Tips for good health

There are loads of old wives tales and old phrases which you'll have been told dozens of times - things like "Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise" , Eat fish its good for your brains, Starve a Cold, Feed a Fever" or "Feed a cold, Starve a Fever" (Although we can't remember what way round), Don't go outside with a wet head or you will catch a cold, If you sweep under a woman's feet she won't get married, A sneezing cat is a sign of future wealth,If you eat cabbage you will grow large breasts, eat your crusts and you'll have curly hair...

Some of these are common sense - get enough sleep and you'll be refreshed to make a success of the day ahead, scientists have found that fish oils are good for you, but some of the others might be a bit dubious - although despite frequent warnings I never ate my crusts as a child and now have very straight hair!

We thought we'd offer up our top hints for keeping in good health - they're very simply - and you should have a think about ways of bringing them into your lifestyle.

1. Get enough sleep. This should probably be top of everyone's list. We all work too hard, get up too early, work long hours so we should get more sleep than we do. Either work out how to get an extra half hour by going to bed early or changing your morning routine. Have a lie in once in a while at the weekend.
2. Eat a balanced diet. Don't think you have to cut out all your favourite things - just try and not eat all one type of food. The government recommend 5 pieces of fruit or veg a day. Sounds hard work until you find that a glass of orange juice counts as one, then make a healthy snack of fruit somewhere in the day, two veg with meals and then some more fruit... or some other combination.
3. Drink plenty of liquids. That means water not tea or coffee. Have a couple of extra glasses of water during the day.
4. Relax. Find time to unwind and do some things you like.
5. Don't smoke. Digusting habit. You smell like an ashtray you know!
6. Look both ways crossing the road.
7. Smile. Its good for you.
8. Exercise. Walk somewhere every day!
9. Drink less alcohol. You'll lose weight and feel better!
10. Stay out of the sun! Only mad dogs and english men go out in the mid day sun! A tan may look nice but makes the skin look older than it is and increases your risk of skin cancer.

We know this list isn't exhaustive , and that before you change any aspect of your life such as diet or exercise regime you might want to check with your health care professional but these small steps could make all the difference.
