\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There are, literally, thousands of things all of us can do.\u00a0 It’s the small changes which add up to meaningful\u00a0 health improvement.\u00a0 I’m\u00a0 offering\u00a0 a group of changes in each blog post which you can choose from.\u00a0 Choose one new thing each day if you can.<\/p>\n

My grandmother used to say to me:\u00a0 “You take care of the nickels and the dollars will take care of themselves.”\u00a0 Healthy Small Steps are the same thing.\u00a0 Add healthy habits or lose unhealthy habits a day at a time to change your life for the better.<\/p>\n

Substitute A BOTTLE OF WATER for that daily soda.\u00a0 Water is cheaper and wonderful for your urinary health.\u00a0 Don’t like water? Choose tea.\u00a0 There are many flavors out there without sugar, artificial colors, artificial flavors, in the lineup of ingredients.<\/p>\n

Spend five minutes every day STRETCHING.\u00a0 You can do this while you’re watching TV.\u00a0 \u00a0Your joints and muscles will thank you.<\/p>\n

Put OLIVE OIL in your salad dressings.\u00a0 Your food will taste better and your body will be appreciative.\u00a0 My olive oil is organic and comes from California.\u00a0 It tastes delicious.\u00a0 It’s nutritious.\u00a0 Organic olive oil is a clean food.\u00a0 My salads are yummy.<\/p>\n

Do you eat\u00a0 cereal?\u00a0 Sweeten it with CINNAMON instead of sugar.\u00a0 Your blood sugar levels will improve a bit.<\/p>\n

Give yourself a TREAT!\u00a0 Call a friend to chat.\u00a0 Buy yourself a flower.\u00a0 Have a luxurious bath with\u00a0 scented soap.\u00a0 These are all simple, inexpensive ways to reduce stress in your life.<\/p>\n

Add a POWER NAP to your day.\u00a0 Spend just a few minutes each day with your feet up, your eyes closed, breathing deeply, relaxing.\u00a0 The remainder of your day will go easier for you!<\/p>\n

Switch to WHOLE GRAINS.\u00a0 Whole grain breads and cereals taste better and offer better nutrition.\u00a0 What’s not to love about them?<\/p>\n

Sniff a sprig of ROSEMARY.\u00a0 This will give your brain a treat.\u00a0 You’ll be more alert and you’ll enjoy the scent.\u00a0 If you can’t get a sprig of rosemary, try putting a drop of rosemary essential oil on a tissue as a substitute.<\/p>\n

QUIT SMOKING.\u00a0 Okay.\u00a0 This one may not be so easy, but the benefits are HUGE.\u00a0 Go for it!<\/p>\n

Get a good night’s SLEEP.\u00a0 Okay, this one may not be so easy, either.\u00a0 But the benefits are also HUGE.\u00a0 For starters, schedule enough sleep time in every daily schedule.<\/p>\n

Try some of these tips.\u00a0 Lifestyle changes have multiple health benefits.\u00a0 I’ll be sending more along in the next blog.<\/p>\n

And, thanks for reading this blog post.<\/p>\n

BOOK UPDATE:\u00a0 The second edition of “A Healer’s Handbook” should be out this week!\u00a0 And, I’ve begun volume 2!<\/p>\n

I thank all of you for this.\u00a0 If no one were reading this book, this blog, there would be no need for a Volume 2.<\/p>\n

Please share this article with your preferred social media network.<\/p>\n

Thanks again<\/p>\n
