Here are a few quick and simple healthy habits that you can easily incorporate into your lifestyle that will help you live a more healthy, productive, and happy life:
1. Stretch out: Remaining supple is essential for staying healthy. One reason children recover so quickly from injury and illness is because they are very flexible. We can lose this as we age, but only if we don’t stretch regularly.
2. Fruit & Nuts: Your daily diet should be varied and must include a rainbow-variety of fresh fruit and nuts, as they are packed with vitamins, essential fats, and minerals, in a natural and easily absorbed form.
3. Regular sleep: Your body heals and regenerates when you sleep. This is essential for your nervous system as well, and will help you function much better when you are awake.
4. Hug your loved ones: Without loving relationships, life is not as meaningful. Showing how much you care, will help you, your loved ones, and the health of all those involved.
5. Listen to your body: Your body is always sending you signals to help you through life. Rather than ignore or suppress these messages, listen to your body’s innate intelligence.
6. Walk more, sit less: With the increasing prevalence of cars and computers, we sit much more than our ancestors. It is no wonder that spine problems are more prevalent today than ever before.
7. Stay balanced: Maintaining your spinal balance, like these other healthy habits, also optimizes the way your brain and nervous system function, making you more healthy and effective. Life is much easier when you function better.
