Lifestyle practices that keep you healthy:
| Sit down at the same time each day for meals. Try it - you'll
be amazed! When you sit down and pay attention to what
you eat, you'll eat less. And eating meals at close to the
same time each day keeps important body functions like sleep,
menstruation, bowels (yup!), regular too. |
| Chew your food well - you'll eat less and enjoy it more (and
your stomach will thank you) |
| Do a body rub daily. After your bath or shower, take 10
minutes to gently rub your body with a warm washcloth. This
activates your circulation and promotes deep cleansing. |
| Fill the spaces you spend lots of time in like offices and
bedrooms with green plants - they are potent air purifiers |
| Walk every day - 30 minutes each day is all it takes. |
| And don't forget to sing happy songs, read uplifting books,
see funny movies - laughter is still the best medicine. Be
Happy! |
These lifestyle recommendations are based on the observations and
teachings of Denny Waxman.
