Healthy living tips

Increase Walking:

Rather than driving or using the bus, consider walking more. Additionally, when faced with a flight of steps, go up the stairs rather than reaching for the lift call button.

Standing on one leg may seem a little odd, but it works your abdomen and core muscles.

After eating:

Try to get up and move about, or at the very least, stroll about. This is particularly crucial after lunch, when you could feel drowsy and want to take a nap, which is not ideal if you have a meeting with the boss shortly.

Participate during suppertime by establishing a rule in the home that prohibits phone usage at the table. Rather, you need to communicate with one another. It's a difficult one, but try it.

Go to bed:

Make sleep a top priority. It's essential to get seven hours of sleep every night in order to support excellent health. A few hours before bed, have a soothing cup of herbal tea, make sure the bedroom is dark, and switch off all electronic gadgets one hour beforehand. Another way to help you get calm is to read a book in bed before you turn in.

Be grateful:

Research on the mind-body link and the beneficial effects of positivity on the immune system is still in its early stages. Start valuing everything around you, including nature, your family, and your house.

Fasting:

Try going without food one or two times a week. There are other methods to go about it, but these are two: Limit your eating hours and give yourself 12 to 14 hours in between meals. It's not that difficult to do, as that includes your sleeping hours. As an alternative, limit your daily caloric intake to no more than 700 calories.

Water intake:

Ensure that you get adequate drinks each day. The ideal range is 2 to 4 L (some research even suggests 6 L), but since that encompasses all liquids, including those from fruits and vegetables, you'll be shocked at how much you're actually ingesting.

Supplements:

Your body need some essential nutrients, such as zinc. Of course, you need others, but they are necessary to keep your health. 

Eat the "power veg" on a daily basis, such as broccoli, Brussels sprouts and mushrooms. Adding lemon to beverages increases the amount of vitamin C they contain.

Berries are a great way to start the day. Include strawberries and blackberries in your breakfast. They enhance mental performance, which is important to consider as we age.

Green tea:

Try to have four or five cups each day. Its abundance of anti-inflammatory and polyphenolic substances supports the health of your immune system.

Consider your stomach:

You must provide it with the correct foods since everything begins there. Add miso soup, kefir, and fermented veggies like sauerkraut and kimchi to your everyday diet.

Inhale:

It may seem apparent, but healthy breathing is crucial for both the body and the mind. Make time each day to practise deep breathing for brief periods of time. This involves taking deep breaths and holding them in your lungs for a little period of time.
