11 Jan 2022
It can be difficult knowing what is best for you and your health, especially as there are so many mixed messages around what is good for you. Take a look at the guide below for some helpful pointers on how you can improve both your physical health and your mental health.
Focus On What You Eat
Diet is one of the most important aspects of leading a healthy balanced lifestyle. Looking at what you eat and being careful not to overindulge on junk food. Of course, enjoying the odd treat in moderation is absolutely fine. You should be enjoying a good amount of all the basic food groups, these include carbohydrates, proteins, fats, dairy, fruits, and vegetables. If you are unsure of portion sizes then you can take a look online for helpful advice on how to manage this, you can also consult the help of a nutritionist.
If you want to make your diet healthier and enjoy good, nutritious food then there are brands out there that should be found in your fridge and cupboards. One such brand is Bobs red mill, this is a highly sought-after brand that promises goodness and nutrition.
Look After Your Physical Health
As well as paying close attention to what you are eating, it is also a good idea to focus on how much you are moving. If you are mostly sitting still or laying down a lot your body won’t be feeling the effects of exercise. This can leave you feeling bogged down and exhausted. You should try to incorporate at least 30-45 minutes of exercise into your daily routine. This can be before or after work, or even during your lunch break.
The key here is finding an exercise you enjoy doing. If you see it as an exercise you are much less likely to want to do it. Swimming is a great exercise, as you work out most muscle groups in the body without feeling a thing. You could also take a look and see if there are any exercise classes in your local area. Working out with others increases your motivation as you and your brain see it as a challenge.
It may seem like a huge chore to exercise, but once you have started getting into a nice routine your body will thank you for it. You will feel a huge boost each time you exercise, this is the happy hormones doing their job.
Exercise Your Grey Matter
Finally, you don’t want to forget about your mental health and keeping that active and ‘fed’. It doesn’t take a lot to exercise your brain but if you suddenly stop then you are at risk of developing early-onset dementia or Alzheimer’s. Doing a crossword or sudoku puzzle each day will help you keep your brain active.
Another great tip for fighting off those awful conditions is to regularly meet up with friends. A study found that those who regularly interact with social circles are 12% less likely to develop age-related brain conditions.
We hope you found this article helpful and it gave you some tips and tricks on how to look after your all-around health and wellbeing.
