The Three Fundamentals for Good Health

Everyone wants good health, and you may not realize that it’s the little things that can make the most impact to get the health you want. Here today will be three fundamentals to get you stated!

#1 - Food:

Food is probably one of the most important things for your health, and even if you eat healthy, there can be some habits or symptoms that can be stopping you from having maximum health. If you see that a certain food is not being digested three hours after eating it that means your body is having a hard time digesting it. What you can do is reduce how much you eat, and if nothing changes, and your body still cannot handle it, you need to remove it from your diet.  You can also experiment with different types of foods; you get to see what leaves you feeling heavy, and what leave you feeling light. By making sure that at least 50% of what you eat is fresh fruits and vegetables, will feel lightness in your body. Also, if you eat late at night, wait at least three hours after that to go to bed. The reason why is to let your body properly digest the food, and not have the stomach put pressure on other organs as you move around at night in your sleep. If you are 30 and over, and wants to cleanse the body to maintain a healthy life, what you can do is wait 5 to 6 hours before you eat again, and your body cleanses itself on the cellular level by doing that.

#2 - Stretching:

Simple but powerful, stretching each day just by bending forward, bending backward, twisting to both sides and squat- will allow you to give your spinal column the stretch it need, and keep the neurological system healthy as well.

#3 - Rest (not too much):

The amount one needs to rest is different from person to person because of different criteria’s.  One thing you need to know is that when you feel like your body needs rest, it does not always mean sleep. By sitting, standing, every moment of your life, you can be in a state or rest. You can get that state of calm (rest) by taking a deep breath inward through your nose, and exhaling out slowly by your mouth, until you achieve the state you desire to be in.
