On this page are a list of basic good health habits which, embraced and carried out, would definitely have a positive impact on anyone's health. With this list, you will be able to formulate a good health plan for yourself.

Most of these good health tips are virtually free, while others replace the habits and things which you may currently be doing or using.

Drink more water
Water is critical to good health. Our bodies are over 80% water! Water carries out many functions in the body -- it lubricates, carries nutrients, flushes toxins, cools, etc. Many diseases have been linked to dehydration or lack of water. Freshly squeezed fruit and vegetable juices as well as herbal teas are good. This is perhaps THE most important of this list of good health habits.

Eat a variety of whole and natural foods
Whole foods contain more nutrients and fiber than processed foods. The nutrients in whole foods are also better assimilated by the body. We would be getting all the different nutrients which we need; try to have a colorful diet - i.e. fruits, vegetables, beans, etc of different colors.

Eat organic
Commercially farmed vegetables and fruits are often genetically modified or sprayed with chemical pesticides. We are ingesting all these harmful toxins every day, at every meal, and the buildup causes disease in the long run. Eating organic reduces our intake of these poisons. Organic produce also contains more nutrients, which are natural and thus better assimilated by our bodies.

Drink some fresh fruit and / or vegetable juice everyday
Freshly squeezed fruit and vegetable juices are power-packed nutritional blasts -- they contain many vitamins, minerals, enzymes and phytochemicals essential for good health.

Avoid poison and toxic intake in your food
Avoid foods with unnatural and chemical additives, preservatives, coloring and flavoring. Learn to read food labels. Avoid alcohol, cigarettes, refined sugar and all kinds of drugs. These substances weaken you and accumulate in your body, causing long-term harm.

Exercise regularly
Humans were made to move. Our blood and lymphatic circulation, blood oxygen levels, heart strength, lung capacity, elimination systems, fitness, mood, etc are all improved with exercise. Modern day living and modern technology have reduced us to such sedentary beings that we are sorely lacking in exercise.

Develop a healthy relationship with yourself
Learn to listen to yourself, as well as to express yourself; suppressing your thoughts and feelings and keeping everything to yourself is very bad for health. Very importantly, learn to love yourself.

Help others
Many natural healers and spiritual teachers stress the importance of helping others in achieving personal good health. My take is, what goes around comes around; when we help others, somehow, we are helping ourselves too.

This list of good health habits will help you to formulate for yourself a good health plan, and you can then be well on the road to good health!

Here's wishing you a healthy life ahead!
