Our mind and body are amazing but without good care they may not perform to their best. So here are some convenient ways to help them, help you.
1. Take 5 - minutes every hour to relax in what ever way works for you - breathing exercises, gazing at photos, or drinking herbal tea - the choice is yours.
2. Moisturise - the skin a couple of times a day to help prevent dryness and itching. Keeping cream visible and handy acts as a good reminder.
3. Drink liquid – because it’s amazing how drinking enough can make someone feel more energetic and brighter in themselves. Around eight glasses a day should suffice.
4. Do what you want to do – because, ‘All work and no play ……..’ So whether it’s a hobby, or time with family or friends, do it at least once a week.
5. Up the activity – by putting a little more spring into each step. Keeping active improves fitness and releases endorphins, the body’s natural mood lifters.
6. Be allergy aware – since hayfever is increasingly common. So be prepared with a pollen defence kit including wrap-around sunglasses, a nasal barrier gel, and appropriate treatments.
7. Start the day with breakfast - the most important meal of the day. In the time it takes to boil the kettle, a bowl of cereal can be eaten.
8. Watch the units – as even though a little alcohol may do us some good, too much definitely does harm. Men no more than 3-4 units and women no more than 2-3 units, a day.
9. Kick the smoking habit – to improve your health, and protect those around you. It may take a few attempts to quit, but it’s worth it in the long run.
10. Laugh out loud – as laughter may be the best medicine. It certainly doesn’t do any harm, and makes everyone feel good.
