Hello healthy friends!!

Do you think maintaining your health is expensive? Then try been sick!!

What do you eat to stay healthy? How can you improve your diet

Staying healthy should be one of our major goals in life. I do not like been sick so, I do all I can can to be in health all the time.

What I eat is very important to me. Generally, I love good food, I feel so much joy when I eat what I love.

To stay healthy all the time I eat balanced diet, I mean food containing the 6 classes of food. But if it's not up to 6, it must contain atleast 4 classes like protein, vitamins, carbohydrates and water.

I improve my diet by making sure that in any meal I eat, I would take take some fruit after wards. Either I make smoothie or fruit juice or I eat the fruits that way. These fruits provides my body with the needed vitamins, increase my immune system and add the digestion of my food. One the fruits I like to eat after meals is either pineapple or banana. As you can see below.

Another way I improve my diet is to make sure to keep to my food routines. One of my food routines state that in the morning for breakfast I eat very light meals containing milk to help boost my brain with the needed energy.

Also the next routine I keep is to make sure not to eat so late at night, I eat my heavy meals in the evenings like swallow with soups containing vegetables.

What is your sleeping pattern and how can you improve it

Our body works better when we find time to rest by sleeping. Am a very busy person, so my sleep is mostly at night from 11pm to 5am. This means that I sleep for 6hours.

For a long time now this has been my sleeping pattern. But other times, I find myself sleeping for less time like from 1am to 5am which is 4 hours sleep but this doesn't happen all the time.

There was even a time I didn't sleep at all. I worked all through the nights but guess what I broke down, which I was sick and since then I decided not to try that again.

To improve my sleeping pattern I have decided that during the day I would sleep for atleast 30 minutes every day. And during the night I would sleep for at least 8 hours. I would go to bed on time maybe by 9pmand wake up by 5am.

What are your daily exercise or activities? Do you need to do more

I do most of my activities at home except on Sundays where I need to attend service or the days am called upon to get to the office or run errands by my boss.

Every evening I make sure I walk from my house to the junction and back home. This is a sweet form of exercise for me because as I walk I also take time to reflect on things in my life. I walk for about 30-45minutes every day.

Each time I wake up I usual go into my kitchen to stretch my body. My kitchen serves a dual purpose for me. I do little exercises to keep my self fit for the day.

I don't think I need to do more exercise aside this, the economy alone in my country makes one already fit. If I have to do more exercise then it means that I would loose so much weight and that would no longer suit me, people might even begin to ask if am sick.

What do you do for mental fitness

The total wellbeing of an individual is very important and mental health is not an option if so. For me there are just some things I do to boost my mental health.

• I play interactive and brain engaging games on my phone.

There are just so games I love so I downloaded some on my phone while the rest comes as a pop up on my screen to use data and play. It's not only fun to play games but it keeps my mind in check.

• Second thing I do to keep fit is to read books.

I have over 2000 books in my phone, I read them not only to get knowledge but to educate my mind too and be fit. Books helps me alot when I read.

• I engage in discussions with friends and family that makes me happy.

This is the third way or thing I do for the sake of my mental health. Discussions either face to face or through calls and chats keeps my mind together!
