Whatever your description of good health is – the following tips can help you feel better.
Eat
Everybody loves eating! But do you know that eating 4-6 small meals a day can enhance your metabolism and maintain your body’s needed energy boost. Don’t stay away from having light snacks but be sure not to go on junk foods. Always pick foods that are good sources of nutrients, fiber and lean proteins.
Sleep
Have a good night sleep. Studies showed that those who slept 8 hours ninghtly are unlikely to catch colds than those who slept 7 hours or less each night. So what are you waiting for – get done with your daily activities and take a well-deserved rest.
Talk
There are times that our mind is engulf with problems that we kept only to ourselves. Kick-off that silly and annoying trait – find someone to talk to! Pouring out your emotions to a trusted friend or friends will help you rid of those negative energy out of your body. Having a positive aura is a sign of good health.
Laugh
Laughter is the best medicine – an old adage that is proven correct. Make laughter a part of your daily exercises. It is a good form of body relaxation, aids in regulating blood circulation and an endorphin-releaser.
Move
Is your work enslave you to sit on your working table all day long? Or, your just idle – sitting on your couch watching television? Ah.. Pity on you! Do you know that the human body was made to move, stretch, and engage. You don’t need to run the marathon – just take a walk, or simply stretch your arms toward the sky and you’ll see a positive health result.
Breathe
Inhale…Exhale… a simple, yet helpful way to have a healthy body. Making ten long, mindful breaths, will rid your lungs of toxic air and lets clean oxygen comes flowing in your system. This is a nice early morning exercise.
Drink
Water, that is. Since grade school, we are reminded to drink 8-12 glasses of clean water. Why? Drinking water helps your bodies functioning at its and rids the system of toxins.
Play
Playing is not only for children! Though we can’t do anymore those classic children plays – still we can innovate new ones! You can play hide-and-seek with your children or play some new tricks with your dog while taking him on a stroll. Have some fun while playing – it will makes you feel healthy and alive.
Create
Do you want to feel better? Let your creative-self be at work. Why not do some cross-stitching, make some quilts, weave scarf, or do some origami. Doing creative activities helps maintain brain alertness as well as promoting better heart health.
Sing
Sing to the top of your voice! Whether you’re a bad singer – just sing. Singing requires deep breathing, and deep breathing lets fresh oxygen enters your lungs, and oxygenates your blood. So, set the Karaoke running, get hold of a mike, and sing your heart out.
Dance
Don‘t let your spirit and the hips rust – do some dancing today! It is a nice form of exercise — all one has to do is listen to your favorite ballroom or disco tunes – dance and feel your body open up.
Cry
Brave men do cry – so “Let it out,”. Shedding some tears is beneficial to our health because tears have antibacterial properties and lubricating effect that is helpful to our eyes.
Wow, amazing, I never thought that crying has some health benefits. Thanks for the information by the day :)
ReplyDeleteWith the sleeping, I can't anymore sleep in 8 hours, sigh have so many things to do before going to sleep. But I am okay already if I can sleep 7 hours I know it is not enough.
ReplyDeleteGreat list, I have a similar post to this one. Eating, breathing, talking, etc, it really helps to have a good life!
ReplyDeleteAnd that's how we suppose to live life!
ReplyDeleteGreat list! I do most of them except "Moving." Haha. I move around the house to do the housework but I am so lazy walking to the jeepney stop after work. Too lazy and too sleepy to walk. The solution... "Pssst! TAXI!" :)
ReplyDeleteI have these habits, but unfortunately, I abuse sleeping and moving! I sleep late and I move not too often. Haayy! Would love to change that though!
ReplyDeleteDoes singing in church counts? I find it odd singing alone here at home kasi hahaha. I do everything regularly except dancing ( I have two left feet). I'm sure my daily workout suffice :-)
ReplyDeleteYour post reminds me how I need more hours of sleep. I've been sleeping so little since my son's classes have started last June, and yes, I need more laughter in my life, too, to keep me sane. Nice post, Papaleng!
ReplyDeleteThanks for this one! Even though I know some of this but it works! But I'm guilty of sleeping late. Damn..
ReplyDeleteThanks for the reminder po, Papaleng! I have been a slave at work lately and my health suffered. Now I make sure I do things at my own pace and not push myself to its limits.
ReplyDeleteI do go for a walk at lunchbreaks but I need to do some more. Malamig na kasi kaya tinatamad ng maglakad. LOL!
Salamat naman sa dalaw mo don sa blog ko. Mwah!
Emotions when use in a correct way, it's beautiful. Your points are very awesome for us to feel life that we're alive an kicking.
ReplyDeleteThese are all true!! I am into eating these days because I really lost my appetite these past few weeks :(
ReplyDeleteThese healthy habits definitely are easy to do. Everyone seriously has to practice these points because it isn't hard to do at all, and they don't realize that by doing these healthy habits, we actually help ourselves out more than we can imagine! :D
ReplyDeleteNice Papaleng. There are times na pag wala akong nakakausap maghapon, nadedepress ako. hahaha. Etong mahirap pag sole proprietorship ka eh. Solo ka lage :( hahaha. naglabas ng sama ng loob?
ReplyDeleteWe can be healthy by our daily routine and adding more motions, right food and rest.
ReplyDeleteGreat tips on having balance in your life and some we often forget and disregard as unimportant. If I'm honest to myself there are stuff here I rarely do. For example, I would love to have 8 hours of sleep at night!
ReplyDeleteso far what i need to improve here is sleep, eat and drink. this list really helps a lot.
ReplyDeleteTruelalo. I need to focus on the CREATE part. Hopefully to inspire and help people.
