Health Is Wealth
Did you know that given a chance, the human body will heal by itself? For example, the lungs start rebuilding themselves a few months after quitting smoking, and the human body replaces itself at the cellular level every seven years. Keeping this in mind can open the doorway to endless possibilities to improve your overall health.
With the prevalent global health crisis COVID-19, our immunity has become very important. We live in a time when our health and wellness are crucial to thriving, and the stressors we encounter can manifest in our bodies. It is discussed 24/7, but the 'leaders' are falling short in discussing ways to help our body take care of itself. Health is a birthright, and it is vital to listen to what it needs and treat it like a temple.
What we ingest gives us fuel in our bodies. Your overall health can lead you to live a happy life. Incorporating movement, exercise, and healthy eating habits can give you the energy to be more productive and execute daily tasks and goals. It also can provide you with mental stability and clarity.
Acquiring a healthy diet and physical exercise routine should be simple enough, but many struggles to achieve such habits. Most of the time, it's an old story we tell ourselves or external stressors that causes us to procrastinate and say things such as "I will start next week or next month." However, taking a step back and asking yourself, "what can I do now at this very moment to better my health?" can be a stepping stone in the right direction.
Each day we are allowed to better ourselves by integrating fundamental changes and creating habits to nurture our bodies. And remember, moderation is essential to keep you in balance, and small changes can add to a big difference. Please find below a list of 9 simple tasks to improve your health and boost immunity.
