Whatever your definition of ‘Healthy Life Style’ may be, it’s vital that you enjoy & get meaning from the day-to-day while on your journey. This is something we all have in common, regardless of the particular path we’re on. Your daily experiences (your tasks, your schedule, the places you spend your energy & time) are what make up your life.
1. Set your alarm half an hour earlier
Waking up an extra half an hour sound like a terrible idea, but it'll give you a little extra breathing room in the morning to slow down and actually get your day started on the right foot.
2. Drink 2-3 glasses of water when you wake up
Your body's pretty dehydrated after sleeping for seven or 7 to 8 hours straight. Which is why drinking a couple of glasses right when you wake up is a great way to get moving in the morning.
3. Exercise before breakfast
If you're looking to have the most impact on your workouts, then try exercising first thing in the morning. Working out in the morning when the body is still in its pre-breakfast fasting state will help you burn the most calories and fat.
4. Have a cold shower
It might sound a bit unkindness, but cold showers are actually a great way to improve your circulation and energy, and strengthen your immune system, especially in winter seasons.
5. Always keep smile
It's a free mood enhancer! Smiling has a "fake it till you make it" effect on our emotions. When you smile, the brain actually increases the levels of cortisol, adrenaline, and dopamine to your nerve centres, which produces a calming, relaxing effect.
6. Avoid soft drinks
According to Dr. Christopher Ochner, assistant professor of paediatrics and adolescent medicine at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, “If everything else in their diet is equal, a person who has a can of Coke a day adds an extra 14.5 pounds per year, just from the calories alone.” As an alternative, switch to seltzer water with lemon or lime.
7. Keep your wallet out of your back pocket
Keeping your wallet in your back pocket can potentially cause wallet sciatica or sciatic neuropathy, which can lead to pain and numbness in the lower legs and back. OW.
8. Always carry a water bottle with you
Most of us are majorly dehydrated and we don't even know it. Carrying a water bottle helps quench your thirst and helps stave off hunger. Often when you think you're hungry you're actually just thirsty. So before you grab a sandwich, try drinking a glass or two of water first.
9. Eat fruits, instead of drinking
Fruit juice tastes delicious, sure, but it's usually packed with sugars and tons of other additives, and higher in calories. If you're craving fruit, you should go straight to the source and grab a banana or apple instead.
10. Take a break while working
If you work in a job that involves spending hours in front of a screen, give your eyes and your brain at least a 15-minute break when you get home. Try something non-tech-related, like reading a book, playing a sport, or practising an instrument. Consider it a challenge! Over time, your 15 minutes might grow into 30 minutes or an hour.
11. Take the stairs
Stair climbing is a great way to get a little physical exercise in without heading to the gym. By including stairs in your daily schedule, you can lose weight, strengthen your muscles, and increase your overall health.
12. Stretch yourself on working desk
Spending all day at a desk can leave your muscles feeling atrophied and weak. Don't forget to take stretch breaks once an hour to give your muscles a chance to move around.
