Modern life has enough stresses impacting our health and well-being without illness or disease playing a part. There are things that we can do – with just a few changes to our lives we can be much healthier and happier, reduce some of the stress, and more effectively resist various health issues.
I’m never going to claim that any of these tips will cure any ailment, If you have an issue which concerns you then you should go see an expert. People have gotten some amazing results from changing their habits, changing diets, adding quality supplements, changing attitudes, and so on.
It doesn’t take a daily two hour workout at the gym (not that that’s a bad thing) and it doesn’t involve going 100% macrobiotic or something.
Dehydration is a subtle problem that affects many of us. The effects show up as diminished efficiency, fuzzy headedness, and other problems that can be caused by many things. You’ve ehard about drinking those 8-10 Glasses of Water a Day. This cleans out toxins and helps the body function much better. I keep a sports bottle by my desk and sip constantly. Depending on your diet you might want to add a little salt to your food to replace what’s lost by drinking that much water.
Add Movement to Your Life. Park further so you walk between the car and the stores, take steps instead of elevators, and take longer routes to your desk. Find ways to add some fun exercise to your routine. You don’t have to run a marathon. Simply add a little more walking to your routine. Increase it on a regular basis.
Think Positively. (If you need help, see our Affirmations page.) You can even get software to help you do this. Focus on where you want to be, not on whatever problem may be occuring now. For me, this is a huge stress reliever.
Take Time to Relax. Allow yourself to de-stress at least once a day. The occasional massage or spa time is a big help. Don’t have a masseuse or spa nearby? Maybe a massage chair is what you’re looking for.
A really basic health & wellness tip: Get adequate sleep (sleep until you’re done sleeping.) This may involve changing your routine, but less stress and better health may be worth it. Getting a decent mattress may help a lot. You spend around 8 hours a day on that thing, and only a couple in your car. Isn’t your bed worth a few extra dollars?
Wash your hands often. Minimally wash hands before eating and after using the restroom. Many colds and such are transmitted through contact, rather than being airborne. Regular washing can help with this. Germicidal soaps won’t help against cold or flu viruses, but might have other uses.
Eat a large variety of fresh produce, the more richly colored the better, and supplement your diet with high quality vitamins and minerals. In general fresh foods are more nutritious than packaged foods. Organic or not? Depends on the soil and methods used. Organic potentially has higher food quality. If going organic reduces stress because you know it’s better for you then it’s absolutely worth the higher price.
Believe is Something. Studies have found that people who have faith live longer. It provides direction and focus and reduces stress.
Eat vegetables every day. Vegetables provide vitamins, minerals, and fiber. Many are known to help protect against various degenerative diseases including cancer. The fresher the better. The more darkly colored then better. Yes, I know I mentioed it above. It bears repeating. This may be the single best thing you can do for yourself.
Drink water before, during and after exercise. Thirst lags behind your body’s need for water. So drink water early and often.
Laugh. Let humor enter your life. One of the easiest ways of being healthier is to find a way to relax more and have more fun.
Find a way to bring joy into your life. Treat yourself to long baths or help a neighbor. Find a way to smile and help others smile.
