What is the most unique ways to practise healthy living?
1 -
Choosing Healthy Foods
Choose food that contain minimal amounts of
unhealthy fats. Unhealthy fats include both trans fats and saturated fats.
These fats will raise your LDL cholesterol, and elevated LDL cholesterol often
correlates with an increased risk for heart disease.
Foods that are high in trans fats include foods made with
"partially hydrogenated oils," such as shortening or margarine. Baked
goods, fried foods, frozen pizza, and other highly processed foods often
contain trans fats. Foods that are high in saturated fats include pizza,
cheese, red meat, and full-fat dairy products. Coconut oil is also high in
saturated fat, but may also increase good cholesterol, so it's okay to use in
moderation.
2 - Brush and floss daily
to keep your teeth and gums healthy and free of disease.
3 - Get a good night's rest.
Well-rested people not only cope better with stress, but may also have better control of their appetites. Research has shown that a lack of sleep can put our "hunger hormones" out of balance -- and possibly trigger overeating.
It keeps you grounded, and helps you cope with situations that would otherwise make you crazy. Read the comics, watch a sitcom, or tell jokes to bring out those happy feelings.
6 - Stand up straight.
You'll look 5 pounds lighter if you stand tall and tighten your abdominal muscles. Whenever you walk, think "tall and tight" to get the most out of the movement.
The poses help increase strength and flexibility and improve balance. These are critical areas for older folks especially, and both men and women can benefit.
8 - Exercise
The body is truly the temple of the soul, and you don’t want that temple
to fall apart! Exercise is a great way to stimulate your health and studies
have shown that physical activity helps improve longevity and overall health.
Try to exercise up to three times a week. The American Heart Association
advises for 150 minutes of exercise each week or an hour at least three times a
week. Pick a convenient time schedule out time. You could exercise for 30
minutes the morning to get energized for your day.
Remember to keep your workouts fun. You should enjoy your workout and
not feel like it’s a chore. Some fun physical activities include:
Dancing
Yoga
Aerobics
Running
Hiking
9- Include fruits and vegetables in your diet
Adding fruits and vegetables is a perfect foundation for starting a
healthy routine. Vegetables, like leafy greens, and fruits contain plentiful
amounts of nutrients such as vitamins and antioxidants that help boost your
immune system and fight off disease causing toxins. Antioxidants help fight eye
disease, promote healthy skin, and overall health. The World Health Organization
recommends eating fruits and veggies as a regular part of your diet so you’ll
have a better chance of fighting some cancers, diseases, and heart disease.
Make sure to eat five to nine servings of varied veggie and fruits per day.
10 - Drink water
You can save money and improve your health by drinking water throughout
the day. The natural liquid offers the benefits of hydration, nourishment, and
improved well-being. Water can cleanse toxins from the body, improve brain
function, energize muscles, control weight gain, and balance body temperature
and fluids. It’s recommended to drink about 8 glasses, or 64 ounces, of water
per day.
