¶ … learning about how you can promote your health best is to read up on the latest news and expert advice about it. I have often learned a great deal about the matter through the Internet, which offers the latest tips on diet and exercise. My favorite source of online information is at the MSN website, which has a home page dedicated to health. This online source provides up-to-date information on new and improved exercise techniques and dieting methods, on ways to maintain emotional health through relaxation and meditation, and on news over the latest research findings related to health.

I try to promote my health best by trying to maintain healthy eating habits and by keeping my exercise schedule as a daily routine. I often eat six small meals a day instead of the three large ones that are usually taken. I try to eat foods low in calories and fats and high in vitamins, minerals, proteins, etc. I often change around the types of foods I eat each day so that I can experience a variety of dishes; also, it is said that changing around helps the body to maintain a high metabolic rate. I often do not try any popular dieting methods and I never try diet pills. I also never engage in bad habits, such as smoking, doing drugs, and drinking.

As for exercising, I try to maintain at least thirty minutes of vigorous exercise every day. I own some good exercise videos whose routine I often follow and I focus on exercises that are good for the stomach and legs. I also run on the treadmill I own at home and do some occasional weightlifting. I also try to find out about ways to maintain my emotional health; I try out the latest relaxation techniques to control stress and learn about ways to prevent it from building up in my life. It is best to always keep oneself informed about how to maintain sound physical and emotional health, since there is always some new and interesting information out there about it all the time.
