10 Easy Ways to Be Healthier
It is never too late to start a healthy lifestyle. Why not do it today? Especially since what we are proposing will not require practically any effort from you. In the following text, we will list 10 very easy steps to be healthier.
1. Drink lukewarm water in the morning
In the morning, on an empty stomach, drink a glass of lukewarm water with a teaspoon of olive oil and a few drops of freshly squeezed lemon juice. Water is the basis of life, olive oil is a lubricant for the intestines, and lemon gives the body energy and vitamin C.
2. Eat fish several times a week
Fish in general, and marine fish in particular, have a lot of omega-3 fatty acids. These acids strengthen the heart, lower blood cholesterol levels, improve memory and prevent depression.
3. Get the TV out of the bedroom
There must be peace and quiet in the bedroom. Only in this way, in the morning you will feel full of strength. Also, do not bring a computer or laptop into the bedroom.
4. Avoid sugary drinks and meals
Excess sugar contributes to the accumulation of fat deposits, and thus body weight, increases the risk of developing diabetes and raises blood cholesterol levels. In addition, candy lovers lose their teeth faster. There is a lot of hidden sugar in biscuits, candies, ready-made juices and sweet carbonated drinks. Therefore, to be healthier, avoid this kind of food and drinks.
5. Get up from your chair every half hour
The body needs movement. A long stay in a static position causes not only fatigue, but also strong mental irritability. Get up from your chair, get active every 30 minutes, and then get back to work.
6. Measure the pressure
It is no coincidence that high blood pressure is called a “silent killer”. For many years, hypertension may be asymptomatic, but the condition of the blood vessels worsens during that time. There is also an increased risk of stroke, heart attack, kidney disease and loss of consciousness. Pressure measurement allows timely measures to be taken and the mentioned risks to be reduced.
7. Meet with a partner
In today’s world, partners often do not have enough time to communicate. The word “communication” here does not mean solving everyday domestic obligations. It means pleasant conversations, walks together, going to cultural events, etc.
8. Walk more
Walking increases the endurance of the organism, and especially the cardiovascular system. If you walk at a moderate pace, do it five times a week for 30 minutes. At a more intense load, 20 minutes is enough 3 times a week. The load level can be measured with a pedometer (step measuring device). Walking at a speed of 5 km / h is considered a medium load, strengthens muscles, heart and contributes to calorie burning. To be healthier, practice easy walking every day.
9. Think of something good every day
The anticipation of a pleasant event – a birthday or a trip – creates a good mood long before that date. If you translate this rule into everyday life, you will be in a good mood most of the time. Think of something good every day. For example, a family lunch or an interesting TV show. You need to praise yourself every day for something you have achieved, even if it is something insignificant. It improves the subjective feeling and mood.
10. Don’t be afraid of failure
Many dream of changing something in their lives (to ask for a raise, to find a life partner), but they do not take real steps in the necessary direction, fearing failure in advance. However, you have nothing to fear, because you will not be worse off. And if you are active, it can only make you feel better. By the way, unfulfilled dreams have a bad effect not only on mental, but also on physical health.
Conclusion
From the above examples, we see that the path to health is not so difficult. Follow the above tips, and you will see how much easier it will be for you to be healthier.
