixing sprints and jogging lost more than 3 times the fat off their legs and butt in 15 weeks than those who jogged steadily for 40 minutes. I believe that men will receive very similar benefits as well. The study just happened to be on women. I have used this training method for many years with my clients and myself with GREAT results!
7. Determine how much water your body needs. A simple calculation to determine the amount of water your body requires is to divide your weight in pounds by half. This is the approximate amount of water needed in ounces daily.
8. Encourage yourself to eat more fruits and vegetables. Simply place them on the counter in plain view perhaps in a basket. Hide all your junk food in cabinets where you can’t see it or just simply don’t buy it.
9. To improve Digestion, drink your fluids at room temperature. Constantly drinking hot and cold beverages slows down the digestion process significantly. I keep my bottled water in the cabinet, not in the fridge.
10. Break a sweat for more energy. If you are feeling tired after work try doing some vigorous exercising and breaking a sweat instead of watching tv, eating or surfing the web. It will re energize you for the evening and you will actually get more done.
