Your healthy body that works well is the most valuable thing you own. It's the first thing of value you get when you come into this world, so you owe it to yourself to treat it well and make it work better. Today, I'll show you 4 ways to make your body and life healthier over time so you can enjoy life to the fullest.
Think Right: "As your mind goes, so goes your life." Meaning: Your life is made up of the thoughts you have, the actions you take, and the results of those actions. If a person who is 400 pounds overweight keeps thinking that they need a pound of ice cream every day to be happy, they can't lose 100 pounds in a year. Clearly, the only way to change this deeply ingrained habit pattern is to gradually change the way you think to one that will lead to the right habits and actions, which will then lead to the results you want.
The second key is to eat and drink right: It's also very important to eat the right foods. This is hard for a lot of people to do because they have bad eating habits that can be hard to change without help. How would you rate the food you eat? Understand that your body is a living thing that rebuilds itself with the food you eat. Before a cell dies, it makes a copy of itself out of the food you are eating. So think about this: If you could, would you make your body from the nutrients in the food you are eating right now?
Key #3: The Right Way to Rest: Rest = Restore. Makes sense, doesn't it? Exercise and movement are important for getting blood flowing and getting rid of waste, but rest and sleep give the body a chance to clean, repair, and renew itself on a deep cellular level. To get healthy, you need to give your body the food and rest it needs to heal.
The fourth key is to be happy every day: Some people might think it's impossible to be happy every day, but I'm here to tell you that it is possible. YES IT IS! How? First of all, I think you should smile for at least one minute every morning when you wake up. Even if everything in your life is going wrong, you should still smile. There are a lot of good things about smiling that I won't go into here, but from a chemical point of view, it's good for the body. Second, I think you should smile and say "hi" to as many people as possible during the day. Just following these two tips will make a big difference in your life and mood. My main tip for being happy every day will be in an article on nutrigoddess.com called "How to be Happy Every Single Day!"
What's the bottom line?
- Eating & drinking Right
- Don't be wrong
- Getting Good Rest
- Always being happy
To be in good health, you need to do these four things.
