Here's your list of 4 healthy living steps that are ready to go. Let's get started.
1)Eat Healthy Foods:
The best of the best healthy foods are leafy greens. Studies found that middle-aged people who consumed the equivalent of a cup of cooked greens daily were half as likely to die in the next four years as those who ate no greens.

2)Exercise Regularly:
Many studies found that regular exercise can help boost your healthy lifestyle.
Go to the gym at least 3 times per week. Exercise at least 1 full hour, take rests between workouts and sets.
Go for a walk or jog. Take your dog out for a walk. Make sure you're moving at a moderate speed for at least 30 minutes.
