TIPS IN IMPROVING
Staying properly hydrated
helps the body's cells to
function more efficiently.
Cutting back on sugary
drinks is good for your
dental health, your weight,
and your budget.
A study by the Food
Nutrition Research
Institute found that 8 out
10 kids are not drinking
enough water to keep
them hydrated and
healthy. The infographics

of dehydration on
children and other
sources of water, aside
from plain water.
2. Eat more fruits and
vegetables and less fast food
Fruits and vegetables contain
natural vitamins and minerals
your body needs to function
optimally. Snack on apples
instead of chips, enjoy a carrot
instead of french fries.
3. Exercise regularly.
You don't have to become a gym
member to exercise. Take a walk, ride a
bike, or jog around the neighborhood.
During inclement weather, head to the
local mall or exercise at home. Push-
ups, sit-ups, leg lifts, lunges, and
stretching go a long way toward
improving your health.
4. Get a good night's sleep.
Remember when you were a kid and
your teacher told you to get a good
night's rest the day before a big
test? There was a reason for that.
Sleep allows the body to restore
itself, cells to repair themselves, and
the brain to reboot. Seven or eight
hours each night should do the
trick.
5. Wash your hands.
Most viruses are spread by coming in contact
with something a sick person touched:
doorknob, water fountain, or flusher. You
touch those items and then, without giving it a
second thought, touch your face or grab a bite
of food. The next thing you know, you're sick.
The simplest solution to this is to wash your
hands regularly. Washing them well before
you eat and after you use the restroom will
eliminate the majority of the germs.
