Let's face it: many of us are not too healthy. we often take an "all or nothing" approach to health. If we can't exercise every day, follow a healthy diet, or manage our stress levels, then we give up and do nothing. However, looking after our health doesn't have to take a lot of time and effort. It just takes a little thought. Follow these simple ideas and rethink your way to better health!
First, get moving. How much are you exercising these days? Not a lot? Research shows not exercising is really bad for your health. If you can't afford to go to the gym, go running. Skip the elevator and take the atairs; don't take the bus or train all the way - walk. Or, try exercising
While you watch TV.
Second, don't forget to take a break from work sometimes. Our bodies can't go, go, go all day! We need to take regular breaks. If work is stressing you out, take a few deep breaths in between takes. Try a relaxation technique, like meditation, or take a relaxing ten-minute walk. Next, be sure to make good food choices. When you get stressed, do you reach for a cookie? Don't snack on junk food. plan ahead and keep healthy snacks like fruit or nuts nearby. When you go shopping, bug only healthy foods for your next meal. If you have to order fast food,choose something light,go easy on the dressings,and add a healthy side dish like a salad or fruit. Finally, remember to sleep well. Don't fall asleep with the TV on. When you go to bed, make sure your room is quiet, cool and dark. Research shows it's the best way to get a good night's sleep. With simple changes like these, you can rethink your way to great health,one choice at a time. It's up to you!
