I’ve been a stress-head most of my life. The constant stress of trying to achieve a little better, accomplish a little more has always weighed heavy on my shoulders. Recently I have discovered that I am at my best when I take better care of my physical body.
I have noticed that when I eat better, I have more energy and I am able to focus better. When I get better sleep, I have a tendency to be more effective when I work and whatever I accomplish has a tendency to be a better quality.
For example, I recently started eating whole-grain cereals for breakfast. In the past, I would drink a cup of coffee and maybe take a multi-vitamin. I’ve noticed that the complex carbohydrates and nutrients in the grains give me more energy and that has caused me to have a more positive outlook on life.
There are many things that you can do to improve your physical health and well-being. Here are a few tips to follow:
- Eat a healthy and balanced diet, consisting of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins.
- Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water throughout the day.
- Exercise regularly, aiming for at least 30 minutes of physical activity per day.
- Get enough sleep, aiming for 7-9 hours per night.
