7 Ways To Promote Good Health


Good health is more valuable than gold. With it, you can live life to the fullest, support those you love, and build on your personal dreams. Here are seven ways to promote good health.

1. Eat a balanced diet.
There are so many diet possibilities, from focused to downright faddish. The best way to contribute to overall optimal health is to eat a balanced range of foods, with the largest category being fruits and vegetables. Limit alcohol and meat consumption. Other key components are:
Legumes
Nuts
Whole grains

The key to eating well is moderation in food categories as well as amounts consumed.
2. Try supplements.
Quality supplements fill gaps your diet may leave. Sometimes it is difficult to get a healthy amount of certain nutrients from food alone. There are numerous options, including:
Herbs
Peptide therapy
Vitamins

Choose high-quality supplements, favoring organic options when they are available.


3. Protect your skin.
Repeated and prolonged exposure to the sun’s damaging rays can lead to premature skin aging and skin cancer. Both adults and children should use sunscreens of at least SPF 15. There are many cruelty-free, natural options available, including fragrance-free mineral formulas that are gentle on sensitive skin. Stay out of the sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. when sunlight is most intense. Wide-brimmed hats, long sleeves, and wrap-around sunglasses also help protect your delicate skin.
4. Take care of your teeth.
Oral health affects your body in general either positively or negatively. Be sure to brush at least twice daily, and floss your teeth at least once daily. Poor mouth health can lead to serious conditions such as stroke, heart disease, diabetes, and even premature births.
5. Go to sleep.
When you are asleep, your body has a chance to repair itself. Adequate sleep is vital for physical as well as mental health. Establish a relaxing evening routine, and try to go to bed about the same time every night. Turn electronic devices off at least 30 minutes before going to bed.
6. Exercise.
Humans are made to move. For optimal health, you need both muscle strengthening and aerobic activities to tone your cardiovascular system. If the thought of going to the gym and walking in place on a treadmill seems too hard to comprehend, remember that exercise comes in many forms. There are lots of ways to get active:
Skip rope
Dance
Swim
Swing a hula hoop
Mow the lawn manually
Play with animals

You do not have to dread exercising in order to get benefits. Use daily chores and activities for physical benefits.

7. Manage stress.
While you cannot avoid every tense situation, you can control how you counter them. Specific ways to relieve tension and stress include physical exercise and meditation. Also, learn to respond rather than blindly react. Pausing before acting gives you a buffer between high tension and peaceful navigation of difficult situations.
Creating a Healthy Life
The best way to promote good health is to build beneficial habits into your life. Make life-affirming activities part of your lifestyle if you want to keep nourishing habits naturally without burning out. For only a bit of effort to make the initial changes, the rewards are countless.

Baby First TV 'I Can Sign" First Words

Hey Neighbors! Here is a really neat gift idea for someone with a young child.  Here we have I Can Sign (First Words) from Baby First  TV.  Now, I am just going to share right here that we have friends who have taught two of their children to sign at a very young age.  And it works!  Their children could sign before they could talk. The Dvd will teach your child many useful words that will be used in day to day life.  Words like: eat, water, milk, cookie, ear, feet hands, kiss, sleep, book, mother, father, and many other words.  Each word is taught in a short video clip where they will see pictures of the word/item and people signing.  There is also a little character at the bottom corner of the video signing along.  The Dvd can be done on English or Spanish.  Also included on the Dvd are printable coloring pages that you can print off by inserting the Dvd into your computer.  Inside the cover of the Dvd case is a little booklet that covers some of the words you and your child

What To Do About Those Fuzzy Uninvited Guests In The Home

When we talk about pests in the home, the most common that we tend to deal with are the creepy-crawlies that find their way in. Ants, termites, and spiders, for instance. Occasionally though, you have a real chance of getting a much bigger, fuzzier unwanted guest in the home. What do you do about the fact your home is at risk of becoming a wildlife sanctuary for some truly unhealthy and even dangerous beasts? Picture by Alexas_Fotos Know the signs It doesn’t matter if you’re in a suburban home, a country cottage, or a fourth-floor apartment. Some animals can find their way just about anywhere. It’s worth knowing the signs of pest infestation so you can confirm it and act on it immediately. Spotting droppings, keeping an ear out for scratching, and looking for signs of nesting like shredded paper, scrunched leaves, and grass clippings around the home without explanation can help you start fighting back.
