How many of you want to live healthier and be healthier? That’s everyone! No one wants sickness, dis-ease, unhappiness, or mental and emotional health issues.
Let’s face it, when we are healthy we feel good and we feel like we have a purpose for being here on this planet; we feel like we can conquer the world. But when we are not functioning our best, be it physically, mentally, emotionally, or spiritually, we feel like we have no purpose in life, which results in us not living life to its fullest.
There are many things you can do to become a healthier person. And today I share with you thirty tips to help you start caring for the health of your mind, body and spirit.
Be Healthier in Your Mind, Body, and Spirit
- Love yourself and be gentle with yourself.
- Take care of yourself.
- Surround yourself with like-minded people.
- Clear the clutter and/or noise that causes you confusion.
- Be positive about your life.
- Eat whole, real food.
- Eat those foods that make you feel good.
- Enjoy the food you eat.
- Relax when you eat and be fully present with your food.
- Eat good quality food.
- Detox your mind, body and spirit.
- Be aware of stress and the role it plays in your health. Find ways to decrease your stress; getting your beauty rest is one way.
- Stay true to yourself and to what you believe.
- Let go of people, places and things that cause stress in your mind, body and spirit.
- Live your passion; do what you love.
- Do not be afraid of saying, “No.”

- If a certain exercise, diet or whatever it is that you are doing is not working for you, do not be afraid of changing paths.
- Get help when you need it. Don’t go at it alone.
- Stick with your goals of being a healthier person, follow through and never give up.

Hi Evelyn,
Really enjoyed the list, though I have one concern here. We all want to eat only healthy and real food, but why would we make sure we’re eating a real food? Any idea?
Evelyn Parham, MS says
Hey Bharat,
Thanks!
There are foods out here that are labeled and packaged as food, but they are not real food. These foods are packaged and loaded with all sorts of chemicals and some even have GMOs in them. Real, whole foods are usually not loaded with chemicals and GMOs. Real food is food that has little to no additions to them to make them be a food. It is usually a food that is minimally processed and that has very few ingredients. Real food is food that we can make meals from ourselves. That’s what I mean, when I say real food. We make sure we eat real food or whole food so we can put the best quality in our bodies, minimizing the chemicals and toxins that are often found in pre-packaged, chemically laden foods. I hope this clarifies what I mean by real food.

Thanks Evelyn,
For your quick response, I agree with your words but its really difficult to find foods which haven’t been produced by using excessive fertilizers and other chemicals. There is only one way to get real food by growing it your own and that’s also not very easy.
