Keeping your body healthy can seem difficult.  However, more than ever before we are being shown lots of different ways we can do this, through various techniques. Companies and big corporations are under scrutiny to make sure that they use natural products, and there are lots of places you can go to get great health tips. But, even with all this extra help, sometimes it still helps to strip it back a bit and look at some very basic ways to keep your body in good working order.

This one might seem obvious but it is effective nonetheless – drink lots of water. Despite knowing the benefits of this, a large number of people still do not drink enough water each day. The recommended amount for adults is eight 150ml glasses of water per day, although depending on whether you are exercising or the heat it could be slightly more. Water helps to keep your body hydrated, keeps your skin healthy, and is known to help prevent kidney problems.  If you’re already experiencing kidney problems, it’s not too late to start trying out this technique and give your body a helping hand, also visiting websites and seeing the range of natural, probiotic remedies on offer would be a good idea.  If you start drinking the correct amount of water each day you will feel more refreshed and invigorated.  For more information on this go to http://www.nhs.uk/Livewell/Goodfood/Pages/water-drinks.aspx

Another obvious but underused way to keep yourself healthy is staying active. This doesn’t have to mean going to the gym or being part of a sports team, it can be as simple as taking the stairs instead of the lift or walking to nearby shops instead of driving.  If you make it fun, you probably won’t even realize you’re doing it but your body will thank you for it. Staying active means that your muscles and organs are ticking over nicely, leaving you stronger to fight off any diseases or infections.  It will also help to keep you mentally healthy too, see

This one may sound a little strange, but laughing has been proven to have excellent health benefits. Laughing relaxes the body, and it decreases levels of stress hormones, leaving you healthier and your immune system stronger. It can help with dealing with pain and have an amazing effect on your mental health too and it isn’t a hard thing to do.  Try and maintain a positive attitude and seek fun and laughter in everything you do and this could have a tremendous effect on your physical wellbeing.   http://www.helpguide.org/life/humor_laughter_health.htm has some more interesting facts about this.

So, if you’re trying to start your new health regime, maintain a healthy lifestyle, or even recover from an illness, keep these things in mind alongside your day to day activities or medication.  They are simple and effective ways to make sure you are the very best version of yourself you can be.
