Have you been feeling dull and tired regularly? Do you wish
that you were more active and lively person? If your answer is yes, then you
need make some lifestyle changes and take good care of your body.
There are many ways in which you can do this. It all starts from the
little stuff!
Maintaining good oral hygiene and teeth cleaning, to
major changes like altering your diet and eating healthy. However, you
should not stop here. There are many more ways that you can get in shape both
physically and mentally.
1.
Meditate at least twice a day:
There are many people who meditate at least twice a day and
have seen remarkable changes in their energy levels. Yoga, Pilates, Pi-Yo
take your pick! There are many classes right here in the Merrillville
area, where you can learn meditation techniques and other breathing exercises
that leave you exhilarated after you complete them.
2.Drink lots of water:
Did you know that the human body is made up 70% water?
Water is required for the body to naturally remove all harmful
toxins. Excel Dental Studio recommends replacing sugar-based drinks with
good ol’ H20!
3. Sleep properly:
If you are an adult then the minimum amount of sleep
required is 6-8 hours per day. While we treat our bodies as a machine, by
the end of the day, you are sure to feel the tiredness from the day. The
body and organs need to recoup after a long day’s work. So avoid losing sleep
by staying up late on weekdays or partying till late night! We’ll give you a
pass on the Saturday night though!
4. Have your meals on time:
When you are running late for work, it is very tempting to
skip breakfast. However, this meal is the most essential one as it helps you
feel energetic throughout the day, your body needs nourishment. So eat your
meals on time in sufficient quantities and avoid skipping any. Try not to
eat 2 hours before sleeping and have your heavier meals earlier on.
5. Eat Fresh Fruits and Veggies:
Fruits and vegetables are loaded with essential vitamin and
nutrients. They are also a healthier food option for those people looking to
boost their energy levels and lose some extra weight. It is a known fact that
fresh fruit juices are much better than sipping readymade juice from juice
boxes. Say NO to boxed food!!!! Enjoy the bounty of fresh veggies and fruits
in the fresh food section, throw on the Food Network and get creative with your
meals!
6.Cut down on the fried stuff:
We all enjoy the occasional burger and fries meal and other
takeout food. However, consuming these kinds of junk foods on a daily basis
increases the bad cholesterol levels in your body. So limit your junk food
consumption to just once or twice a month and switch to more organic foods or
other healthy food items.
7. Exercise:
Make some time in your busy schedule for your own personal
workout session. The best time of the day for a workout is in the morning, but
if your work begins early, then you can move it to evening time as well. Start
by at least taking walks in the park to about 30 minutes, or and as you build
up your energy levels, include some light strength training. Make sure you
check with your doctor if you require special approval for anything.
8. Limit your consumption of alcohol &
cigarettes:
They say “Everything in Moderation”. In this case its
100% true. Avoid the use of nicotine and nicotine like substances and
enjoy alcohol in moderation. If you have recently made changes in this aspect
of your lifestyle, visit Excel Dental Studio and let’s discuss options for
