Health & Fitness Tips:1) Take the stairs every day To add strength to leg muscles and get a cardiovascular workout at the same time, try climbing plain old stairs. This can be done at home, in your office, apartment building, or on stair-climbing machines in the gym. Climbing two steps at a time is good for building the quadriceps (thigh muscles) and the gluteus (butt). Going down steps builds strength in the quadriceps and to a lesser extent, the hamstrings.

2) Reduce food intake at night times Everyone knows, whether they want to admit it or not, reducing calories will help you to lose weight. However, just as you should reduce the calorie intake, you need to know when to eat. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day and the one meal that should not be missed. Lunch should be healthy but a less than what you ate for breakfast. As you approach dinner, eat healthy but light. Avoid after dinner snacks or eating before bed!

3) Drink before you're thirsty! Don't wait until your thirsty before having a drink of water. When you feel thirsty you're already dehydrated. Drink water constantly throughout the day to stay hydrated. Submitted by: Kate Mitchell from Newcastle, England Rated: 0 Times | Average Score: 0 | Rating Points: 0
4) Reduce your daily caffeine intake Caffeine can dehydrate your body so try to remove it from your daily intake. This may require some weaning, but when done, you will feel much better. If you feel that you need something, instead of grabbing a cub of caffeinated coffee or soda, try drinking herbal tea.
