Taking good Care of Your Mind and Body

.Taking Good Care of Your Mind and Body
Helen Chow, ND

Live A Healthy Lifestyle.
The world is big. Life moves at lightning speed today in the 21st century: Instant food. Instant weight loss. Instant Meditation. Instant Enlightenment. Instant Results….
.
And we can easily get burnt out, left in the dust, scratching our heads wondering what happened. Our ‘instant everything’ lifestyle doesn’t actually seem to work.
.
It’s really high time to assess and reassess your lifestyle on a regular basis, and tweak diligently until you fine-tune it to make it one which makes you a happy, balanced person. Yes, a
healthy lifestyle may seem to take a lot of work, but bear in mind, it’s YOUR LIFE. If you don’t care about your well-being, no one CAN suffer the consequences of bad choices for you BUT YOU yourself. Give this some real thought and consideration.
.
So get going and tweak the 5 suggestions below. You owe it to yourself.
.

1. Get Enough Sleep

Fall Asleep in 10 MinutesSleep is restorative. A lack of sleep affects your overall health, mind-body-spirit. Inadequate deep REM sleep can lead to depression, mental fogginess and eventually to health breakdown.
.
A better night’s sleep is energy-boosting and health-restorative. It is imperative to work towards this as a self-responsible person. If you have problems falling asleep, don’t start popping sleeping pill. Go for natural sleep remedies first like lavender, valerian and St John’s Wort herbal teas. These are effective in inducing sleep and don’t have side effects. Be kind and give your body a chance. Use natural means whenever possible.
.
Sleeping pills keep you in a drugged state and, taken with regularly, can have detrimental consequences. You only have to think of famous celebrities like Elvis Presley, who took pills to help them sleep and pills to help them wake up, a pill for this and a pill for that, and the dire tragedies of their lives.
.
A true story:
My cousin had (past tense) a sister-in-law who had access to free medication under a government scheme. So she dutifully took all and every pill prescribed FREE of charge. Why not, they were free? Save lots of money to spend on other things. That’s the mentality. So, for several decades, she popped pills indiscriminately. A few years after she retired, her kidneys failed, and she required daily dialysis. Then she developed dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. Being much weakened, she fell down one day, hit her head on the floor and fell into a deep coma. And passed away some time later. You decipher yourself the moral of this REAL story.
.
You could also other methods organic, natural sleep solutions like a proper sleep environment with zero blue lights, 100% dark drapes to prevent any light in your bedroom, a proper mattress and a regular sleeping time.
.
You can also try meditation and relaxation an hour prior to your bedtime. One very good way to induce natural sleep is to embrace a regular yoga practice. Massage is another helpful therapy for moving the bodily energy or ‘chi. Thai yoga massage is very helpful with this.
.
Try and try and try and try until you find a suitable sleep program for yourself which works. Your health and wellbeing are worth that much and more.
.

2. Eat Well: Eat Real Food

Quick Health Improvement WinsWe live in our physical bodies. Just like you wouldn’t put diesel in your Rolls Royce, would you put adulterated, processed, franken foods into your body?

However, that’s what the majority of people in developed countries do. And people in third-world countries are simply aspiring and  ‘dying’ to follow in these ‘affluent’ footsteps.

Fats which heal, fats which kill
Click for FREE Download

There are these bad ‘edible’ oils that we use which even flies wouldn’t choose to die in. Yet, we love our deep-fried chicken restaurant ~ our big treat to comfort ourselves after a harrowing day at the office or to quieten down our kids. What about our absolutely beloved beer-battered cod fry-up? Or extra chips at the local diner’s? Okay, add on the brown sauce and malt vinegar, mate!
.
Just the other day, I saw a takoyaki vendor at a street fair, generously slather his takoyaki balls (Octopus Balls, one of Japan’s best-known, much-loved street food originating from Osaka) with oil from a big pot using a big paint brush. Common sense would tell you that the oil would not be an extra virgin cold-pressed, organic oil. Yet, the queue, parents with their children, for these balls was long, long, long. Please come to your senses. Your life is that precious.
.
If you want a good fried chicken, this is a great, healthy, delicious Chicken Wing Délice Recipe
you can download for free. If you love fried foods, make them at home – with real ingredients and proper oils. Put in some elbow grease for your own good health.
.
Be wary. Become your very own food detective, and take a sneak peek at the condition of joint fryers and their contents. You might think not twice before ordering, but hopefully, this will put you completely, totally OFF. Do download and read this eReport Fats Which Heal, Fats Which Kill…

