Every new year, we tend to look and aim for better life. Plans are being laid out mentally or physically. Good ideas prop up. Over time, concentration and keen commitment are vanished. Thus, leaving such ideas and plans as mere sketches and blueprints that were never enacted.
If you are aiming for a stress reduced and healthy life, try these 12 beneficial tips below:
Exercise- It doesn’t need to be costly, you can try walking around the neighborhood. You can get fresh air that will improve your respiratory system and make your locomotion active. Twenty to thirty minutes of walking would be enough for the day.
Food- Pay attention to your intake. Choose good food. Veggies are good sources of fiber and vitamins. Try to minimize your red meat intake. Opt for beans and legumes as meat substitutes. It would be nice if you practice one meatless day a week. It would also be beneficial if you have two or three servings of fish a week. Lessen your sugar intake. Choose different spices in lieu of salt. Show the world that healthy people are happy eaters.
Water- It is a must to have enough water in our body. Drinking at least 8 glasses of water daily will aid our body to maintain healthy skin, good resistance and regular bowel movement.
