Good health is a true blessing indeed. Unless a person enjoys sound health his frame of mind becomes affected and he is unable to perform even the most mundane tasks with ease. Fortunately for us, being healthy doesn’t necessarily mean expensive treatments and drugs. Here are some surprising ways you can bring your health in top shape. All you need to do is follow these tips.
1. Early to bed early to rise. Sleeping in moderation is key to good health. Your body needs a good 7-8 hours of sleep every night. Sleeping less or more than the desired amount can both be harmful.
2. The first thing you do when you wake up is probably check your mobile phone. Replace this habit with a solid stretching exercise and add years to your life. When you wake up, stretch out your arms and legs to their maximum length, then stand up and do the same. This helps improve circulation making you more active throughout the day.
3. Breakfast is called the most important meal of the day for a reason. Never skip out on it. A high protein/fiber breakfast ensures an active and healthy day ahead. Try out for yourself.
4. Spice up your diet. You may not believe us, but chillies are actually good for you. Add some to your normal diet to speed up your metabolism and more energy.
5. Replace sodas and fizzy drinks with natural fruit juices. Not only are they healthy, they have no side effects that artificial drinks are generally full of. Drink plenty of water to rehydrate.
6. Get involved in a hobby. Love playing the piano? Take it up as a hobby. People who do things they love, are usually happier, with a positive outlook on life.
7. Play a sport. Fan of basketball? A competitive one on one with friends never hurt anyone.
8. Out and about for most of the day? Don’t forget to wear sunscreen. 50% of the cancers people suffer from are related to over-exposure of the skin.
9. Surround yourself with people you love. A surefire way of de-stressing yourself is to be in the company of people you love. Talk out your worries, give advice. Nothing feels better.
10. A brisk walk in the evening is your friend. Plug in those earphones and head out for a quick walk.
