10 Tips for Health
1. Exercise. Yes, it is the first and most important one. No matter what is your age and weight, you can still find some kind of exercise suitable for you. Even walking for half hour everyday is good to you. Even if you cannot walk, swinging your arms is a kind of exercise.
2. Stay Happy and Feeling Good.
3. Balanced Diet.
4. Social Life.
5. Smoke Free.
-
Embrace nutrition basics. Eating right doesn’t have to be complicated. Forget the fad diets and adopt a healthy eating plan including a variety of fruits and vegetables, lean proteins, whole grains, and low-fat dairy.
-
Move more. Aim to get at least 150 minutes of moderate activity, such as walking, each week to assist in weight maintenance and overall health.
-
Be smoke free. Make a plan for the challenges you will face and keep trying your best. Seek support and talk to your doctor about medications that can double your chances of quitting for good.
-
Schedule sleep. Make sleep a priority to enjoy a more focused, energy-filled lifestyle. Aim for 7-9 hours of sleep each night. Create a relaxing bed-time routine and change your electronic device settings to the “night-shift” mode.
-
Prioritize preventive screenings. Many medical conditions can be recognized in the early stages by getting preventive screenings and immunizations. Ask your doctor about what screenings are recommended for you.
-
Connect with others. Building a community of people who can help you through life’s ups and downs is a vital step towards happiness and good health. Invest in relationships that provide encouragement and accountability to both parties.
-
Stress Less. Gratitude has been shown to lower stress, which prevents many other physical and mental consequences. Instead of focusing on what your body can’t do or how you wish your body looked, try expressing gratitude for where you are now and the opportunity to make improvements.
-
Work toward or maintain a healthy weight. If you are overweight, work toward losing 5-7% of your weight to significantly reduce your health risks. Studies show that individuals who track their intake using an app, such as myfitnesspal, lose more weight and keep it off compared to those who don’t track.
-
Set SMART goals. General goals such as “exercise more” are not effective. A SMART goal is Specific, Measurable, Action-oriented, Realistic, and Timely. “I will walk 20 minutes over my lunch break on Tuesdays and Thursdays” is a SMART goal.
-
Stay positive. Health goals don’t always go as planned. When you face challenges, focus on all of the positive changes you have made, no matter how small they seem. Treat yourself with kindness, like you would a good friend.
Health vs. Wealth
There should not be any conflict between health and wealth. Getting wealth does not necessarily sacrifice health. I think most people would say health is more important than wealth. Yes, it is. Health is just like the first digit of your total asset, your money asset is just the number of "zero" behind the first digit. That is, if you have 1 million dollars and very healthy (1 to 9 scale), your total asset would be 9,000,000. But say if your health is very bad, even if you have 1 million dollars, your asset is 0,000,000, which is zero. No matter how many digits of money you get, a zero digit in front of them is always a zero. In other words, money is no meaning if you don't have health.
Exercise is The Key to Healthy
The key to health is doing exercise. No matter what kind of exercise you prefer, just do it! Don't just sit a home and office every day. You have to do some exercise every week in order to keep your health.
Why people become aged at 50 to 60 Years?
It is proven by genetic engineering that human being can live to 120 to 130 years old. So, why our body aged so much at 50 to 60 years? It doesn't make sense, right? For animals, seems that they do not age at all at the age of their half lifespan. Some animals may still have their peak physical performance at their age of their half lifespan. Maybe it is time to think and do research to see if the aging problem is due to lack of exercise for people nowadays.
Tips for getting Start
Despite what age and body weight you are, everybody should be able to run slowly if you are able to walk. My tip is to start running in short duration and with a short stride. The strike can be as short as 20cm if you are not able to run faster. Mind your steps, start running slowly but continuously. Even a continuous run for 5 mins is a good start. You can add the duration by 10% every time. After a month or so, you can run for 2km at least without stopping. The trick is always run at a comfortable pace. You don't need to run very fast. Surely, you should consult your doctor if you have any illness or health problem or you seldom have exercise previously before you start the running exercise.
