We'd like
to suggest these 10 essential health tips to help promote your health
and wellness. These steps are easy to incorporate into your daily
life. |
1. Eat Healthy
Eat whole grain breads, whole wheat pasta, beans,
fresh fruits and vegetables. Decrease salt, meat and fat. Drink water!
2. Breathe Deeply
Aerobic exercise (swimming, biking, walking,
running) is the best way to get oxygen and will help you look younger.
3. Practice a Positive Mental Attitude
Look for good things in life. Much of our
overall health comes from our mind, so it's important to keep an upbeat
attitude.
4. Keep Your Nervous System
Functioning Properly
The nervous system (the brain, spinal cord,
nerves), controls and coordinates bodily functions. Keep it functioning
properly. Chiropractic care can help.
5. Avoid Excessive Drinking
Studies show a glass of wine or a drink a
day can help protect against heart disease; however, more may be problematic.
6. Decrease Caffeinated Products
Drink less coffee and tea or drink decaffeinated.
Eat less chocolate. Find natural healthy ways to get stimulation such
as exercise, yoga, and participating in activities you enjoy.
7. Quit Smoking
Cigarettes will decrease the quality and length
of your life.
8. Exercise
at least 15 minutes three times per week.
Climb stairs. Walk the dog. Mow the lawn. Join a health club or follow
home exercise videos.
9. Reduce Stress and Relax
for at least five to ten minutes per day (
i.e. practice yoga, meditate, get a massage, read, take a warm bath,
go to a park).
10. Decrease Pollution Around You
Drink filtered water, breathe filtered air,
surround yourself with plants. Eat organic vegetables and fruits. Avoid
smoky rooms.
