How many of us have ever woken up tired in the morning? How many of us have felt sluggish in the afternoon? How many of us have a few more pounds we’d like to shed, but we just can’t seem to get them off?
Our bodies are designed to be bursting with energy and they’re designed to be healthy. So why do most of us feel like we’re fighting with our bodies every day?
There are 2 reasons our body behaves this way. A) Because too much toxicity is going in and B) because it’s being deprived of the nutrients it requires.
America is the fattest nation in the world. It did not get that way by eating fruits and vegetables. It got that way because we live our lives on a diet of food that’s nutrient deficient and loaded with processed chemicals.
Simply making a few tweaks in your diet and lifestyle will make improvements to your health that you will begin to feel almost immediately.
3 things you can start doing right now to significantly improve your health are:
1. Drink more water: We’ve all heard that you’re supposed to drink 8 glasses of water each day, right? But does it make any sense that a petite 110 pound woman needs to drink as much as a 200 pound man?
The correct way to calculate the amount of water you need to drink each day is to drink half your body weight in ounces. So if you weight 150 pounds, you need to drink at least 75 ounces of water each day. More if you’re exercising or if you live in a hot climate.
Being properly hydrated not only gives you more energy, it also helps your liver flush all of the toxicity out of your body. Drinking enough water alone can help you lose weight and increase your energy and mental clarity.
2. Conscious Breathing: Of course we all breathe, but do we breath enough? The ancient yogis knew the power of deep breathing and the relaxation and health benefits that it brings.
It’s something that you can employ as well.
Your body is designed to be relaxed, not stressed. Being stressed is actually one of the reasons our bodies put on weight. It’s a very old survival instinct that we have. Hundreds of years ago the major stress our bodies experienced was famine. So to protect us from famine, our bodies would pack on fat when there was food available so that it could be used later.
Nowadays we don’t live in fear of starving, but our bodies still react in the same way when it’s feeling stressed.
If you’re having hard time at work or with family, and you begin to feel stressed, your body will go in “famine-mode”, and will start “packing weight on for the winter.”
A very simple way to keep this from happening is to be calm and relaxed. Practicing deep breathing will very quickly bring these results.
30 seconds. That’s all it takes. Simply breath deeply for 30 seconds anything you’re feeling stressed. If you feel embarrassed go to the bathroom and do it. Just breathe deeply for 30 seconds.
This simple thing, that so many of us take for granted, is a key ingredient to living a healthy, relaxed life.
3. Eat More Fruits and Vegetables: I’ll be the first to admit, I don’t like eating fruits and vegetables. But I know that they’re good for me and that they’ll make me healthy.
So a way I’ve found to cheat this system is by juicing.
When you eat an apple, the nutrients are in the apple’s juice. Your body extracts the juice from the fiber because that’s what it needs. The fiber gets flushed away.
Juicing does the same thing. Except that it presents your body with a nutrient rich substance that’s easy to absorb. The body doesn’t need to spend any time breaking it down.
Having a vitamin-rich, freshly extracted juice for breakfast not only satisfies you, but gives a ton of energy that fuels you for the rest of your day. And these juices taste like something out of the Garden of Eden. Pure Heaven.
These 3 tips together will transform your health and increase your vitality. Make these changes and within a few short days you’ll notice weight coming off, increased energy and razor-sharp mental clarity.
Who says all baby foods are bland? Baby foods can also be hot or spicy. All the flavors of the Indian cuisine can be incorporated into your daily baby food meals. Going into a baby food diet doesn’t mean you have to stop enjoying all your favorite Indian foods. In fact, Indian baby food recipes are one of the most popular among adult consumers.
That rosy, glowing, healthy complexion we all want may have nothing to do with the beauty products you use and much to do with the fruits and veggies you eat as part of your regular diet says a new study. According to researchers, over a 6 week period, the fluctuations in consumption of fruits and veggies was associated with an observable change in skin color. Not only did using your diet for skin health result in it looking healthier by the time the study ended, it was judged to be more attractive too.
