Spring is a time of new beginnings. It’s also a great time to adopt
some healthier choices when it comes to your lifestyle. Here are a
few tips that can help your mind, body and even your spirit recharge!
1. Get into gardening!
There are several reason why gardening is a healthy hobby. You can
burn approximately 250 to 350 calories an hour while gardening.
Not only do your use your muscles but also your creativity when you
create places for flowers, fruits, vegetables, and plants. You are
strengthening your mind, body and spirit when you garden!
2. Take a hike! According to the American Heart Association,
studies show that for every hour of walking, you could increase your
life expectancy by two hours. The group also found that physical
activity not only helps weight management, but it can also boost your
mental wellness, lower your blood pressure and enhance your immune
system. Simply walking for 30 minutes a day will improve your heart
health dramatically.
When you are spring cleaning... don't forget your health!
3. Say Goodbye! Clean out your medicine cabinets and get rid of
expired medicines and while you're at it, toss out that tube of mascara,
that concealer container, and any other makeup you've had so long
you can't remember when you bought it. This way, you'll be able to
minimize your risk of eye infections or bacteria-induced breakouts.
4. Get dirty! And let your kids get dirty, too. Getting dirty can be
exposure to common bacteria, and common bacteria are good for
you. When they routinely inhabit our bodies, they can produce vitamins
and proteins we need and help make our immune and gastrointestinal
systems work.
