You can start today - right now, even - on a road to feeling better, looking better, living longer and enjoying a far better quality of life.

We're all familiar with repparttar big steps: If you smoke, do yourself and those who love you a huge favor - STOP. It'll be repparttar 135625 best, though possibly repparttar 135626 hardest, gift you ever give them.

Nix unhealthy vices such as drinking, speeding, taking your health and safety for granted, etc.

However many fruits and vegetables you consume, double that!

Those are repparttar 135627 "Big Ones", and I don't have to tell you how important they are, but this article is about repparttar 135628 "Little Ones". They don't have repparttar 135629 publicity of repparttar 135630 larger steps, but they're every bit as important.

In no particlular order, here are repparttar 135631 small steps I'd love for you to start taking. Ideally, you'll take each and every step each and every day - but realistically, you should just aim at doing just as many as you can, just as often as you can. Let's get to it!

Limit empty calories. You can't cut them out entirely, but try to ditch as many sodas, doughnuts, cookies, chips, fries, etc, as you can. Next time you go to your favorite fast food restaurant (go ahead and admit it, I've seen you there!), have a salad in place of repparttar 135632 fries and drink tea instead of pop.

Replace eating red meat with chicken or fish at every opportunity. The steps will be even bigger if you make sure repparttar 135633 chicken or fish is grilled or baked instead of fried.

If you're trying to lose weight, switch to using artificial sweetener in your tea and coffee, and switch to a diet drink. A while back, I began a weight loss regime. I simply began using repparttar 135634 little pink packets in my morning coffee instead of sugar, and I sweetened my tea with artificial sweetener instead of repparttar 135635 cup of sugar I normally used. The final switch I made was going from Dr. Pepper to Diet Dr. Pepper. These are repparttar 135636 only changes I made to my diet, and I quickly lost over 10 pounds. You quickly get accustomed to (and even begin to prefer!) repparttar 135637 diet drinks and sweetener. I literally can't stand repparttar 135638 taste of regular pop now, something I was once incredibly addicted to.
