Home Made Health

Healthy body is important for every individual. What does it mean that much property when our bodies are not healthy because we can feel and enjoy what we have. Therefore let us keep our health that has been given by God. From here, we provide a way to obtain the actual health. As for ways to maintain health are as follows

1)      Eat smarter – avoid eating after 9pm or within 2-3 hrs of bed time. Keep a food diary. This can help you identify an item or serving size that is more than you need. There are many internet based food diaries which can provide easy personal tracking of your food and daily activities with excellent educational and community features.  Start with just keeping track of your food intake for 3 days.
2) Walk more -exercise helps you feel great, improve your digestion, increase your metabolism and can be a great way to connect with your family or spend time with your dog. Take the stairs instead of the elevator. Park further away and walk to the next store in the shopping center.
3)      Listen to your body- when it aches, take care of it, take a bath with Epsom salt, rest and rejuvenate, when it hurts see a massage or physical therapist. Try putting a tennis ball in a tube sock, sling it over your shoulder and lean back against a wall. Find those nice and tight spots in you back. Most people have these between their shoulder blade and their spine. Lean in gently and hold each spot until you feel the muscles let go and release.
4)      Drink 8 glasses of water a day. Drinking water restores balance to your body’s tissues; it keeps us hydrated as well as our bodies working at the optimal level. Soft drinks and juice contain ingredients such as sugars, sweeteners, and caffeine that disrupt the fluid balance in our tissues and can actually create a dehydrated state. It is a myth that the more one drinks the more you will use the bathroom. A concentrated amount of urine in your bladder from not drinking enough water, or the presence of caffeine and sweeteners may irritate your bladder and lead to more trips to the bathroom. A good way to know if you are well hydrated is if your urine is clear and odorless.

5)      Make a commitment with yourself to make just one lifestyle change in the next month. Weather this change is in your diet, physical activity, or a personal goal; write this down and put in on your refrigerator