Sugar The Sweet Killer

What about sugar and all the foods and drinks made with it like soda/soft-drinks? Then people wonder why they’re lying in the operating theatre, scared as hell while waiting to have their toes or legs amputated. Those sodas/cakes/candies did taste ever so good, didn’t they…?
.
There are GM-ed (genetically-modified) foods with hidden chemical additives, colourings which have been marketed as healthy and good, but which your body cannot recognise and don’t know what to do with. So all these are shoved under the carpet in your body, so to speak. Then one day, all hell breaks loose. And people wonder why they are ill with cancer, or need to have open-heart surgery…

.
Try putting adulterated petrol in your beloved Harley Davidson tomorrow. People treat their beloved possessions better than their bodies…that is, until they are diagnosed with a degenerative disease. And are given the death sentence: “You’ve got 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, 12 months to live…” You’re never told you’ve got 5 months or 7 months, or 11 months.
.
Marketing is a ruthless industry. Much like a big, bad wolf in sheep’s clothing. Big food companies have profits as their main goal and priority. Do you think they think your health is that important? Go figure.

3. Move More

Maintaining Physical and Mental HealthAlong with eating REAL FOOD, you want to move your body. No point having a Bentley in your garage and admiring it every day, and not going for a spin in it.
.
Walking is one of the best exercises. Yoga is another excellent practice, as is swimming. Doing an exercise that you love is the best form of movement, so find something that you love and you’ll look forward to doing it.
.
Make sure that you have the proper exercise gear like footwear, or
orthotic insoles if you need them, and protective eye goggles if swimming is your joy. And then, just go do it.

4. Stay HydratedTaking Good Care of Your Mind and BodyYou body is made up of more than 70% water.

Water is the secret to health. “Medications are palliatives. They are not designed to cure the degenerative diseases of the body.” F. Batmanghelidj, M.D

According to Dr. Batmanghelidj, in his book: “Your Body’s Many Cries for Water“ a lack of water is a source of a great many medical disorders.
.
It’s very important for you to ensure that your body stays as hydrated as possible by drinking sufficient water.
.

5. Reduce Stress, Practise Mindfulness

Your mental health is vitally important. All the good work you do with your physical health through eating real food, avoiding chemicals and the excessive and unnecessary consumption of prescription drugs will be wasted if your mental health is poor and if stress is your constant daily companion.
.
Stress CAN KILL. Stress DOES KILL. You can learn how to stop mental stress. Do not NOT disregard stress. Because it will break your down, bit by bit, insidiously. Slowly and surely.
.
Mindfulness is ONE great life-saving practice to practise and master. Make it your goal to
be more mindful. You can start with deep breathing. Then, watch your thoughts. If you practise with diligence (if you deem your life worth it), you will eventually begin to ‘catch’ your thoughts. You will see them coming. And if you have been practising mindfulness, you will see that your thoughts are not really you. Because you can ‘see’ them. And then you can choose to ‘catch’ which to think, and which not to use.

How To Improve Energy Levels ~ 4 Smart Hacks

Strong Fit and Healthy into Old Age

.4 Smart Hacks to Improve Your Energy Levels 

4 Smart Hacks to Improve Your Energy Levels .
Busy lifestyles and hectic, often stressful schedules with sometimes near-impossible demands at work and at home can mean we don’t have time for the essential things that can, in fact, improve our health and boost our energy levels.

Little STRESS BUSTER Book 350
Click Here for FREE Download

Whether this is skipping our meditation and yoga classes, or absences at the gym because we feel too tired, or grabbing a takeout because we don’t have time to cook – all these conveniences soon start mounting up.
.
The things we don’t have time for can sometimes be the things that can give us some real boost for extra internal energy to help us power through the day.
.
So if you feel drained with dire lack of motivation, check out 4 top hacks to improve your energy levels. They will give you back the zing to help tackle the day ahead. You owe it to yourself to revamp yours to a lifestyle you actually love to live!

Love Yourself Enough to Live A Healthy Lifestyle ~ Naturally!

