70% of the population considers their health status to be good, but about 53% consider their weight to be too high. The review of lifestyle habits, among which rest is found, is really the first step for self-care. The peculiar rhythm of life of modern society forces us to follow unhealthy routines, which entails, among other factors, a higher risk of developing cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, cholesterol and hypertension. It is therefore necessary to review our way of life from time to time and to resolve the deficiencies that we can detect, enhancing the right habits. In the long term, we will certainly gain better health and a younger aspect.

Routines that take care of us

The fundamental pillars of a healthy life are:

Eating five meals a day a.Muchos studies have shown that people who eat fiber, dairy and protein for breakfast have better health and a lower tendency to fatten. For example, reducing fat and fat intake, avoiding heavy meals and limiting rations are the main tips or recommendations that can be given.

Exercise is compulsory. The cells of sedentary people are oxidized and oxidized, aging regularly before those of people with physical activity, with all the consequences that this entails.

Do not smoke. Of course it would be best not to smoke ever, but for those who have such a bad habit, the ideal would be to reduce the number of cigarettes as much as possible. The smoke emitted by cigarettes is also harmful, so it is important not to spend too much time in smoky environments.

A little wine a day. Drinking a glass of wine at main meals, i.e. at lunch and dinner, helps maintain good cardiovascular health, as long as all other habits and customs are appropriate. However, this benefit is lost if you drink more wine.

Rest is essential. Don't forget the importance of rest for your health. Try to sleep seven or eight hours a day, if possible consecutively. Lack of night rest can cause various organic disorders or worsen existing ones, affecting the nervous system and the ability to concentrate, impairing the immune system and increasing susceptibility to viruses. But careful, as some studies have shown, sleeping too much is also harmful. So, if you have trouble sleeping, after dinner, take some relaxing infusion (melissa or rattle, blessed herb, flower of passion...) whenever you can.

The sun to the right extent. Although it is not seen much now, we must not forget that the sun can damage health if taken excessively. Ten minutes in the sun a day is enough to balance the body, raise our mood, which is a bit low at this time of the year, and synthesize all the vitamin D needed for bone health. Prolonged exposure to sun rays, however, will significantly harm our body, especially the skin.
