Healthy living is something most of seek. Many of us already exercise and try to eat right, and that is a great start to healthier living. Here are two great tips that will take you to a new level of healthy.
#1 Take Your Vitamins
Every day you should take a multivitamin and mineral supplement. Eating health is essential but we don’t always get everything we need from our foods, and so taking a daily multivitamin makes sense. Research has shown that when you use good quality nutritional supplements it can help you in achieving optimal health.
A recent study by Wyeth Consumer Health found that older adults taking a daily multivitamin was an inexpensive but powerful way to stay healthy. The group also studied the how taking a multivitamins affected five diseases: diabetes, coronary artery disease, prostate cancer, osteoporosis, and colorectal cancer.
The researchers estimated that giving a daily multivitamin to the elderly potentially save in health care cost of approximately $1.6 billion in a five year period, as well as avoidable hospitalization for heart attacks of approximately $2.4 billion.
#2 Take the Time to Connect With Others
We are social beings by our very nature. We create families, nurture our young, and identify ourselves with social groups we are part of. Connection with others and forming important bonds of communication, spiritual health, intimacy, and emotional well being are as important as eating a healthy diet, when it comes to nourishing our bodies.
The world we live in connects us in so many different ways at a technical level. However, the closeness we find with people in our day-to-day lives is actually diminishing. Many spend their days surrounded by people but little communication occurs, and there are many feel isolated.
Physical touch is very important, and you cannot get that from your cyber friends. Studies dating back to the 1930s showed infants who are touched grow faster than those who just left lying in the cribs. Being touched affects our brains and our nervous system.
That’s just two great tips that many people are not aware of that can a major role in improving your life and longevity. When it comes to your health, always think outside the box. While nutrition and exercise are two very important components to healthier living, there are many other things that can ensure you remain healthy now and for years to come.
Psychologist makes a number of recommendations for healthy living that work for everyone. The fast paces lives we all lead these days, in combination with being overwhelmed with technology has cause a lot of health problems for a lot of people – disconnect, sleeplessness, and stress. Here are five great tips for healthy living.
1. Deep breathing – Most of us breathe from our chest rather than deep in the diaphragm. Diaphragmatic breathing involves breathing deep from our bellies in a slow, paced manner. It is one of the best stress management tools you have. If you are not sure how to carry out deep breathing and you have a smartphone you can find apps to help you.
2. Be present in the moment – Forget about the fight you had with your friend, you growing to do list, or the insults hurled on Facebook. Be mindful of the present moment. To help you focus on the moment list five things you see, feel, hear or smell. This can help you stay in the moment.
3. Share hugs – Give a hug and get a hug. According to recent research we need at least four hugs a day. Hugging makes us live longer . As humans we need touch – it calms us, and brings down our reactive arousal system that can be activated when we are stressed or feel threatened. The good news is our hugs do not have to be from humans. The hugs we get from our dogs or cats count too.
4. Take care of your physical needs – You need 30 minutes a day of exercise, or 10,000 steps a day is what you need to keep your body in a healthy state. You can break you’re the time into shorter periods if you like, which can make it easier to sneak your 30 minutes in.
5. Stop being mean to yourself – We are our worst critics, attacking ourselves – about the money we make, the clothes we wear, our weight, our shyness, etc. In fact it is at epidemic levels. What you say and believe about yourself becomes your reality. If you call yourself stupid and give yourself that label, you find yourself feeling stupid. As of today, you no longer say negative things about yourself. Instead empower yourself with positive thoughts.
These five psychologist recommendations will play an important role in keeping you happy and healthy.
