ith busy schedules and life-
styles, keeping your mind, body
and soul healthy can be a major
challenge. However, don't let the hectic
pace of life keep you from living yours to
the fullest. There are simple steps you can
take that will leave you feeling energetic
and upbeat.
Consider these 10 tips to help you live a
happy, healthy, safe and balanced life.

Exercise not only helps you build muscle
and lose weight, giving you more self-con-

cardio workouts, to walking the dog or
taking the stairs -- anything that gets your
heart pumping will benefit your health.
Stress is a Mess
Over time, stress can lead to serious health
issues such as obesity, depression and even
death. When you start seeing red, instead

wet, hard surfaces, the bathroom is your
home's biggest danger zone. So, get a grip
on safety by adding a few stylish and safe
products to your ensemble, such as grab
bars, tub grips, bathtub tread strips, show-

such as endorphins, are released through
your body when you laugh. Additionally,

and boosts your state of mind.