1. Exercise In Correct Doses and At The Correct Time

4 Smart Hacks to Improve Your Energy Levels You could exercise up a storm by running a marathon. That may frighten you, and it’s not necessary to do that to feel the benefits of exercise. You can make exercise easier to do.
.
Movement is one simple key to boosting energy levels. Just doing 15-30 minutes a day can help get the blood flowing. This naturally boosts your energy levels.
.
Scheduling exercise is often perceived as the real chore, so many people don’t enjoy making time for it. But, it doesn’t have to be a full-on fitness regime to reap the benefits: Simply start small, with a short walk around the local area on your lunch break. Or cycle to work if it’s not too far away.
.
It might be challenging to get started, but you’ll be rewarded pretty quickly.
.
Tips when and where NOT to exercise

  • At night, prior to bedtime. This will hype you up, and disrupt your ability to fall asleep easily. It will also make you hungry, and therefore you will pile on weight, and feel lethargic.
  • In an exercise room with bright lights and mirrors. 
  • Too much exercise can make you fat and lethargic, contrary to what you want to achieve.

2. Eat Smarter. Be A Sherlock Holmes Food Detective.

4 Smart Hacks to Improve Your Energy Levels Premium food is the fuel for our bodies. However, even knowing this basic fact, we still put stuff into it that are often detrimental to our health and energy levels.
.
If you owned a Rolls Royce, you wouldn’t use diesel, would you? You would fill her up with top premium fuel, so she would purr, and run smoothly like velvet.
.

Sugar The Sweet Killer

So, why don’t we today do the same with their Rolls Royce bodies? We feed on genetically-modified foods, processed foods, chemical-laden foods, microwaved foods, franken-foods and pseudo foods that animals and insects are smart enough to avoid – but not so humans. Then we wonder why cancer, diabetes, heart attacks, strokes ‘HAPPEN TO US’ !

Understanding the basics is the easy part. Eat REAL FOOD. The doing is the difficult part. We get mesmerised by the advertisements of this, that and other, ‘tempting’ foods.
.
We get conned, duped by false information given to us by food manufacturers and even official food organisations which are supposed to protect us.

Fats which heal, fats which kill

Let’s take a look at processed oils and margarines. These are touted as beneficially healthy – vegetable-based, low cholesterol.
.
Now, if you were to leave a pat of margarine or a bowl of this so-called clear-coloured healthy oil in an undisturbed corner of your kitchen and forget about them, for perhaps 6 months?
.
In 6 months’ time, you will find them more or less in the same state as they were 6 months previously. Well, you might find the stuff a bit stale and dusty but they would not have changed much otherwise.

What you will not find is that some animal (rat?) or insect had been at them, eaten them. Because these ‘foods’ are NOT real foods. They are franken-foods. Clever rat. Clever insects. What about us humans? You give your own answer. Additionally, the stuff would not have spoiled, even after 6 months.

Have you also ever wondered why you don’t need to refrigerate your bottle of ketchup? Or shop-bought mayonnaise? So good, isn’t it?
.
You can leave the stuff on the table and not bother about them going bad. You could eat them even 2 to 3 years from now, if you have not consumed all of it in the meantime. Aren’t those food scientists clever!

Then, crikey, cancer ‘HAPPENS’ to you out of the blue, or to your Dad, or to your neighbour’s kid. Poor unlucky you, poor unlucky Dad, poor unlucky neighbour’s kid…
.

SMART MOVE: CUT OUT THE CRAP…’FOODS’. Treat your body like a Rolls Royce. Give it the best REAL FOOD.

Be proactive. Learn about nutrition, health. Be a food detective and not  be conned by, and succumb to, the blatant lies told you about the sub-par processed franken-pseudo foods you purchase for yourself and your family.
.

Do you actually realise that you are actually going to put these ‘foods’ into your body? Warning: Your foods and drinks become you, for good or bad. So you’d better make sure the ingredients are good.

Become your own Sherlock Holmes Food Detective, for you and your family. You owe it to yourself and to them.

.
3. Drink Sufficient Water. WATER.
NOT Sufficient ‘Other Drinks’

WATER MIRACLEAccording to Dr. F. Batmanghelidj, M.D., water is so vital for health that our body literally cries out for water for health maintenance. Surprisingly, even though our body is made up of up to 60% water, we still don’t drink enough to replenish its stock.
.
Water replenishes your cells and clears out toxins in your body to give you an energy boost. Lack of it can lead to slow digestion, fatigue, breakouts and dehydration. To give you a helping hand, you can also try
Donat Mg, which is proven to stimulate digestion naturally.
.
What you don’t want is to drink other beverages in place of water. These include sodas, soft drinks, alcohol and yes, even fruit juices. Contrary to what health authorities tell you, these drinks, in quantity, are prime candidates for ill health including diabetes, stroke and cancer.
.
Your sugary drinks become you, so what you ingest goes into your system, for better or for worse, just like food. What you want is WATER.

