It is an old truth that health  is much more than not being ill. Being healthy implies that both your physical and psychological selves are balanced and, thus, that you are ready to face everyday deeds and problems.

Daily life burdens (from routinary traffic jams to a demanding boss or successive bad-slept nights) affect our physical and mental health making us more prone to stress and to suffering from stress-related diseases. Many a time, we cannot change many of the things that stress us out: we can’t find a new job with a more comprehensive boss or we can’t avoid getting stuck in the traffic every other day. However, we are definitely able to incorporate little healthy habits to our daily life that will, for sure, make important and significant changes in our health.

One little habit that’s worth adopting is not skipping breakfast. And, of course, eating a healthy one! A cup of tea or coffe with a dab of low fat milk, some cereals or a couple of bread toasts with light marmalade and low-fat cream cheese and a glass of orange juice or a fruit is a hearty and healthy breakfast that fuels your body with the necessary proteins, vitamins and minerals to jump-start your day. You can also skip the bus or driving your car and go to work on your bike. It’s not only more ecological but it’s also a way to do some physical exercise. Many cities have designed special riding lanes for bikers so you may even be able to sort out those awful traffic jams. Two solutions packed into one!
