FIVE WAYS YOU CAN TREAT YOUR BODY BETTER

Harbor Comprehensive Health Blog FIVE WAYS YOU CAN TREAT YOUR BODY BETTER

When it comes to your body, what do you do to keep it going? Do you have routine check-ups and take part in preventative practices that lead to better health and fewer instances of disease? Do you take time out to rest, relax, and rejuvenate on a regular basis, or do you go full throttle all the time?

Here are five ways you can treat your body better:

  1. Drink water. Water is among the healthiest beverages you can drink. It regulates the body’s temperature, helps the circulation of nutrients, improves digestion, and helps you feel full longer. When you drink lots of water, it shows. Your skin looks and feels softer, you’re less bloated, and you feel energized. Water helps with brain function and ramps up productivity. If you make it a point to drink water often, you’ll look and feel incredible.
  2. Eat more fruits and vegetables. With so many beautiful options to choose from, why wouldn’t you want to eat your weight in fruits and vegetables? Look for organically grown produce. You’ll find it at supermarkets around the country as well as farmer’s markets and produce stands. Make your meals sing by adding fruit and vegetables to your favorite dishes. Try to eat them in their natural state so that you’re able to benefit from a boost in vitamins and minerals.
  3. Exercise regularly. Make sure to get in as much exercise as you possibly can especially if you’re stuck working a desk job. Take frequent breaks to stretch and walk to different areas of the building. When you’re at home, schedule time to swim, walk, hike or bike. You can invite someone to join you and make it a fun outing that you look forward to each week.
  4. Find healthy stress-relievers. You need to find whatever it is that helps you unwind. If it’s meditation and yoga, great. If it’s volunteering at the local animal shelter, that’s fantastic! If it’s taking weekly bike rides with your kids, keep up the good work. Stress is a silent killer. It leads to a number of deadly diseases and can be prevented by learning how to deal with it productively. You may not be able to control events around you but you can control your reaction to them.
  5. Develop meaning relationships with others. Human connection is vital. Having deep, personal relationships adds to a person’s health by reducing stress. If you need someone to walk with, you’ll likely find a willing partner who would enjoy spending more time with you. This could be a family member, close friend or neighbor. Having someone who holds you accountable for exercising, eating right, and relaxing helps tremendously as it keeps you focused on the big picture, greater health and longevity.

Treat your body better than you ever have before. Follow the tips listed above for greater health, vitality, and happiness. It’s never too late to change your lifestyle. Start today for a brighter future. You’ll feel distinctly better because of the choices you have made.
