Simple Ways to
Live Better

FAMILY FEATURES
hen it comes to creating a healthy lifestyle, some
recommendations are fairly simple, such as exercising
regularly and eating right. Many people, however,
don’t know how much exercise they should get or
which foods are the best choices. They also may not realize there
are other ways to take care of their bodies and minds to promote
better overall health.
Start on the path to healthier living with these tips from the
wellness experts at Walgreens.
Exercise regularly.
The American Heart Association recommends at least 30 minutes
of moderate-intensity activity at least five days a week, and that’s
because an active lifestyle can help you achieve far more than
muscle mass or weight loss. Regular exercise can also contribute to
mental well-being, and even something as simple as a walking break
or two at work can provide health benefits.
Eat well.
The keys to a healthy diet are eating the right amount of calories
for your activity level and eating a wide range of foods to ensure
that you’re receiving all the nutrients your body needs. By prior
itizing great taste and ingredient guidelines, such as minimizing
hydrogenated oils, trans fats and artificial ingredients, Walgreens
Nice! products help take the guesswork out of making healthier
choices. In an effort to simplify healthy living, the line’s packaging,
products and ingredient standards were updated, and offerings now
include organic and gluten-free options in addition to traditional
baking goods and other general grocery items.
