“Here are some simple habits to implement daily to help improve your health” — Paul Ebeling
Replace processed foods with whole foods whenever possible
The consumption of refined foods like sugar, white flour, and processed fats can lead to increased risk for obesity and high blood pressure. The refining process removes many important nutrients found in whole foods, such as fiber, vitamin A, E, K, B-complex vitamins, minerals like calcium and magnesium.
Practice meditation
We live in a world with so many distractions and we spend most of the time on our devices. This means that we don’t take the time to relax and meditate. A study found that meditation can help relieve anxiety and stress. Stress is a major factor for depression and anxiety spectrum disorders, which are now at an all-time high in America.
Drink more water
It is estimated that the body needs at least 2 liters of water for basic functions such as staying healthy and maintaining a healthy weight. For this goal to be met, 1 must make sure they drink about 1/2 a liter of water every hr.
Exercise for at least 15 mins every day
Health experts recommend that 15 mins is the minimum amount of activity an individual can do to gain any health benefits. Research has revealed that 15 minutes of exercise a day can cut risk of death by 14% and boost life expectancy by 3 years. The study showed 15 mins of moderate exercise per day or 90 mins per week, can add 3 yrs to your life.
Waking up early can be a great way to start your day. It sets you up for success, physically and mentally. Research shows it is easier to be successful in the morning than the evening, so if you are not accustomed to waking up early, try to aim for at least 15 mins earlier than what you are used to waking up now. This will help give your day a head start towards success.
