Tips on Health

What if I told you that our health is the most important asset
we have. Would you believe me? Why is it today that
everybody seems to be plagued with bad health.

You can make a stand and try incorporating these health tips
into your everyday life and see if they make a difference to
your total health.

Lets have a look:

Don't Smoke - One of the main reasons why people decide
not to give up smoking, and sadly, the reason why some
people take it up is the effect smoking supposedly has on you
weigh gain or loss. It is true that smoking has been
associated with an increase in metabolism it is a drug!!

However it is a dangerous, addictive drug and surely the tiny
effect it has on your metabolism is outweighed by the huge
risk of dying from lung cancer.

Interestingly in regards to weight gain and loss, although
smoking over 25 cigarettes a day can increase your
metabolism by up to 10% overall, smokers have been found
to be fatter than non - smokers!!

Take In More Water - You can live three weeks without food,
However you can only live for three days without fluid, just
think 3 days and its all over, one could suggest that fluid is
fairly important!

Your body is anywhere between 60 and 70 percent fluid. The
fluid in your body is responsible for helping to keep every
system of your body in good working order, including all of
your metabolic processes.

De-hydrate and everything slows down. The fluid in your body
will also ensure that you can move well and be active.

If you start to dehydrate, your body's ability to do basic
activities will slow down and your ability to exercise effectively
or even enjoy exercise will be reduced. You will feel tired,
lethargic and will probably get a headache.

Eat A Variety Of Foods - For protection from the majority of
illnesses such as heart disease and cancer you need a
variety of foods that deliver that mix of nutrients and minerals.

Aim to eat different coloured fruits and vegetables. Try to eat a
different food each month. Eat an apple a day as the apple
pectin cleanses the body's digestive system by removing
toxins and therefore preventing degenerative health
problems such as cancer.

Relax For 20 Minutes a Day - Relaxing for at least 20 minutes
a day will go a long way to reduce blood pressure and your
reactions to stress. Sit or lie somewhere comfortable, Breathe
slowly in and out of the nostrils breathing deeply into your
abdomen. Say HAM as you inhale and SA as you exhale.

These suggestions are charged with positive energy and will
help you control your emotions. Try once a day for fantastic
results.

Floss Every Day - Flossing your teeth every day is the best
way to prevent gum disease and protect your heart. Gum
disease, which is left untreated, can lead to inflammatory
reactions in the body that can trigger heart disease and
stroke.

Drink More Tea - Try drinking more tea instead of coffee to
help protect your body from damaging effects of free radicals.
Tea is a rich source of antioxidants that play a big role in
protecting against some cancers and cardiovascular disease.

Get Active - Aerobic activity not only burns calories but also
increases your metabolism and can keep it elevated for
several hours after a workout. You don't need to spend hours
each day on the treadmill or bike to reap the benefits.

Exercising aerobically for as little as 20 minutes, three to five
days a week will make a big difference. Extra movement
throughout the day is also essential, take the stairs instead of
the lift, lose the remote and move at every opportunity you
can.

Get More Sleep - Lack of sleep changes your hormone levels
and capacity to metabolise carbohydrates so less sleep =
slower metabolism.

Studies have revealed that deep sleep causes cell repair and
cell growth, which will speed up the metabolism and burn
calories. So aim to get at least eight hours sleep a night.

Eat More Protein And Boost Your Energy Levels - Protein
stimulates the major brain chemical dopamine which keeps
us alert, try chicken or tuna salads for lunch. Go for complex
carbohydrates rather than white flour and sugar, as they will
provide a sustained energy source as opposed to a quick hit.

Another reason to leave simple carbohydrates out of the diet
is that they have a negative effect on your skin and how it
ages. The more sugar that is in the body the more you force
a chemical reaction causing sugars to attach to proteins and
this is very detrimental to your skin.

So go ahead and introduce these tips into your everyday life, I
am sure you will reap the benefits as you go forward.
