Healthy living is something most of us seek. Many of us already exercise and try to eat right, and that is a great start to healthier living. Here are three great tips that will take you to a new level of healthy.
Take Your Vitamins
Every day you should take a multivitamin and mineral supplement. Eating health is essential but we don’t always get everything we need from our foods, and so taking a daily multivitamin makes up for missing nutrients. Research has shown that when you use good quality nutritional supplements it can help you in achieving optimal health.
A recent study by Wyeth Consumer Health found that older adults taking a daily multivitamin was an inexpensive but powerful way to stay healthy. The group also studied how taking a multivitamins affected five diseases: diabetes, coronary artery disease, prostate cancer, osteoporosis, and colorectal cancer.
The researchers estimated that giving daily multivitamin to the elderly potentially saves health care cost of approximately $1.6 billion in a five year period, as well as avoidable hospitalization for heart attacks of approximately $2.4 billion.
Take Time to Connect With Others
We are social beings by our very nature. We create families, nurture our young, and identify ourselves with social groups we are part of. Connection with others and forming important bonds of communication, spiritual health, intimacy, and emotional well being are as important as eating a healthy diet, when it comes to nourishing our bodies.
The world we live in connects us in so many different ways at a technical level. However, the physical closeness we get with people in our day-to-day lives is actually diminishing. Many spend their days surrounded by people but little communication occurs, and many feel isolated.
Learn The Art of Small Talk
Little conversation starters bring us out of our self-imposed bubble and help you get connected with co-workers, family and business contacts for extended periods. A good small talk strengthens trust and helps everyone express their opinions. It is vital for interpersonal communication protocols and shows your ability to connect with people.
That’s just three great tips that many people are not aware of that can be a major role in improving your life and longevity. When it comes to your health, always think outside the box. While nutrition and exercise are two very important components to healthier living, there are many other things that can ensure you remain healthy now and for years to come.
Thank you.
