When we say we want to improve our health, we usually mean something like working out more or eating more healthier food. But actually there is a lot more to do, not just going jogging twice a week and eat more vegetables. If you ever thought about changing your lifestyle or just simply become healthier, this article is for you. We gathered 20 health tips that can help you do it, but let\u2019s not forget that the first golden rule is being consistent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

#20 Try to travel more by bike<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you live in a small town or village, you probably go everywhere by foot, but if you live in a bigger city and tend to use public transportation or a car, you might want to change that and try to use your bike more. If you don\u2019t have one, it\u2019s smart to invest in it, because it\u2019s basically free and you also work out more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

#19 Sweet-toothed? No problem! Fruit smoothies for eveyone!<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you have a sweet-tooth and you just can\u2019t resist a sweet afternoon snack, try making fruit smoothies. They\u2019re not just tasty and appetizing, but they are full of vitamins as well. But be careful! Fruits contain a lot of sugar, but it sure is better than eating candy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

#18 Use the stairs<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Most people,\nif they can choose between stairs and a moving staircase, they usually choose\nthe latter. Try to use the stairs instead of escalators or elevators. A little\nmovement won\u2019t hurt, and there are probably less people on the stairs. Be an\nexample!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

#17 Eat more vegetables<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Beside the fact that this itself is not enough, eating more vegetables is really healthy. They contain a lot of essential minerals and vitamins that your body naturally needs and with eating them as a side dish, you can replace unhealthy foods like french fries or pasta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

#16 Keep yourself balanced<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Being\nhealthy is not just about being fit and looking good. Mental health is just as\nimportant as phisycal health and these two need to be balanced. If you neglect\none of them, the other one will stop improving as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

#15 Spend more time in nature<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Walking is a great way of working out if you are overweight, have some kind of musculoskeletal disease or you have limited time to spend on doing sports. The best is if you can do it in nature. It does not just fill up your body with energy, but your soul too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

#14 Read more<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Believe us\nor not, reading is actually very relaxing and meditative. It doesn\u2019t matter if\nyou like fantasy stories, scientifical books, biographies or anything else. The\nimportant part is reading something you like. It can swith off your mind a\nlittle and calms you down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

#13 Drink more water<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Do you drink\n3 liters of water every day? Because most people don\u2019t. We tend to drink just a\nfew glasses a day, or worse; forget to drink for hours, sometimes half a day.\nDehydration causes dry skin, vitamin deficiency, pallid hair and a lot of other\nunpleasant things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

#12 Detoxify<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Most of the detox diets are very tiring and unhealthy, but the basic concept is not bad at all. Sometimes it\u2019s really useful, especially if you just came home from a vacation\/festival, or it\u2019s just after the holidays and you ate a lot of unhealthy meals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

#11 Meditate<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We have already talked about mental health before. Meditating might sound like a little bit of a crazy idea, especially if you have never tried it before, but try to think of it as some kind of me-time. Only you and your mind, everything else is shut out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

#10 Eat more fruits<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Vegetables\nare great for dinner and fruits are great for breakfast. They are perfect as a\nday-starter, full of vitamins and energy. Yoghurt goes well with most of them,\nso you can start your morning with a big splash of protein and sweet vitamin\nbombs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

#9 Try yoga<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I know that\nthe idea of doing yoga might sound a little bit feminine, but actually it is\nreally hard. It needs a lot of patience, endurance and strength. If you would\nlike to try a sport that makes you fit and calms you at the same time, this is\nit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

#8 Spend time with your friends<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Active rest\nis a thing, and it\u2019s actually working. Spending time with your close friends\ncan make you feel way less stressful and your general mood will also improve,\nbecause face it; people are social creatures. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

#7 Make time for your hobbies<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Find\nsomething that you love to practie, just because you enjoy it. Not because it\u2019s\ncool, or it pays well, just for your own entertainment. From our hobbies, we\ncan learn a lot of useful skills that we can apply in other fields of our\nlives. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

#6 Avoid unnecessary medicine<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you are feeling down a little bit, or you have a headache, or maybe you just caught the cold, don\u2019t grab the medicine box immediately. If eating more vitamins, drinking tea and resting will do the job, don\u2019t take unnecessary medicine. Smaller diseases makes your immune system stronger. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

#5 Organize your day<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Keeping a daily schedule does not mean that you have more rules to follow, it\u2019s just a little help during the busy days. If you prioritize your \u201eto-do\u201d list thoughtfully, later it\u2019s easier to just focus on the effectuation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

#4 Stop measuring yourself<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"20

Everyone is different. Easy to say, hard to admit. The important thing is that try not to become better than someone else. Try to become better than your past self, because not everyone starts from the same situation with the same options. If you work hard, you will see the results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

#3 Spend time with your family<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Family is\nnot only about having dinner together or living in the same house. We know each\nother\u2019s mistakes and bad habits, but we still love each other and we can count\non each other any time. Make time for your loved ones and remember that you are\nnever alone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

#2 Try to buy organic food<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If your\ncountry sells its own agricultural products, try to buy organic and local food\ninstead of exported ones. This way you support your own city or country and\nthese products are usually free from chemicals, so they are healthier than the\nones on the shelves of the supermarkets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

#1 Build some self-confidence<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Trying new\nthings, achieving your dreams and experience success needs some confidence.\nWithout it, you have less chance to succeed. People usually tend to be more\nsuccessful if they really think that they can do what they made up their mind. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
