Exercise daily
Exercising regularly improves lean muscles, eyesight, bone density, normalize blood pressure, and lowers cholesterol. To live a healthy and long life, you must exercise at least thrice a week, if not regularly. Even with a busy schedule, I manage to go for a run for 10 minutes. Exercise includes all physical activity, be it taking your dog to the part or spinning a hula hoop.
Doing aerobic exercise, that is cardio is great for your physical as well as mental health. It is effective in reducing tummy fat and other fat that builds up around your heart. A major improvement in your metabolism will most definitely improve your overall health.
Consider taking supplements and vitamin tablets
Whole foods have all the nutrients you need for a healthy body. But many people like me have allergies to whole foods such as nuts. Therefore, many people struggle to meet their daily nutritional needs.
In such a case, supplements are a convenient package to overcome the nutrient deficiency. Two of the most preferred supplements are fish oil and soluble fiber. While soluble fiber supplements help you to stay full throughout the day, fish oil supplements are great to consume omega-3.
These supplements lower your blood pressure, blood cholesterol, and chronic inflammation. Moreover, it prevents the risk of heart diseases and promotes good mental health.
Get a good night’s sleep
Unnatural sleeping patterns make you unhealthy and lazy. Whenever I have trouble at night, I try relaxation techniques such as yoga and meditation. If that does not work, I indulge myself in a small bedtime snack to shift the mind and body to sleep. Chamomile tea, lemongrass tea, cherries, oatmeal, and whole-grain cereal with milk are some of the foods that I consume before going to bed.
If you can’t sleep because of stress, try to get them out of your head. I usually write them down in my diary. Moreover, I turn all the lights off and put my phone away as they are major distractions for me.
Add fruits to your morning oats bowl
Consuming fruits is a great way to keep fit and healthy throughout your life. They are loaded with minerals, vitamins, nutrients, and water- all essential for optimal physical health. There is plenty of fiber in fruits. Therefore, fruits in your morning oats bowl to keep you full and energized throughout the day.
Fruits contain polyphenol, a compound that works as an antioxidant to help your body fight inflammation, type-2 diabetes, heart disease, and early death. However, fruits can be high in sugar. So, never forget to take them in proper portions.
