There are so many things that you can do to contribute to being healthy, but there is no way you can do them all or be conscious about doing each one every day. Because of this I have created a list of the top 10 things you can do to stay healthy.
Change Your Attitude. Whenever someone is told they have a terminal illness or that they will never walk again, the worst thing they can do is to go into depression or become stressed. People that do this often die faster and allow themselves to never achieve positive results. Your mind is a powerful tool and can control every part of your body; even the healing process. Believe you can do something, and you will. Focus on the positive of life and you will reap positive results!
Monitor Your Nutrition. This is a no brainer. Our health corresponds precisely to the quality of our nutrition. This is true with all plant and animal life. Living organisms whenever /wherever found, with all their wonderful capacities and enjoyments, are merely the results of good nutrition and drainage. Pay attention to what you are putting in your mouth at all times. If you put bad in, only bad can come out of it.
Exercise. This does not have to mean going to the gym every day. Simply, fit in some kind of activity in your day for 30 minutes a day that you love doing and that keeps you moving. Don’t have 30 minutes? Use the stairs instead of the elevators, walk to places that are a short enough distance instead of driving, do floor exercises while watching the news or catching up on your favorite TV shows. Just do it and have fun!
Drink Water. Up to 70% of our bodies are made up of water. If you are not drinking water and drink sodas, juice, coffee and any other beverage all day, you are depriving your body of an essential component it needs to heal itself and stay energized and alert. Everyone needs to get at least 8 glasses a day.
Get Sunshine. Yes, you heard me. Sun is a very important factor when it comes to good health. We are meant to be outside, just make sure you stay out of the sun if possible from 10am – 2pm when the sun’s rays are most dangerous. Sunshine in small does not only provides Vitamin D, but also improves your mood naturally.
Have Tenacity. “You can give in and you can give out, But You CAN’T GIVE UP!” Do not let yourself stop whatever health program you decide to get yourself on. You must continue it in order for it to become a habit. Eventually you will not even realize what you are doing used to be hard work. It will soon come to you naturally, like brushing your teeth.
Get Fresh Air. Staying inside allows your body to be in closed quarters with all kinds of toxins such as paint, dust, allergens, cleaning chemicals, and much more. You need to get fresh air as often as possible to keep your body inhaling clean oxygen.
Relax. Healthy people indulge in a daily nap and get good rest at night. I’ve learned it’s the fastest way to feel better. Whenever I feel a little low for whatever the reason, I try to get 1/2 hour to an hour nap during the day … time permitting and then I can tackle so much more throughout the day. It also will make you more apt to want to exercise.
Temperance. (Or moderation) Too much of anything is not a good thing. Even eating spinach all day, although high in nutrients, will not give you all the nutrients you need and can give you too much of one thing to where it becomes toxic to your body. Try to always eat a variety of things and eat in small portions. It is better to eat little portions several times a day, then to eat huge portions only a few times a day.
