TIPS FOR HEALTHY LIVING 


 By Seth Winsor

 1 – Drink water – slowly start eliminating sugary drinks and replace with water. So many of us are dehydrated, but it’s so normal to us now, that we don’t even realize it. A few studies have shown that those attempting to lose weight, have much greater success if they start making water their drink of choice. Our bodies are composed primarily of water, so we need to make sure we stay hydrated!
2 – Exercise - Just do something you enjoy – you don’t need to start training for a marathon, or be able to bench press your body weight. Start going for long walks – join a sports team – join a gym and participate in group exercise classes. Just find something you can enjoy and do several times a week, if not daily. Exercising daily for 30 minutes helps increase your chance at a longer life. We live a much to sedentary lifestyle, and it’s one of the reasons why we are seeing an increase cardiovascular related diseases.
3- Eat Fruit! - This is a great way to get your daily vitamins and, its basically natures candy – instead of eating a candy bar, try eating an apple, kiwis, or some strawberries. You will satisfy your palate, and be eating healthy at the same time!
4- Eat healthy meals and Learn to cook!
Saying eat healthy is probably the most overused advice when it comes to healthy lifestyle advice. But it is also one of the most necessary. As a secondary piece of advice...start learning how to cook, if you don’t know how to already. In our fast-paced world, we eat a lot more processed food than we should which leads to vitamin deficiencies and overeating. Learning to cook will naturally lead to healthier eating since you are using natural ingredients, rather than throwing a frozen pizza in the oven.
Try to have a balanced meal with some fruits and veggies and lean meats like chicken or turkey. Also, try eating smaller meals and portions. You would be surprised at how filling fruits and veggies can be. Perhaps start using smaller plates so you don’t feel like your need to fill this huge dinner plate, and end up eating a 1200 calorie dinner.
I recommend looking into a diet called the Keto diet if your goal is to lose weight.
5- Hang out with healthy people
If you want to make a change in your life, its easiest if you surround yourself with people who believe in what you are doing. Try to get your friends on board with your healthy journey – Maybe 1 or 2 will want to walk this journey with you and really help you out. However, if they are not supportive, it might be time to find other groups to be with.

KIDS AND PORNOGRAPHY - HOW TO STOP THEM Do you know what your teenager/younger one is doing on that data enabled phone or iPad??* Don't be caught unaware. Pornography is available with just one click. How about social media? Do you have any control over how much time they spend on it when they should be studying or sleeping? I am sure you worry about these things even though you realize that they need these devices as a means of communication and even learning. But as good parents, we must protect the minds of our teenagers and children. I thought it was a joke when my pastor's wife told me that there is a mobile application that I can download, just like I downloaded WhatsApp.  I did not believe it could actually protect my son until I tried it out myself. I have visited www.mindguard.com.ng and I have downloaded the parent app on my phone and the digital coach on my child's phone so that I can protect him from the dangers associated with the internet without...