4. Implement A Good Sleep Hygiene

REM SleepSleep is another aspect we don’t get enough of, and when we do, it’s often not a great night’s sleep.
.
Many people don’t feel well-rested due to everyday stresses, and some find it even harder to drift off each night. One of the main reasons our brains can’t shut off is due to the relationship with our mobile devices. The blue light these emit stimulates the brain and means you can’t switch off, especially at night.
.
To get a better night’s rest, read a good book you love before bedtime. Avert your eyes from digital devices before sleep can help you shut off quicker and enjoy some undisturbed rest to help you feel recharged the next day.

Natural Remedies For A Good Night’s Sleep ~ 4 Top Natural Solutions

Below are 6 tips for a restful night’s sleep.

  • Wind down all activities at least 2 hours before your scheduled bedtime
    .
  • All unresolved issues, unfinished tasks should be written down, to be picked up and worked on the following day. The act of transferring these tasks elsewhere relieves your brain and allows it to relax.
    .
  • Do some relaxing activity you love during that 2 hours before sleep, for example, meditation, restful music, reading relaxing poetry.
    .
  • Your bedroom must be dark with zero light. Use thick drapes etc to ensure your bedroom is pitch black.
    .
  • Remove all blue light items including smart phones, laptops, televisions from your bedroom. They contribute to agitated sleep.
    .
  • Have a calming drink before sleep, eg camomile tea. Alcohol is not a good idea: it may send you to sleep but your sleep won’t be restful and you may wake up with a hangover. Natural sleep remedies include valerian root, lavender, St. John’s wort and magnesium..

The Importance of Maintaining Physical and Mental Health ~ 4 Helpful Tips

November 14, 2018 By Luckily Leave a Comment

Relaxed Lady

.Life Changes: Why Maintaining Physical and Mental Health is Important. 4 Tips which help!
 Maintaining Physical and Mental Health

Even though we often separate the mind from the body, in reality, they’re interrelated. As one goes, so does the other.
.
Maintaining Physical and Mental HealthWhen you have an intense learning curve ahead, give your body and your mind the best of what they need. Exercise, nutrition, rest, and stimulation all combine to create an ideal platform for coping and achievement.
.
What is required is a balance of both mind and body, and this subtle art is much forgotten in our 21st century world today.
.
As responsible adults, we need to be mindful of this for both ourselves and our families and then to the outer community as a whole. We need to practise it ourselves and teach it to our children and then take it out to our communities.

The Mind Body Balance ~ 3 Ways to Restore It When It’s Gone

1. Get Some Exercise 

The best brain boost you can give yourself is plenty of exercise. When your heart is pumping more blood, your lungs are pulling in more oxygen, which benefits the mind.
.
Healthy and enjoyable exercises include swimming, country rambles and cycling. There are others like go-karting and hiking. All these involve the mind and body synchronicity benefiting the person as a whole.
.
When exercising, hormones in the brain become more active, especially the hippocampus where memory and learning occur. Giving yourself a learning aide helps you face and cope with new situations and makes learning easier. 

Creating A Safe Exercise and Fitness Plan ~ 5 Important Considerations

2. Eat Well 

 Maintaining Physical and Mental HealthFood and nutrition play an incredibly important role in how well your body and mind work together.
.
Food and the nutrients it supplies form the basis for your mental and physical performance. Without these building blocks, your mind can’t maintain its cellular health, which will impact how you perceive reality.
.
If you have any eating issues beyond a distaste for certain foods, consider the help you can receive from an
eating disorder program.

Best Foundational Health Improvements ~ 4 of The Top Wins

3. Get Enough Sleep 

While scientists still don’t know the exact benefits that sleep gives the body, they do know that without enough you can’t function as well.
.
If you’re sleep deprived and challenged, pay attention to what the experts say. Avoid bringing a television into your bedroom, turn off your electronic devices and don’t consume too much caffeine.
.
Some people find that their sleep improves if they stop napping during the day.  Yet others, including sleep experts, say that catnapping is a healthy and efficient use of time.
.
If napping leaves you wide-eyed at night, eliminate it to see how you feel. If you benefit from a quick midday snooze, add it to your daily routine. 

