Drink more water
Most of us actually don’t drink enough water every day. 
Water is essential for our body to function. Water is 
needed to carry out our body functions, remove waste and 
carry nutrients and oxygen around our body. 
Since we lose water every day through urine, bowel 
movements, perspiration and breathing, we need to 
replenish our water intake.

Get enough sleep
When you don’t rest well, you compensate by eating 
more. Get enough rest and you don’t need to snack to 
stay awake. Also, lack of sleep causes premature aging, 
and you wouldn’t want that.

Exercise
Not just a few times a week, but every day. Movement is 
life. Research has shown that exercising daily brings 
tremendous benefits to our health, including increase of 
life span, lowering of risk of diseases, higher bone density 
and weight loss.

Eat more fruit
Fruit are a plethora of vitamins and minerals. Fill your 
palate with these 10 most nutritious fruit: watermelon, 
apricots, avocado, apple, cantaloupe, grapefruit, kiwi, 
guava, papaya and strawberries.

Eat more vegetables
Like fruits, vegetables are important for the well being of 
our health. Experts suggest that we should have 5-9 
servings of fruits/vegetables, and unfortunately most 
people don’t even have at least 5 servings!

Say no to oily food
Reduce your intake of fast food, fries, doughnuts, chips, 
wedges, and foods that have been deep fried. Not only are 
they very fattening (1 tablespoon of oil is 120 calories), 
deep fried food contains acrylamide, a potential cancer-
causing chemical.

Turn goals into a 
priority
 Encourage the habit to jot down a few of your goals and 
aspirations on a sticky note or find images that remind you 
of the goals and place them in offices, on bedroom mirrors 
or on desktops.

Stay strong
It's easy to lose sight of goals if we have derailed them in 
some way. Just remind your clients that even if they have 
dropped the ball for a few days, that it doesn't mean they 
have to completely start over. 
And more importantly, stop the excuses and keep going. 
The end reward will be worth it.
