Most of us would like to live long and fulfilled lives, but sometimes it is easier said than done. With the UK being one of the most obese nations in Europe living long and happily is not always an option. Below I would like to offer you a few simple tips that can increase your chances of living longer and being happy:

1. Try to lose weight if you need to. I know that doing so is not necessarily the easiest thing to do, but if you really struggle with it consider contacting one of the local weight loss groups and simply join them. Thanks to them you will stay motivated and you will increase the chances of losing your weight for good.

2. Consider getting a screening test such as Bluecrest health screening. Very often, prevention is the key. By realising early what your health problems might be you will have a chance to react to them in advance and possibly seek the necessary solutions. Thanks to Bluecrest health screening many people have already discovered their issues early and were able to remedy them at the earliest stages.

3. Watch what you eat. It is closely related to the point where I talked about losing weight, but even if you are not overweight or obese you still might want to watch what you eat. It definitely won’t hurt to pay attention to your salt and sugar intake as well as to the amount of alcohol you consume.

4. If you still smoke, you absolutely have to quit. Smoking is no longer popular these days and everybody who does it should seriously consider all the negative effects of it. If you smoke, not only do you do something really bad for your health, but you also put your family and friends at risk. Smoking in the presence of your children or other young people is extremely detrimental to their health because young bodies don’t respond to tobacco the way adults do.

5. Always stay positive and find ways to be happy. If you feel grumpy and pessimistic most of the time it might be a good sign to make some positive changes in your life.
