A few tips to live a healthy life

Are you feeling “off”? Are you tired all the time and do not have the energy to do the daily chores? These are the consequences of an unhealthy lifestyle you have been living for years.

You may have digestive issues, and you feel ill all the time. You may feel anxious about everything and cannot concentrate on your job or studies. These are the signs of an unhealthy lifestyle. A complete medical checkup from Live Long Health will help you cope with your health-related issues.

However, here is the good news: this blog will help you change your lifestyle and become healthier and fitter!  You can change your condition to help you feel better, and the best part is that you don’t have to go to the gym or buy fancy workout tools. You need to make a few changes to improve your well-being.

How you can start your healthy lifestyle:

While starting a new journey towards a healthy life, you should make “SMART” goals. So, what is meant by SMART:

• Specified
• Measurable
• Attainable
• Relevant
• Time bound

If you set your SMART goals and follow your SMART goals, you will succeed in your journey.

Follow these tips to improve your overall well-being:

Eat more greens:

According to a research study, eating more vegetables and fruits will reduce the risk of many chronic diseases such as cancer, stroke, and heart disease. Try to add more than one serving of vegetables at dinner, or you may take a single serving of fruit or vegetable at every meal.

Replace refined grains with whole grains:

To get health benefits, you should replace refined grains with whole grains. Many studies from 2016 to 2020 have shown that whole grains are the healthiest food and are rich in essential nutrients, including B vitamins. Consuming whole grains can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disorders and diabetes.

• Whole grains include:
• Whole grain bread
• Whole grain pasta
• Wild and brown rice
• Millet
• Quinoa
• Barley

Involve in physical activity

You don’t need to run a marathon to be healthy!

Just walk, take dancing lessons, try YouTube workout videos or practice martial arts. Choose an activity to enjoy and make your body active. Start with 10 minutes a day and twice a week and maintain consistency.

Avoid stress:

Long-term stress will affect your mental health and immune system, making you susceptible to infections and health disorders such as digestive issues, hypertension, diabetes, and anxiety. Try mindfulness practices, including deep breathing, meditation, and spending time in the greens; these activities will help lower stress levels.

Keep good company:

Stay connected with your friends and family. It will help your mental health. Many studies have reported that isolation will lead to depression, poor self-care, headaches, and neck pain.

A healthy lifestyle will help you long-term, making you happy and bringing you positivity. At Live Long Healthy, we ensure patient care by helping patients take preventive measures against the disease. Please consult us now and book an appointment to know about your health better!
