Living a healthy life starts with making the right choices and making the right choices is a product of the information you have about your health
As it is, making the right choices about your health starts by knowing what health is. Since I don't want to bore you with definitions, of which I know is not why you are reading this post, I will quickly jump into the simple but yet important tips on making good and healthy decisions that will promote your health.
How to make healthy choices
Just so you know, it is never too late to make healthy choices, not matter how old you. Just start from where you are… How worst can it get?
Be patient: this may sound funny, but the reason why you are looking for ways to live a better life is because some bad decision have been made and it took a while for it to get this bad. So if you want to make changes that would be as visible as the problem you are facing, then you must learn to be patient with the new decisions and choices you are going to start making. So that is that with this part, take it seriously because it is the bedrock at which the other tips will stand on.
Eat what is healthy: what do I mean by “eat healthy foods?” usually, when you hear such statement, the first thing that should logically come to your mind should be that there are unhealthy foods, right? Well I hate to burst your burbles, there are no such things as bad foods. The only thing that makes foods bad is how they are made. But on a general ground, all foods are good. The idea for the word “food” is any substance that can be ingested into the body for the purpose of nourishment. So whatever is not nourishing simply means it’s not food. And that means it should not be categorized as food. but why is it that some people eat certain foods and still experience some challenges, you may ask? The simple answer to that is because they are not eating it rightly. So the right question is, how can I eat rightly? Once you can answer that question which I will discuss in another post, you will start making the right choices of the foods to eat and how to eat them.
Be mobile: The human body has been created for mobility and anything apart from that will affect the functionality of the body’s system. It is therefore important that you take exercises seriously. But note, it is not all kind of exercises that work as great as you think, there are bunch of newly created exercises by new fitness people that are not as good as they claim they are, so stick to the old routine but don't totally block the new ones because there are some that are good among them, it's just that they are hard to find. So the best way bet is to meet your doctor for advice before your start any form of exercise, most especially if you have had any health issues before now.
Learn to rest: after a long days work, it will do you no harm if you take your bath, have a nice meal and then sleep off. Some people feel sleeping is luxury. Well, I say it is not. It is a necessity that every single soul on the surface of the earth should have. The least hours of sleep an average person should have is between 6-8 hours a day. if you can't get that much, you could at least try getting five hours. But at all is what you should avoid because it is not a healthy idea at all. It is like cutting your days short and I'm sure you don't want to do that. So find that time to sleep no matter how busy you are because if you don't, it will tell on your body sooner or later no matter the anti sleeping pills or other sleep preventing measures you adopt. You cannot cheat nature; it will always have its course on you, either positive of negative. And to get the positive part of it, you ought to make health choices.
These are just four tips that I hope should give you that nudge to start making healthy choices now that you can because life starts when you start living healthy. Have fun and be kind of leaving a comment on the various areas of healthy living you would like me to write about. Have a lovely life!
