Some easy ways to keep well

Heard about this funny connection between the advent of electricity and stress? Before there was electrical lighting, people actually slept (on an average) ten hours a night. These days we barely average seven hours and, as a result, we are terribly sleep-deprived. Sleep-deprived brains make mistakes. Studies show that if you shortchange your night’s sleep by an hour and a half, you can lose as much as one third of your alertness the next day. And contrary to popular belief, lost sleep cannot be made up for! A nap can definitely improve your mood and your mental sharpness. But all of us do not have the convenience of taking a nap regularly! So we are back to square one.

Sleep is a major ingredient of being well. However there are other forces at play, definitely diet and nutrition being the most important. But there are some small things, or should we say, activities that help to keep us well, in body, mind and spirit.

Ignore the elevator. Take the stairs
Yes, you have heard this one before! The advantages of regularly walking up several flights of stairs are considerable. Muscles can become noticeably toned in a matter of days. Eventually, heart and lungs strengthen and resting heart rate lowers. Do not be afraid to get a little bit tired. It goes away faster with every flight.

Smile, it does not cost anything!
A smile can subtract years from your face and say more about you than hours of conversation. Smiling can also tone three groups of facial muscles, and firm, supple muscles make for a healthier complexion. Smiling can stimulate glands, hair follicles and blood, all of which nourish and revitalize your skin. And a smile is a wonderful thing to behold. Be generous with your smiles! Smiling is contagious so you will do others a healthy favour.

Get that skipping rope off the hook
Skipping elevates your heart rate, gets your blood pumping and does wonders for your metabolism. Plus, it gets you where you are going faster. It has a magical way of putting a smile on your face, too. Remember when you were a child and you skipped when you were feeling happy? That really does not change with age. In addition, athletes often use skipping to boost muscle strength and endurance. If a thirty-minute walk lowers tension and anxiety, just think what a thirty-minute skip can do!

Do something unusual: Do Nothing
Just sit and be alone, in total quiet. Turn off the television and/or radio. Ignore the telephone. Do not try to solve anything. Do not make plans for anything. Just let your mind go blank and your body go limp. Become reacquainted with that still, silent place that is your essence. Visit this remarkable place as often as you like. Stay as long as you can. Few activities are more refreshing than this!

Communicate with a friend
Share your thoughts and feelings with a friend and you will start a fulfilling connection with better health. The simple act of writing a letter can be inspiring and uplifting, plus it helps you organize your thoughts, which leads to action. What better way to reconnect with someone you care about? So boost your spirits and give a loved one the joy of finding a hand written letter in the mailbox for a change. In this ‘email’ world, this would be a refreshing change!

Get onto the wheels
Indoors on a stationary bike or outdoors, cycling can be one of the best aerobic exercises there is. A thirty-minute ride helps condition heart muscle, lower blood pressure and boost levels of healthy HDL cholesterol. And do not forget to warm up and cool down by stretching, walking with your bike or pedaling slowly.

Laugh a lot
Laughter triggers the release of endorphins, those chemicals in the brain that induce feelings of euphoria. A good giggle can also suppress the production of cortisol, a hormone released when you are under stress and one that can influence blood pressure, causing your body to retain salt. Laughter is legal, moral and non-fattening. Laughter, and better yet a good giggle, is also contagious, and engaging in laughter frequently will contribute to a happier world around you.

Make something
Create, or draw a picture, redecorate a room, make a flower arrangement, write a poem, cook a meal, bake some cookies - the genuine feeling of accomplishment you get from creating something can be a great secret of health and longevity.
