Easy Guide to Staying Healthy
With the slow economy, everyone is trying to work harder to pay their bills.
As a result, stress levels often skyrocket and healthy cooking goes out the window-there just isn't enough time.
How Can You Keep Healthy? 1.
Diet - this is probably the most hated subject, yet the most vital.
I know it's tempting to serve TV dinners, but your family's healthy will suffer drastically.
If you have a crock pot or slow cooker, you can make soups and stews easily.
Just buy some meat, fresh or frozen veggies and add some seasonings-and no sugar! If you work long hours, it often helps to put aside one day to cook for the coming week and freeze your meals, including: homemade pizza, soups and stew, bread, spaghetti meat sauce, etc.
Try recruiting your kids to reheat the meals when they get home from school (or maybe even help with the cooking); they can do it just fine! 2.
Staying Hydrated - If you ask most people, the best way to stay hydrated and healthy is drink cool aid-WRONG! It's full of sugar, chemicals and preservatives, which are all taxing to your immune system.
The best healthy, hydrating liquid, bar none, is pure spring or well water.
Today, most people dislike water intensely, but it vital to our organs.
Each day our body needs water to wash away impurities and other attackers in our body, keep our liver clean, etc.
How much water should you drink? Take your body weight in pounds and divide by two; drink that many ounces of water.
So, if you weight 120 pounds, you would drink 60 ounces of water minimum.
3.
Supplements - Again, a touchy subject, but nonetheless important.
Everyone agrees you need a vitamin, but nobody seems to know it must be natural, NOT synthetic.
A synthetic vitamin is foreign to your body, provides no nutrition (as your body doesn't recognize fake vitamins) and is often credited as having a negative effect on your immune system.
It is also important to provide your body with phyto nutrients, those found in fresh vegetables if eaten soon after harvest.
Glyco nutrients are another important factor you will want to include in your diet.
Although not widely know, glyco nutrients provide enable your cells to communicate.
When your cells communicate, your body is able to repair and defend itself properly.
4.
Exercise - I know it hurts, there isn't enough time, your job is demanding, the kids need you...
However, you need to get a little exercise at least three times per week.
Exercise helps relieve stress, keeps your muscles strong, keeps your figure and just generally awakes your internal workings.
Exercise often revives your organs and spurs them to working better.
Who wouldn't want to look fit and slim? Exercising often helps, but you should never exercise on asphalt, concrete, bricks or stone sidewalks.
Hard surfaces such as these compact your bones and encourage muscular and bones problems, especially later in life.
Your doing more harm than good, really.
