*The Ultimate Healthy Living Guide*

*The Ultimate Healthy Living Guide*

Sometimes we tend to get overwhelmed with getting or staying healthy. I believe that we have a tendency to complicate things more for ourselves when the solution is quite simple to begin with. Staying on track with maintaining a healthy lifestyle can definitely be difficult at times. But, if we all make conscious decisions every day to incorporate at least some healthy habits we can all be in a somewhat better space. I don't think eating healthy is that hard or even that costly, those are just excuses in my opinion. Sometimes we don't have any clue what to cook/eat and that's why I chose to create this guide. I feel that it's okay to indulge every now and again, but everything in moderation. When you eat a load of crap you feel like a load of crap. You'll notice that after eating a not so healthy meal you feel very sluggish. Whereas when you eat fresh fruit & vegetables or a more healthier meal you feel energized. You are what you eat! If you want to feel more alive you should strive to eat more fresh lively foods! I have formulated a list of food ideas that I believe can work for everyone who is looking to cut down on the fast food lifestyle and be on a healthier path. Of course if you have our own stipulations on what you consume or don't consume you can skip those certain suggestions. For almost everything we eat there is a healthier alternative to that available, so you can tweak these ideas anyway you like to fit your specific needs and tastes.

Also following the list of different food ideas you will find 25 tips that I believe can aid in the process of improving your lifestyle to a healthier one overall, if followed. If you take the time to incorporate some or all of these suggestions I can guarantee you'll feel much more alive and better overall. Take good care of your body and it will take care of you in return. That's the goal!

If you're unsure about what some of these are or how to go about it you can always do some more research.
