Want to loose weight, sleep better and boost
your immune system?
1 Have a lie down
Back pain can be avoided and the damage repaired with one easy exercise,
which is lie down on the floor with your knees bent, hip width apart, feet
on the floor. Do this daily for about five to fifteen minutes to release
and lengthen your spine.
2 Note your nibbles
Crash diets don't work for long enough; instead maintain a food dairy to
note your daily eating habits. With this you'll be conscious of what you
eat, and make healthier choices.
3 10 deep breaths
Our breath power our lymphatic system, which removes waste from cells. By
taking 10 deep breaths, three times a day, you'll clear more toxins and
boost your thinking power by getting 20% more oxygen to your brain.
4 Put your fork down
Put your fork down between every mouthful of food, it makes you chew your
food properly, preventing digestive problems, and also prevents you from
over- eating.
5 Make a list
The most effective stress buster is to make a list. Your short term memory
can only remember, on an average, seven things. So when you overload it ,
your stress level escalate. Making a list clears out all the stress from
your brain you feel tension free. This saves you from headaches,
depression and high blood pressure.
6 Massage your feet
Poor circulation could be robbing you of much needed sleep. Your
temperature needs to drop slightly before you fall asleep, so your body
dispels heat via your face, hands and feet. But many women have poor
circulation, which constricts the blood vessels in their hands and feet
and prevents them from dispelling heat. A hot bath before sleeping or a
hand and foot massage will increase your circulation.
7 An organic apple a day
If you buy one organic item a day, make it an apple. Research found that
pesticide residues in 71% of apples- the highest in fruits and vegetables.
8 Change your tea bag
When it comes to tea white is the new green. White tea comes from the same
plant as green and black but is harvested earlier and undergoes less
processing, which means it contains more cancer fighting anti- oxidants.
9 Eat dried apricots
The most common nutritional deficiency is iron. Tiredness, irritability
and lack of concentration. Prevent it by having two helpings of lean red
meat a week, or three dried apricots a day.
10 Stop skipping meals
Eating three meals a day is very important for a healthy body. It's the
simplest way to balance blood sugar levels, which will keep your mood,
energy and concentration balanced and strengthen your stress tolerance.
11 Keep it crunchy
Include some raw vegetables in every meal. Many of the vitamins and
minerals are in vegetables are lost through cooking, so raw food is as
good as it gets.
12 Focus on your feeling
Take two minutes to boost your resolve to do walk, jog or aerobics class.
The instant gratification of that exercise high is far more motivating
than the promise of thinner thighs two months down the line.
