Day 8 of 365 new ways to a new you. Congratulations, you have made it this far. Today is the first day of the rest of your life. Are you ready for tomorrow? This is part of a series that is going to span 365 days. Some things will be subtle other activities will be more involved. At the end of the 365 days even if you do only 20 of these things you will be a new person, for better or for worse.

Before I begin with day eight, I must defer you to our Terms and Conditions .

There are several small things in our lives that we can do to make our bodies healthier. Most of these things are ignored though. They are ignored because we are just too busy. Some things fro better health elude us all together simply because we don’t know about them.

Day 8: 3 simple things to do for better health

1 simple thing
Sleep with a glass of water by your bedside. Not because you may get thirsty in the middle of the night; but to drink when you first wake up. The idea is that by drinking a glass of water first thing every morning you stimulate your lymph-nodes. Over the long run healthy lymph-nodes keep one healthier.

2nd simple thing
Chew your food. Don’t just go through the mechanical process of chewing; actually take the time to chew your food. The general rule of thumb is to chew your food 30-40 times before swallowing. By doing this one makes it easier on their digestive system and one is able to get nutrients from their food faster. You don’t have to chew 30-40 times with every bite just chew your food until you cant chew it any longer.

3rd simple thing
Floss before you go to sleep. Flossing before one goes to sleep prevents bacteria build up between your teeth over night. This in turn keeps more bacteria and germs from entering your system while you sleep. As a benefit you will have slightly better breath in the morning.
