I am always reading articles on how to improve my health
without taking medicines.
Over the years I compiled my own booklet of useful remedies—although
I should read it more often and follow my own advice.
Here are some specifics guaranteed to help:
A twenty-minute walk will help a lot of woes: unwind a tense
mind and restore your good mood, relax a tired back, give a break to sore eyes,
and battle constipation by regulating and optimizing GI function. In addition,
even a five minute walk after sitting for three hours at my computer can reduce
the risk of stroke.
A swim in the pool improves your balance. Swimmers use their
core muscles and coordinate movement of their arms and legs to stay afloat—both
of which increase balance control.
Relaxing by a crackling fire engages all the senses and
lowers the blood pressure.
Use omega-3 fatty acids to reduce craving and control
hunger.
A sip of apple cider relieves bloating by speeding stomach
emptying.
Use vitamin D to strengthen your bones and ease knee pain.
Snacking on walnuts which are rich in antioxidants protects
brain cells from oxidative damage and slashes risk of Alzheimer’s disease.
Watermelon helps reduce cholesterol.
Avoid loneliness, surround yourself with friends, and
believe in yourself when starting a diet. A positive attitude helps
considerably.
Many of my readers would tell you that nothing beats a good book and a cup of herbal tea to unwind. And according to my Mom, nothing could restore a woman's good mood
like shopping for a new outfit or a pair of shoes.
For ultimate relaxation, plan a cruise or a weekend getaway.

ReplyDeleteLots of good advice!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely new shoes. And chocolate! Okay, that might not promote health but it does reduce my stress level.
