We asked readers on the Palm Coast and Ormond Beach Observer Facebook and Twitter what their best advice for healthy living was. There are their responses.
Spend time in prayer, counting your blessings and trusting in your Heavenly Father to walk with you through the tough times.
Marian Strong Tomblin
Be consistent. Choose a lifestyle that you can stick with and don't do crash diets. Eat to live, don't live to eat.
Toni Lynne Yaple
Don’t get stressed!
Elizabeth Jones
Shop on the outside of the grocery store (dairy, produce, meat.) Most of the processed stuff is on the aisles.
Thea Mathen
Treat your workouts, your meditation/prayer time, like appointments you have to keep. Eat better foods and smaller portions.
Marisa Mackie
Don't stop breathing.
Irene Pickering
Don't work!
Paul Burke
Go vegetarian! Buy as much organic as you can. Drink 4-8 glasses of water a day. Do some light exercise each day that includes stretching!
Cristina Bonomolo-Ryan
Avoid smoking and raw oysters.
David B. Hayes
Chocolate, lots of it. It comes from the cocoa bean which comes from a tree; therefore, it is a vegetable.
Charles Sherman Gardner
No such thing as a diet. It is nutrition and lifestyle changes and understanding your personal body chemistry. No two humans are the same.
Mari Luciano
Start with the mind, and the body will follow. Know Jesus!
Jason Marin
The healthiest thing I've ever done for my life is be happy.
Lyric McLain Hart
Get a pet.
Shirley Sites Hartman
Take processed food and soft drinks out of your diet! Try to eat less red meat and none at all if you can. And in the words of James Brown: Get up offa that thing; shake til you feel better!
Betty Smith
Let hate and jealousy go. They can only hurt your health. Forgiveness is the best medicine.
Bettie Mustin
Fresh air. Enjoy some of the free things in life.
James Holland
Only eat what was created by God for us to eat. If it was made by man (soda, ice cream, chips), don't eat it!
