Top 6 Ways to Improve Your Health at Home

This recite has been iterated and reiterated since time immemorial, however, a realistic, vital and true depiction of the importance of health has been highlighted in recent times, yet again. This pandemic bought a wave of ailments, infections, infirmities, and enlightenment. The essence and importance of good health have been brought to light once again.

The novel Coronavirus has acquainted us with many illnesses- both physical and mental. Also, the new culture of social distancing and stay-at-home has fuelled us to remedy our worries amidst the four walls of our humble abode. Hence, we present to you the top 6 ways to improve your health at home.

1.Healthy Eating Habits

Go Green!

This does not only apply to our environment but our diets as well!

Remember, what goes inside, reflects what's outside. Developing healthy eating habits, consuming a balanced diet, resuming responsibility for a dietary routine, and being responsible for your green regime can make all the difference in the world.

A frequent intake of junk foods, carbohydrates, fats, and oil-rich daily bread can cause several ailments ranging from an upset stomach and constipation to strokes, heart diseases, and diabetes.

Thus, make sure that you consume every essential protein, vitamin, and mineral in portions equally proportional to your body's requirement.

2.Regular Exercise

To no surprise, the activity level measure at the end of the adolescent period has been found to be hauntingly low. By the age of 19, these measures are compatible and comparable with those of a60-year-old. Again, not very surprising!

Getting your body to go through the huff-and-puff of exercising is not appealing at all, we know. But trust me on this, having to go through the huff-and-puff of exhaustion and incapacitated organs at 60 is much much worse.

Getting rid of the tough grasp that the couch has on us is tough, but trying to get rid of the hospital bed, later on, is going to be terrible. Exercising and working out in a way, any way can help you evade heart diseases, strokes, colon cancer, and much more!

It is also a great way to address and treat depression and high blood pressure. With the online world at our fingertips, you can also look forgym equipment online and set up a gym at home.

Just get Up and Get Going!

3.Turn into a Teetotaller

A teetotaller is a person who completely abstains from the consumption of alcohol. While we are not pointing towards the complete elimination of alcohol from our lives, keeping a check on the level of consumption is extremely important!

Another brutal addiction is that of smoking! Even if it isn't an addiction, it can leave distressing effects upon your family and the one's around you.

The line between controlled regular consumption and uncontrolled fatal addiction is very fine and takes little to no time to blur out.

Rehab is hard, Recovery is harder, but Regret is the hardest. Another set of 3 R's you should live by!

4.De-stress

Self-care is rare, but it's there;

Follow it and your life will be a happy affair!

Often, we find ourselves in a situation where life feels like a race with you in the second-last position with your mental health behind.

Here's a little piece of advice for you- your life is a journey, your journey. You love on your own terms and laugh on your terms. So why not live on your own terms?

Do a mask, read a book, binge-watch a series, groove to your favorite music, practice meditation, catch up with an old friend, spend time with your family, run a movie marathon, take a warm bubble bath or simply just go to sleep. Do it for your own sake!

5.Take the stairs

There's always an easy way and a right way. The push of an elevator button is easy, but the journey up some flights of stairs is exhilarating!

Choosing the stairs helps you remain active, stay in shape, and one day, possibly help you outrun a burglar.

6.Seal the Sugar and Salt Sprinkler

It's high time that you put away the sugar container from near the counter and the salt sprinkler on the table. Out of sight, out of mind, remember?

Excessive sugar intake is the main cause behind fatty liver diseases, diabetes, high blood pressure, weight gain, etc., whereas, extra salt intake results in high blood pressure, stomach cancer, kidney stones, and heart failures.

Over to you…

Happiness is Homemade, and now, Health is too. With these simple steps, take care of your health right at your home!

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
