Tips For a Healthy Life
As good as modern medical technology is, it can never save you from the problems caused by an unhealthy lifestyle. Instead of getting a current medical fix for every situation, it is far better to live in such a way that you will hardly ever fall ill.
An ounce of prevention is certainly better than a pound of cure. Here are seven tips on how to live a long and healthy life. In addition, the same lifestyle that helps you to avoid illness also allows you to lose weight.
1. Get Enough Exercise
In the past, people had to use their physical bodies during their everyday work. But today, someone may get up, go to work in a car, then sit down, get up to go home in the car and when arriving home, sit down again for the rest of the day. In such a life, there is no physical labor. This physical inactivity is one of the main reasons for various diseases. Sport, running. Walking and other things must be added to our life if our everyday work does not require us to exert ourselves physically.
2. Go to sleep when you feel sleepy
This may sound simple, but many stay up late even when their body tells them it is time to sleep. Yoga and Ayurvedic doctors also say it is better to sleep at night and be active during the day. However, people such as students will take coffee and stimulants to study late into the night. Others develop the habit of remaining active at night and sleeping during the day. While we can do this, it eventually takes a toll on health. Alternative health doctors say that this kind of unnatural living contributes to the causation of cancer and other diseases.
3. Eat when you feel hungry
This idea is simple, but we often go against the body's messages. For example, if you eat out of habit or due to social pressure at a particular time, you will not digest your food correctly even when you have no natural appetite. As a result, acidity and indigestion begin, contributing to the likelihood of other more complex diseases taking root. Having a wish is a sign of good health, but if you have no need, you should wait a bit and then eat. (If you have no appetite even after waiting a reasonable amount of time, you should consult a doctor because something is wrong.)
4. Fast on a Regular, Systematic Basis
If you asked any person to work 365 days per year without rest, they would complain and say they must have some rest or else they will break down. But we have never bothered to ask or to think about our digestive organs, which we compel to work day after day without a rest. They cannot protest the way a person would to his boss, but they give us signals that they cannot work non-stop. Those organs break down when we ignore those signals and compel them to work. That is why periodic fasting is necessary. Refrain from eating for one whole day. This gives rest to your digestive organs and also helps in the elimination of wastes from your body. In addition, regular fasting allows a person to gain extra time for intellectual or spiritual pursuits. Fasting is not for hermits in a cave but is a sensible practice that anyone can practice.
5. Wash with cool water before going to bed
As mentioned above, proper sleep is essential for the maintenance of health. Washing your vital motor and sensory organs (hands, arms, eyes, legs, mouth, genitals) before sleep using cool water will relax you and prepare you for deep sleep.
6. Perform meditation regularly
Your body is linked to your mind. Many of the diseases of this era are psychosomatic. Stress and anxiety take their toll on our physical health. Meditation is a mental exercise that, among other things, allows you to detach yourself from the worries of life. Learn a simple technique and do it regularly.
7. Get up early every day
Once again, the old proverb, "Early to bed, early to rise makes a person healthy, wealthy, and wise." I don't know if it will make you wealthy, but it will certainly make you healthy. Your body needs just enough sleep, not too much and not too little