Natural Remedies For A Good Night’s Sleep ~ 4 Top Natural Solutions

4. Novel / New Experiences ~ Do Something Different

Maintaining Physical and Mental HealthThe brain wakes right up when you expose it to something new, so why not take a walk or go bicycling in a different neighborhood?
.
Or perhaps you could add new equipment to your exercise routine? Or go swimming elsewhere that you don’t normally go? It will stimulate both your mind and body.
.
Your muscles may be subject to something new and your brain will release more dopamine, the feel-good hormone.

.Live A Healthier Life ~ 5 Easy Achievable Tips

Everybody wants to be healthy and lead an active and fulfilled life. But what does that even mean? What is it that we can do for ourselves to make our lives healthier? .
.
Although the answers may differ from one person to another, there are several things that we can do to promote a good and healthy lifestyle.
.
Below are five tips to achieve this.
.

1. Make your sleep count

Live A Healthier Life If you don’t sleep enough, you can end up damaging your health. You will start feeling anxious and tired.
.
So, sleeping about eight hours a night will do the trick. Or will it? Well, simply sleeping won’t be enough.
.
You have to make sure that your sleep is restful and undisturbed. If your bed is uncomfortable or your phone keeps alerting you of messages you receive during the night, you’re not really sleeping properly.
.
Invest in a good mattress and pillow, switch your phone off during the night and avoid looking at bright screens right before going to bed. Create a calming bed-time routine and stick to it. Going to bed and waking up at the same time will allow you to
make the most of your sleep.

2. Be physically active

Live A Healthier Life Joining a gym might sound great to some people, but not to all. So, find an activity you actually enjoy and do it regularly.
.
Obviously, you don’t have to be inside a gym to be active. You can get some workout gear, including comfortable
compression clothing that promotes good blood flow, and work out in your garden or nearby park.
.
Choose cycling, swimming or hiking if you prefer being outside, or take up dancing classes if that’s what makes you happy. You can work out alone, join an exercise group, or find a workout partner.
.
Needing to lose some extra weight? Easy peasy. Take advantage of technology and use apps to help you achieve your ideal weight.
.
The important thing is to keep moving, since physical activity can boost your energy and mood, while doing wonders for your overall health.

3. Eat your meals

How to Improve Your Cardiovascular HealthAlthough you should be a careful about the food you choose, you should under no circumstances be hungry or skip :meals. Even if life gets stressful and busy, this should be your first priority: Fit healthy eating into your lifestyle!
.
This especially applies to breakfast: 
a healthy breakfast will load you with the energy you need to get all your tasks done and keep you full, so that you don’t reach for sugary snacks before lunch.

It would be ideal to have three main meals and two snacks between them every day. Avoid fast food, processed and genetically-modified foods, sweets, white bread or pasta.
.
Instead, choose real food loaded protein and natural fats like butter, fresh fruit and vegetables, fish and poultry.
.

4. Stay positive

Your mental health is just as important as the physical. So do your best to maintain a positive attitude towards life and the people surrounding you.

First, get rid of stress. Take classes to learn how to do this. Then, do things you like, whatever they are. Yes, you need to work, but don’t overdo it. And once you’re out of the office, leave all your work related thoughts there.
.
You need to have some time to relax and enjoy life every day. Read books, watch films, travel, visit your friends, fall in love, cuddle with your pet and sing at the top of your lungs when you feel like it.
.
Spend time outdoors. Don’t hold back your emotions. Tend to your own needs, since they’re as important as anybody else’s. Don’t lose contact with your friends and family, since people with no friends can be lonely, stressed and even depressed.
.
Love your life and stay positive.

5. Maintain good hygiene

Brush your teeth twice a day and floss at least once a day. Take regular showers or baths, scrubbing your body thoroughly and washing your hair no more than once or twice a week.
.
Wash your hands frequently, keep your clothes clean and wash them as soon as they become sweaty or otherwise dirty. Also, keep your house clean, disinfect your kitchen and bathroom once a week and make sure you bathe your pet regularly, if you have one.
.
Good hygiene is important for your health and by maintaining it, you can avoid various diseases and infections.

Only when you’re healthy can you be truly happy, so do what’s necessary to improve your physical and mental well-being. Adopt some good habits and live your life to the fullest.
