5 Tips For A Healthier Life

5 easy Tips For A Healthier Life

The Importance Of A Healthy Life

Growing up my father always told me stories about my grandmother who had passed. He told me how special, wise and educated she was. His favorite saying was a quote by her stating how you have absolutely nothing if you don’t have your health. That always stuck with me and maybe made even paranoid to the fact that I watched what I ate from too early an age and exercised non stop. Of course we all know that statement about health, it’s true. All the money and love in the world don’t mean a thing if your health is deteriorating. So what to do. How do you maintain or improve your health? The following are the most practical steps to improving your health:

1. Get Fit

Forget about losing weight and getting “into shape”. What you should be most concerned about is your fitness level. Exercise is not only there to make you look good. It is also there to make you feel good. How? When you exercise certain things happen in your body:

The best way to fit in exercise if you feel you have no time during the day is by setting your alarm to wake you up one hour earlier. Otherwise exercise can be done after work – I personally find this hard as I’m exhausted after a day of work so I keep it to the mornings. Weekends also give you ample time to fit in a 45 minute to 1 hour workout.

2.Take Health Supplements

According to a survey 71% of Americans take dietary supplements. Besides the obvious multivitamins, specific supplements such as Omega-3, fiber, turmeric, green coffee and other weight management supplements, supplements containing ginkgo biloba and B vitamins all fall into the list of what is popular today. Specialty supplements also rein high on the list of what consumers buy. If you are interested in specialty supplements such as supplements for jet lag, hair growth, insomnia and much more, read this Research Verified review. Research Verified have a range of some of the best scientifically-backed specialty products on the market today. Supplements only enhance your life. Personally, I don’t let a day slip by without taking my Omega-3 and Vitamin B complex supplements.

3. Change Eating Habits

Diets don’t work. In fact 95% of diets fail people. Everybody’s body is different and everybody’s nutritional needs are different. You cannot just adopt another way of eating, call it your own and expect to lose weight. You’ll end up craving food the whole day, will feel light headed around afternoon and by the time night time comes in, will end up raiding the fridge for as many carbohydrates and sugar infused things as possible.

The key to a healthy weight is to slowly change your eating habits over time. For instance, if you love dessert after dinner every night, change your every night chocolate indulgence to sweet dried fruits like dates and keep chocolates for the weekend. If you drink three cappuccinos a day with full cream milk and froth change to one cup a day with fat free milk and limited sugar. Add salad to lunches to fill you up and give your body the nutrition it needs and deserves. Soups at dinner will fill you up as well.

Slowly, but surely the weight will come off. The problem is when you diet with the aim of losing something like 10 pounds in one week. That only happens with extreme juice detoxing with excess exercise and even then you won’t lose as much as 10 pounds in 7 days. A slow change in eating habits over time will do you the world of good and your weight will slowly shed off and this way it will be harder to put on weight again so fast.

4. Meditate

Vishen Lakhiani, creator and founder of Mindvalley, the biggest online Meditation platform in the world today, believes deeply in meditation. He created the ‘6 Phase Meditation’ which is a daily affirmation for creating abundance in every aspect of your life. This special meditation prepares you for your day ahead with good intentions. Meditation relaxes you and gets you more in tune with yourself. It helps you to be more productive during the day, trust your gut and follow your intuition. It will lead to a healthier mind and therefore, a healthier life.

5. Breathe In Fresh Air

Breathing in fresh air is very important. According to research, spending time in fresh air, surrounded by nature increases your energy. Fresh air is also good for digestion, improves blood pressure and heart rate, makes you happier, strengthens your immune system, cleans your lungs and sharpens your mind. I say that those are more than enough reasons to take a walk in the park as often as possible!

Life is beautiful and there is even more beauty in it when you feel healthy and can appreciate each day. Learn to live healthy; get fit, take health supplements, change your eating habits, meditate and breathe in fresh air and there is no limit to how extraordinarily more productive and happy your life will be!
