Learn – Never stop learning better ways to take care of yourself: How to change and most importantly what you want to change.

It keeps your heart pumping well, circulation going strong, brain and nerve function is optimal not to mention all of your other organs within your body as well. Simple ways to be active everyday: Go for a walk, vacuum the house, walk to the shops, mow the lawns, wash the windows, hang out the washing - just a bit of pace to these chores and it will also boost your heart rate. I prefer to do things on my own, but if you find this difficult join a walking group or a dance class.
