Here 7 Steps How to Be Healthy and Slim

1.   Eat
Eat well, eat often--4-6 small meals a day to optimize your metabolism and keep your body energized and in balance. Don't deny yourself treats, but make sure that the majority of your food choices are high in nutrients, fiber, "good fats," and lean protein. Local, in-season, and organic when possible? All the better.

2.   Limit junk food. 
Junk food is probably the main reason why you're not healthy or not at a good weight.  Of course you can still eat it.  If it's a Friday night and your friends are going out to get ice cream, why not join them?  Just be careful with sugary sweets.

3.   Snack on Berries, Help Stave Off Cancer
Cancer is a frightening thing. Fortunately, some of the most powerful anticancer weapons can be found in your pantry. The foods you eat might be able to starve cancer cells. need access to the blood supply. Your blood vessels are a highway of nutrients. When a cancer cell starts to grow, even before it's detectable by your doctor, it must build a ramp so it can hijack nutrients from the blood supply. Berries may help prevent that ramp from forming. They also contain antioxidants, which reduce inflammation and oxidative stress and may help guard against certain cancers.

4.   Get enough sleep.
If you don't get a healthy amount of sleep, 1, you won't be healthy at all, and 2, you might put on some extra weight.  Your body burns more calories when you're asleep, so try to squeeze in at 8-10 hours, 6 MINIMUM.

5.   Love
Falling in love feels great, we all know that. Love triggers the release of all manner of feel-good brain chemicals that bathe our bodies in happiness and well-being... even protection from illness.

6.   Exercise. 
Don't do extreme weight lifting, especially if you're young, because this can wreck your body, and even though you may get big, you'll weigh more because of all that muscle. Instead, do light exercising.  You know, yoga, running, biking, sports, and stuff like that.  Also make some time to exercise.  Park a bit further away from school and walk!

7.   Drink lots of water. 
Water is very good for you, and there's nothing bad about the taste, even though it may taste kind of boring and plain.   Try to drink at least 5 glasses a day, 8 if you can. Water helps you feel fuller so that you don't overeat.  Drink PURE water.
