How To Be Healthier In Life


Author: Jim Somchai


Good health is always one of the major goals most people want. Yet a lot of people do not know exactly what good health means. Also, they don't know what to do in order to be healthier. In addition, most people do not conduct the daily life that supports good health. They can have thousands of reasons not to do what they are supposed to do. In this article, we will talk about this one major ingredient in life and how we can achieve the best of it.

Health consists of both physical and mental factors. We can determine healthy by many means. We can measure health by checking pulse rate, blood pressure or using other medical ways. But we can also use our personal judgment by seeing if we have enough energy and vitality in our daily activities. Most people get tired easily and do not feel vibrant in their life. That's when you may want to look into your following areas:

Do you have good enough nutrition in your life?

Nutrition problem is one of the major problems in this world. The result of poor choices of food can initiate many illnesses including obesity, cancer, diabetics, high cholesterol, cardiac disease etc. All these illnesses can be prevented beforehand by right nutrition. The problem is whether you know what you should eat and you really care to do what you should do.

Study on the right nutrition and practice is essential to good health. With the new world of internet, you can easily access all the information you need to find out how you can get better nutrition. Do it, find it and practice it. Aim to keep your weight at the optimal level. Not to high or low. Avoid all fatty foods that will pollute your body. If you can do a good choice of your nutrition pattern, your journey to good health is ready more than half way.

Do you have enough exercise?

This is the bitter pill to many people. Exercise? No, I don't have time for that. Of course, nobody have time to insignificant things. Unfortunately, exercise is not that unimportant. It is on the contrary one of the most important tool to make you healthier. Schedule your time to exercise at least four to five times a week. You will need to do both aerobic and anaerobic exercises alternately. Each day, make sure that you exercise continuously at least thirty minutes.

Do you drink enough water per day?

Water is important for your excretion of waste from the body. Not enough water ingestion can lead to many illnesses such as constipation, poor skin condition and other metabolism disorders. Drink clean water at least eight to ten glasses of water per day. This will ensure healthier life for you.

Do you practice diaphragm breathing?

Breathing and letting your diaphragm move up and down will be a way to make sure that you have enough air into your lung in each inhale. You can easily notice that if you breathe right, your tummy will be swollen when you inhale and it will go down when you exhale. Right breathing pattern will help your body to receive more oxygen in each inhalation.

Do you have the right mental attitude?

Life has full of problems. If you do not see the world in a right angle, you will have a sick mind. If you have sick mind, you will have sick body. Practice and learn how you should see and feel the world. With the right attitude, you will have better life and health.

There are other ingredients that are not mentioned here including avoid all the polluted chemicals into your body, and practice above principles with discipline. I know you see the picture.

Having a good health is what people want most. This article talks about what to do in order to have better health.

How To Live To 100 years ?

Author: Kelvin Ho


In today society, 50 is no longer considered old. In fact, 50 is the new 30, as many now 30 year olds are realizing their own youth. A few generations ago, the life expectancy was dismally young, and many people of generation X lost grandparents who were only a little older than their parents are now. Baby boomers are not feeling old, and are wondering what is the secret to longevity?

The greatest secret to longevity has everything to do with what we put into our bodies and what we expect out of our bodies. When we eat a healthy clean diet, refrain from unhealthy habits like drugs, alcohol, smoking, and even too much doctor prescribed and over the counter medication, our bodies operate on a higher level of functioning. Moderate daily exercise like walks and gardening can also boost our longevity by a few years.

Good health is about balance. The secret to longevity is about achieving that balance on a daily basis while learning to live more freely within ourselves. Faith, regardless of what denomination, has proven to help people live healthier, happier, and longer lives. Simply having faith in the universe can prolong life by increasing our daily level of joy. Depression, even mild depression that makes us tired or feel down for short periods of time, does actually inhibit our ability to feel at our healthiest and can inhibit daily practices that increase our health and increase our longevity.

Genetics may or may not play a role in the secret to longevity. In some cases, an individual who had two parents die of a heart attack but took excellent care of their body (like not drinking, smoking, playing around with recreational enhancements, or eating high cholesterol foods) might be able to make up for whatever their genetics may have given them. In other cases, doing all the right things may not outweigh the genetic roles our DNA has determined for us. This does not imply that a person whose parents died of cancer will automatically get cancer no matter what they do. Rather, by controlling the factors we can control, we might be able to tip the balance in our favor.

Mental workouts are just much part of the secret to longevity as physical workouts. For those who spend retirement in front of the mind numbing television, chances are good they will begin to experience mental challenges much earlier than someone who experiences life to the fullest, visits with neighbors and friends to have intellectual discussions, and pulls out the crossword puzzle instead of the TV Guide for mental stimulation.
