Looking and feeling great is the result of healthy living. Do you believe that?

Maybe, like most people, you're confused about how to take care of your health. Ads, commercials and constantly being bombarded with medical advice can make us forget simple healthy living common sense guidelines. Here's the problem.

We're victims of a common destructive belief system.

The common belief today is to use caffeine for energy, mood drugs and junk food to feel good, doctors and insurance for health care and plastic surgery to look good.
What ever happened to healthy living?

Are you tired of being controlled by this crazy common belief system? If you've had it with all this nonsense, you're ready for common sense health.

Here are 7 guidelines that will help you look and feel your best – naturally.

1. Eat healthy. Natural good quality food is the perfect fuel for the human body. But that's not what the vast majority are eating. Coke, fries and fast food cheeseburgers make up the most common lunch in America. And it's destroying us. Avoid the garbage and begin eating healthier. Your body will thank you in many ways.

2. Drink water. There are many popular drinks that act like poison to your body. Colas, coffee and alcohol have no useful purpose in a healthy diet. Your body is 60% water that has to be replenished daily. Drink more pure simple water – it's your fountain of youth.

3. Get daily exercise. It's natural for humans to exercise. But our modern lifestyle doesn't support physical activity. Most people sit or stand all day at a job, then sit in the car to drive home, to sit all night in front of the TV or computer. It's essential to find a way to squeeze at least a half-hour a day of exercise into your busy schedule.

4. Reduce stress. A certain amount of stress is good – as in exercise. Actually, exercise is stress that relieves stress. But most of the self-imposed stress in your life makes you feel overwhelmed, upset, used and abused. Relax. Let some of it go.

5. Be responsible for your health. Nobody cares as much about your well being as you. No matter what the "health-care" slogans say, doctors are trained in cutting and poisoning out sickness, not in nutrition and prevention. So don't "ask your doctor" unless absolutely necessary. If you want to be healthy, take responsibility for your own health.

6. Manage your thoughts. The human mind is a power tool. But we use it mainly against ourselves, wasting our thoughts on worry, fear, blame, shame and resentment. Start using the infinite power of your mind to envision and support a healthier you.

7. Enjoy your life right now. Living longer would be great – if you're happy and healthy. If not, why bother. Your own health and happiness is your responsibility. As Abraham Lincoln said, "Most people are just about as happy as they make up their minds to be." So make up your mind to be happy. And go for it!
