People say that good health and vitality are all the riches that one needs.

In addition to eating green vegetables, fish and fruits, taking vitamins and exercising regularly, here are a few simple tips that you can incorporate into your daily life to boost your health.

Wash your hands: Germs and viruses are passed easily from hand to mouth, just think about all the surfaces you touch everyday. Yes, even the keyboard is filthy! Wash your hands many times a day, with soap and water.

Cry me a river: Have a good cry, it will reduce stress hormones and cleans your eyes out.

Got milk?: Drink warm milk before going to bed, milk contains tryptophan (an amino acid), that can help you sleep better.

Floss away: Regularly floss your teeth, this is the best way to prevent gum disease and the build up of plaque.

Zzzzzzz: Have a good nights rest (about 6-8 hours). If you are tired during the day, then take a cat nap for about 20 mins. You will feel refreshed and energetic.

Skip the elevator, take the stairs: If you only have a few flights, take the stairs. It will help you burn calories, increase blood flow, make you energetic and healthier.

Relax: Take some form of relaxation to calm your nerves and release all the tension in your muscles. Meditation, visualization, yoga… anything is fine!

Avoid drinking too much alcohol during a week: It is harmful to your brain and liver cells. Also, the constant hangovers aren’t good for you or your work.

Walkabout: Take a walk after a large meal. It will keep your blood flowing and help digest the food.

Travel tips

When packing, remember all medicine you're taking for your asthma, including rescue and controller medicines. Keep your medications in your carry-on bags so they're always with you. It's also a good idea to pack a little extra medication, so you don't run out while you're on the road.
