January 2016 is coming to an end… how are those New Year’s resolutions coming along? If you’ve been trying to make the big shift to holistic health instead of symptom-numbing pharmaceuticals, you might want to start at a pace you can handle. Check out the 4 reasons why to start, and where!
Start small: Train for holistic health, don’t force holistic health.
What pace is good to start at? Well, to put it simply, you need to start walking.
That’s right, just start walking more. Walking is an iconic metaphysical activity of mankind. It connects us to our truest roots by clearing our head and keeping our bodily functions running like they’re supposed to. If there is one physical activity you should do until you die, it is walking.
Want to feel better, have more energy and live longer?
From boosting your mood to improving your sex life. Exercise is the key!
The benefits of regular exercise are lasting and hard to ignore, regardless of your age, ex or physical activity. Need more convincing evidence? Check out these 4 ways in which exercise can improve your life.
- Exercise adds a spark to your sex life
Regular physical activity can leave you feeling energized and looking better. But there’s more to it than that. It can lead to enhanced arousal for women. And men who exercise regularly are less likely to have problems with erectile dysfunction than are men who don’t exercise.
- Exercise improves your mood
Physical activity stimulates various brain chemicals that may leave you feeling happier and more relaxed. You may also feel better about your appearance and yourself when you regularly exercise, which can boost your confidence and improve your self-esteem.
- Exercise promotes better sleep
Regular physical activity can help you fall asleep faster and deepen your sleep.
- Exercise combats diseases
Regular physical activity can help you prevent or manage a broad range of health problems and concerns, including stroke, metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, depression, certain types of cancer, arthritis and falls
SERIOUSLY. JUST. WALK.
Every accomplishment starts with the decision to try. But, what if you feel too busy to work out? Just walk. Breathe deep, stretch, sprint, smile, laugh, and drink water while you walk. Your body will tell you what to do next.
You don’t need to set aside large amounts of time for walking. If you can’t do an actual workout, get more active throughout the day by taking the stairs instead of the elevator or walking your dog. When is the best time to exercise? Early in the morning or after 5 pm according to our circadian rhythm. What is the best time for YOU to start exercising? Whenever fits your schedule best.
Drink a tall glass of lemon water upon awakening and go for a 30 minute – 1-hour walk outside.
