On starting a healthy lifestyle

In lieu with my newly discovered way to relieve back pains, I will try to live a healthy lifestyle starting… NOW. I realized that even though I am still young, I need to start taking care of my body. The Yoga class I attended earlier became some sort of an eye opener for me. The instructor not only taught yoga, but also gave plenty of healthy living tips. Since I was a new student, she suggested some things for me to do so that I can become healthy and fit. One of the things she suggested was to cut on carbs and start munching on veggies and fruits.

In the conversation, I had the chance to really look at my instructor up close. At age 35, her body was so slim and fit and her skin was almost glowing. If not for her certificate framed on the wall, I would have thought that she was my age. I asked how she maintains her youthful appearance and she told me that she just do what is best for the body. This includes exercise, lots of fluids, eating veggies, and staying away from sunlight during noon time. For the face she told me to use an wrinkle cream and always smile.

It’s never too early to start caring for your body. After all, prevention is always better than cure.
