Healthy Life

Everyone wants to be healthy, right? What do you do to keep your health? These are some tips for a healthier life. Just simple things to do in our daily activities.


1.    Drink a Glass of Water in the Morning
Wake up in the morning and drink at least one glass of water. Water helps to clear our system, bring on metabolism rate, flush out the toxins and helps to reduce weight.
2.   Eat Breakfast
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. If you skip it, you’ll get hungry long before lunch and will start snacking on foods that are high in fat and sugar. Don’t let your stomach empty during the day because it can damage your metabolism and digestion system. Eat vegetables and fresh fruits on your daily meal.
3.   Sleep Enough
Lack of sleep can damage your physical health (especially heart) as well. Some studies have shown that 8 hours of sleep per 24-hour period is the average requirement for adults. But all people are different and need for sleep can range from 6 to 10 hours.
4.  Do physical activity
Use any possibility to be more physically active such as use the stairs as often as possible instead of the elevator, take a daily walk, go jogging, hiking, join group sports, or riding a bicycle.
5.   Love your life
Relax! Don’t get nervous and angry easily. Don’t be too serious. Smile, love others, and always look on the bright side of your life! Happy people live longer J

Aku



Aku adalah bunga layu
ditiup angin yang menderu
di tepi jalan berdebu

kelopakku telah pudar
tak lagi segar

mahkota merunduk
lesu dan sendu
kuncup tak lagi merekah
aku haus dan kering!

merahku telah berubah kelabu
tak seperti dulu

tanpa cahaya surya
dan guyuran hujan
aku hanyalah
setangkai
bunga layu
