2 – Be active for at least 30 minutes a day

Being active is synonymous with good health, it pumps blood around our bodies, helps prevent us from becoming overweight and keeps our lungs and other vital organs functioning well. According to the British Medical Journal, we can cut our risk of having a stroke in half by being active for just 30 minutes a day.

3 – Avoid cigarettes and excessive alcohol

Excess alcohol can inflame the lining of the oesophagus, stomach and intestine. It can impair digestion by reducing the amount of acid and digestive enzymes in the stomach. It the very best excessive alcohol will lead to indigestion and diarrhoea, and, at the worse, it will cause certain forms of cancer, sclerosis of the liver and death. Equally as detrimental to our health are cigarettes, which contain more than 150 poisonous gases that make smokers more prone to gastric ulcers, certain types of cancer and accelerates intestinal mortality.

Overeating can lead to multiple health problems including diarrhoea, constipation, being bloated, haemorrhoids and abdominal pain.
