A couple of night ago I condensed many health tips I give people into My Top 10 Wellness Tips (for the mind, body, heart and spirit):
10) Floss daily. Don't neglect your oral health; flossing your teeth and gums is very healthy!
9) Move, be active! Don’t sit for long periods of time.
8) Get sufficient sleep. Sleep helps your body to rejuvenate, re-energize and restore.
 |
| Every one has different sleeping needs, but research suggests that adults should get between 7 to 9 hours of sleep a day. I aim for this amount and I focus on getting "quality" sleep. (I wear earplugs and a blindfold to bed every night.) |
7) Drink lots of water! Hydration prevents and and relieves headaches, promotes digestion and has many more benefits.
6) Eat mostly plants: fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, seeds and nuts. “When eating plants focus on QUALITY not quantity.”
 |
| Instead of "eating less" of the stuff on the red arrow, I would say to avoid them. Not only will these foods derail you from reaching your health and fitness goals, but I honestly feel that these will encourage any addictions of unhealthy foods, cause mood swings and irritability, and make you sicker more frequently than not consuming them at all. Stick to a whole foods, plant-based diet. |
5) Question negative thoughts that pop into your head. Our own mind can be our worst enemy.
| Don't believe your mind when it tells you something negative. Your mind can be your worst enemy or your best friend. |
4) For happiness: enjoy getting sunshine (for vitamin D production), genuinely smile, and be kind to others.
3) Cultivate self-love. Only you can truly love and accept yourself as you are.
2) Breathe and be here now; Be present.
 |
| This is your life, it's happening right now! Life is too short to sweat the small stuff, feel guilty about the past or stress/worry about the future. |
1) Set the example of healthy living. Be the change.
 |
| I try to live my life by this simple quote alone. |
Love,
Bea
