If one researches the elements of a healthy lifestyle, there are

clearly defined elements that are universal to longevity and good

health:

* Healthy Diet * Exercise * Reduce Stress

Healthy Diet:

Volumes have been written about healthy diets but all experts

agree that crash and/or gimmick diets do not work and are risky

for good health. A sensible diet that includes good proportions

of fruits and vegetables are the bets for your health. Drinking

regular amounts of pure water also serves as the basis of healthy

living.

The trick to losing weight is follow a balanced, health plan and

stick to it. This means that moderation is the key.

Exercise:

Again, moderation and regularity are the keys. Aggressive

exercise regimes are fine for athletes but for the normal person,

over strenuous exercise regimes are soon abandoned and they can

be dangerous to your health. The best is to gradually increase

your activity and simple walking is an excellent way to achieve

the exercise requirements of your body.

Reduce Stress:

Most experts agree that stress can be a killer and we live in a

world of stress. Ours is a fast paced, competitive environment

and most people react poorly to stressful events and often

internalize stress as part of their daily living.

One of the best ways to eliminate a great deal of stress is

meditation. Meditation describes a state of concentrated

attention on some object of thought or awareness. It usually

involves turning the attention inward to the mind itself.

Meditation is often recognized as a component of Eastern

religions, where it has been practiced for over 5,000 years.

(Source: Wikipedia).

Meditation is recognized in almost all religious to create a

spirit of serenity but meditation has secular applications as

well. Yoga practitioners for example, rely on meditation to

achieve a relaxed and focused state and some physical fitness

trainers and martial arts practitioners also rely on meditation

for relaxation and focus.

But everyone can benefit from meditation. The benefits come

quickly and meditation can reduce blood pressure and generally

create a feeling of well being and contentment that is important

to a healthy lifestyle. The technique of meditation is simple to

learn and if one meditates for as little as 15 minutes a day,

positive results will be achieved.

Tea and Meditation:

A cup of high quality loose leaf tea taken before and after

meditation will add to the experience. The tea can be a single

garden estate black, green, oolong or white variety or one of the

many quality blends on the market today.

Drinking tea creates a distinct feeling of well being by itself

and, when combined with daily meditation reduces stress and

prepares one for the stress of a hard day and a life of health

and longevity.
