Be Well and Live Well with These Simple Health Tips

Nutrition is more than food, it's the way we live our lives. Your nutritionist in Johns Creek & Alpharetta, GA will guide you to eating well, and she'll guide you to being well.

Life and the world in general has become so complex that going to back to old simple ways is something that’s difficult to do, if not impossible. Many researchers disclose different claims saying that you have to avoid this and that in order to live a longer life. While some of these scientific claims are true, you also have to take into account the simple things that can define your health. Other than incorporating our diet recommendations and weight management tips, see to it that you also include the following in your list. 

Sleep Peacefully 

When you were young, chances are your mom nagged you to go to bed early so can have a complete eight-hour slumber. Your mom had a point. Make sure to sleep for about 7-8 hours. Sleep improves memory and sharpens your attention span. With proper sleep, you may also reduce daytime fatigue and improve your stamina. 

Talk it Out

When you feel bad, you make yourself prone to negative external factors that can cause diseases. Instead of basking in a sea of tears without making your problems known, talk to a trusted friend or a counselor. Doing this will ease pain to a certain degree, and you will also gain valuable insight from the point of view of someone you trust.

Laugh Out Loud

Laughter is indeed the best medicine. When you laugh, you release endorphins, a chemical that triggers positive feelings. Laughing can also lower your blood pressure, increase vascular blood flow and blood oxygenation. It also gives your diaphragm, facial, and back muscles a workout. 

Breathe In and Breathe Out

Many things keep you busy that breathing sometimes becomes second priority. Take some time off what you’re doing and remember how to breathe, from your diaphragm or belly. It’s much more than just a survival mechanism. Taking focused breaths will leave you feeling clean and comfortable.
