From time immemorial, efforts to
improve health, physical and mental well-being has been at the forefront of all
human endeavours and this is for no other reason than the fact that man can
only perform maximally only when he is sound both physically and mentally.
However, the explosion of the world
population as well as the advancement in science and technology has contributed
in no small way to a considerable improvement in the living conditions of people
across the world. Now people health conditions have been improved far more than
what has been experienced in the times past. As much as we have technology
around us so much is the introduction of series of diseases and ailments into
the society and this has equally contributed in many people looking for the
best possible health situation for themselves and their families. This has equally
resulted in raking in of billions of dollars in profit every year by all the
health and fitness industries especially by those producing herbal supplements,
vitamins, fitness equipment, diets, etc.
Making a commitment to take care of
your body, both internal and external, is probably one of the most important action
you have to undertake, if you ever want to get it right. This is highly critical
if you want to have total control of your overall health situation.
In order to ensure that you have an
improved health care at your disposal, I would like to suggest some basic tips
you have to follow which will help you discover ways to maintain a healthier
lifestyle, and enjoy the best of health without spending a fortune.
1. You have to eat a well-balanced diet: We all
know the importance of eating a well-balanced diet as our physical and mental
well-being is highly dependent on the type of food we eat at any particular
point in time. We should try as much as possible to eat well because this will
help us to reduce fat, excess salt or sugar in our body. Eating well also means
eating the right proportion of food, at the right times and at the appropriate
time as well. Remember, breakfast should never be missed! Later meals should be
lighter and healthy, and you should desist from eating just before you go to bed.
If you eat later into the night the food might not the opportunity to digest appropriately
before you sleep and this may introduce some impurities into your body system because
the food doesn’t have enough time to digest. You should also know that the
basic lessons we learnt as children about the four major food groups also apply
to us as adults.
2. Try To Sleep For At Least 8 Hours A Day: Every one
of us should ensure we sleep for at least 8 hours per day. This will make you
refresh when you sleep because it’s a must for you to do not because you feel
sleepy. If you aren't sleeping well, then you aren't healthy and should
therefore consult your doctor as soon as possible before it turns to affect you
more than necessary. If you deprive yourself of sleeping it may lead to stress
and your performance will be greatly affected. This can equally cause accident
for you whether you’re at home, at work and on the road.
3. Try As Much As possible To Laugh: As clearly
stated in the first article, laughter can make you more refreshed far more than
what you can imagined. Reports have shown that you make use of more energy when
you frown than when you laugh. Laughter benefits you in no small way by making
your heart becoming stronger, your muscle will also feel relaxed, your blood
pressure will equally reduce thereby making sure you are not under any pressure
to perform. Stress will also be reduced in your body as you laugh, while all
your pains will be forgotten. And on top of all this you feel better in
general. Enough said!
4. Ensure You Perform Acupuncture To Release Unnecessary Stress
From Your Body System: One great favour you can do to yourself to maintain
your health is that acupuncture is carried out on you for at least once in a
year. Acupuncture has been known to be practiced for about 2,000 years. This traditional
form of treatment is practiced in many eastern countries of the world. Acupuncture
has been confirmed to be of great benefits by stimulating zones of the body,
known as "Meridians" that have a direct relationship to internal
organs, and the spirit. The Practitioners insert fine needles into the Meridians
to promote natural healing and this aids to improve bodily functions and give
your immune system a boost.
5. Try To Visit Therapeutic Massage Centre For A treat: The process
of massaging your body once in a while is highly beneficial to your physical
and mental well-being and can give a boost to your health. Therapeutic massage
such as Aromatherapy aren't there just to make you feel good but can as well
assist you to reduce or eliminate pain and stress, improve mechanical functions
of your body and circulation of blood. These and other more are what you stand
to gain as you engage in this practice once in a while.
6. Do Away
With Stress: Stress is unfortunate incidence that we can’t separate ourselves
from, however if well managed can benefit us immensely. Stress is not just a key contributor to poor health,
it can also prove to be fatal. Reports have shown that stress can be linked to
heart attacks, high blood pressure, certain cancers, physical and mental
breakdown, as well as strokes, mood swings, depression, and broken
relationships.
7. Learn To
Stop Smoking: This is exclusively for those who engage in the act of smoking.
Smoking has always been confirmed to be the primary secondary causes of some
diseases such as lung cancer as well as other forms of illness. Hence, the
reason to ensure that you quit smoking for your own good.
