Healthy life is a dream for every one of us. None of us want to visualize ourselves under the care of doctors in the medical wards with all the medical equipment around them. But the question is how many of us are working towards making this healthy life dream, a reality? 

With simple change in lifestyle, food habits and thinking, all of us can move closer towards living a healthy life. If you think healthy life is all related to expensive foods and hardest changes in lifestyles, this post is for you. Here we listed out top 10 tips that can make you healthier with very little efforts from your side.

1. Drinking More Water is a Saviour

Water cleanses all the cells of our body, when taken at the right time and in right amount. It protects the cells from dehydration and keeps them happy and hale. When you drink more water, your body can flush out those toxins in your body very easily. 

Tip: Drink more water when your stomach is empty - soon after you wake up, one to two hours after heavy meals, and lesser water just enough for swallowing and to aid digestion after you take up food. 

2. Rainbow Colours are good for Health

Fill your plate with food of different colours. Such colour rich food contains antioxidants which shield your body from many ailments.

Tip: Opt for different foods that are colour intense - beetroots, capsicum, carrot, green leafy vegetables, brown or black rice, tomatoes, cherries, melons, oranges, etc. 

3. Focus on Variety

When you stick to only certain types of food, as many people do, your body is deprived of other nutrients that are found in the foods that you do not eat. This may cause vitamin deficiencies and other health problems.

Tip: Eat more variety of foods. Treat your body the nutrition that can be obtained from as many foods as possible.
