When you go for a walk, or simply drink a glass of milk, did you realize how much good you were doing for your body? Being healthy is one of the most important things in life. You should always try and stay healthy!

Here are a few ways you can try to keep yourself feeling nice and refreshed:

1. Be Optimistic: When you feel sick or got caught with a cold, you should realize that most of it is all in your head! Try and feel happy. Smile when somebody does something nice to you. Always look out for the good side of things! For an example, if you see a half filled glass of your favorite drink, always think positive. Say it's half filled instead of saying it's half empty!

2. Meditate: Meditation is a soothing art discovered in the olden times. I suggest a good meditation class, or, just simply sit in a nice, quite room, and breath in and out... SLOWLY!

3. Eat: EAT! You should always eat something in the morning, afternoon and evening (some folks eat smaller meals more often, too). Food gives you energy and keeps you alert on what's going on! But try not to eat anything that's greasy or something with too much sugar. Most of that usually turns into fat or something equally bad for you. The healthy portions are always better, like fruits, veggies, etc.

4. Drink: As much as eating, you should also drink! Especially water! Did you know that your body is almost 90% water? AMAZING! Always make sure that you at least 8 litres of water per day. What else is important? MILK! Milk gives calcium and is extremely useful if you want to get rid of a tan, because it also has vitamin D, which helps your skin heal.

5. Fresh Air: Instead of being stuck in your stuffy room, go out side and breathe the fresh air! Take a walk! But make sure you don't go to a place with to much pollution. That my friend, is unhealthy.

There's just a few things you can do to stay healthy. Here are two things you should NOT do!

Smoke cigarettes, chew tobacco, etc. -- There are a lot of bad things of smoking: it causes bad breath, burns out lungs, and even gives cancer! Take my advice: stay cool, and do NOT smoke!
Be pessimistic -- Even if you are shy, it isn't as bad as being pessimistic. Pessimism can cause stress and can make your friends or acquaintances start to dislike you!

After following a couple of the good rules myself, I found out that doing at least two of them should make you healthier!

Being healthy is one of the main concerns of life, so remember: Being healthy equals being happy! :D
