A Friendly Reminder

We are half-way through 2016. Let me guess... most if not all of our New Year’s resolutions have been broken L. Let me guess again... top of that list is about health and losing weight!

I don’t mean to rub it in; rather, my intention is to remind you that health is wealth. Our environment has become so polluted that sickness abounds everywhere. You don’t have to live in a third world country to experience life debilitating illnesses. In fact, most of the life threatening illnesses are common in the first world countries. I know you are aware of this; so, this is just a friendly reminder to make you get back to your promises concerning your health.

Here are reminders that will help you regain your health and your life.

Eat more fish. The fatty acids found in fish may decrease the risk of stroke. This good oil improves the viscosity and clotting of blood.

Avoid alcoholic drinks. The key is moderation; more than 2 servings for men and 1 serving for women will have a negative effect on health.

Stress leads to hypertension and definitely other life-threatening diseases. Distract yourself from stress by taking up a hobby, exercising, or meditating. Allow yourself to daydream. Revel in the fantasy and smile; this will put you in a good mood for the rest of the day.

Drink more water. Make sure you have a glass or bottle of water close to you wherever you are or whatever you are doing.

Eat right. Heart disease can be overcome with proper nutrition. Load up on vegetables to remove saturated fat.

Sweat it out. The only way to strengthen heart muscles is to exercise. This should shake off high triglycerides level. Adopting a regular exercise program will strengthen your heart beat by beat.

Here’s to a healthy you this year and the years to come J
