Sometimes it seems that eating a healthy diet(饮食), getting enough exercise or finding the time to enjoy yourself is impossible. But learning to live a healthier lifestyle is easy when you change one small thing at a time. Follow Rosalind Ryan’s advice and you'll soon be full of ideas.

·Eat beet(甜菜) more

It sounds strange, but doctors say drinking 500ml of beetroot juice could lower blood pressure(血压) after just one hour. So drink up the pink juice.

·Think outside the box

In our life we probably spend 17 years on the sofa, and 7 years on watching TV. Next time you hear yourself say, “I haven’t got time to go to the gym”, don’t find this excuse but do something healthy instead.

·Hug your friend

Giving your friend a hug doesn’t just warm the heart; it can protect it too. A study found that hugging your friend for 20 seconds could let the blood pressure down and make you happy.

·Eat less salt

We eat around 9.5g of salt a day; but the government wants us to cut this to no more than 6g, as high levels of salt can increase your blood pressure.
