<\/strong> The proverb says laughter is the best medicine. That doesn’t mean you should stop taking any prescriptions, but studies have shown that a hearty laugh can deliver health benefits similar to those of aerobic exercise. Try phoning a friend with a good sense of humor, watching a standup routine, or even looking up some funny cat videos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/strong> Far too many of us put too much pressure on ourselves. When we fail, we are our own worst critics. If you want to live a happier, healthier life, this needs to change. Try something new: Before you get out of bed each day, spend a few seconds thinking about something nice you can do for yourself. It doesn’t have to be big\u2014maybe you\u2019ll splurge on a nonfat latte, set aside some time to read, or have lunch with a friend. Pick one thing that makes you feel good and do it for yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"Woman](\"https:\/\/www.bellemedical.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/woman-stretching-in-bed.png\")

<\/strong> Drinking plenty of water is one of the best things you can do for your body, and getting the recommended 64 ounces daily is easier than you think. Start each day by filling a jug with half a gallon of water and make it your goal to empty it by evening. If you don’t drink the whole thing, don\u2019t worry about it\u2014try again tomorrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/strong> Processed foods are quick and easy to prepare, and a lot of them taste great. Unfortunately, they are terrible for us. Maybe you can\u2019t give up all processed foods, but how about getting rid of just one a week at a time? Replace it with your favorite fruit or vegetable. Eating lots of fruits and veggies can help you lose weight, and they\u2019re high in antioxidants, which help your body battle cancer and other diseases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/strong> A long day of work, exercise, and running errands takes a toll on even the neatest of us. Before you go to bed, take the time to wash thoroughly. A nightly cleansing ritual is not only relaxing in the moment but also keeps you looking and feeling better in the morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/strong> The journey to better health is easier when you have someone walking beside you. Try asking a friend to make a change or adopt new habits with you. Accountability and encouragement can help both of you reach your goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"Two](\"https:\/\/www.bellemedical.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/friends-hiking.png\")
