FREEBIE!!!! A little reminder that not everything healthy costs $$$. Here are two health tips that are actually FREE!
Movement!!! And no, I don't mean going to the gym and lifting heavy (though that is good too). I am talking about general movement. We have become a very sedentary society and our basic movement has declined drastically. In cultures that tend to walk everywhere (Europe and Africa, for instance) the rate of obesity is much lower. Just going for a 10-15 minute walk after meals, or getting up from your desk every 45-60 minutes and doing a set of stairs or a lap around the office adds benefits to your health. It supports digestion, relaxes your nervous system, boosts circulation and more!
Nature!!!! Being outside also brings many health benefits. One of the greatest gifts of the outdoors is natural light. Our bodies function and regulate on a circadian rhythm, which is based on getting light into our eyes. Being indoors all day is artificial light and actually disrupts our natural circadian rhythm. There is nothing better than daylight for our hormones, sleep, digestion, neurotransmitters and more. I'll share more in the future on the circadian rhythm.
If you are concerned that good health always eats away at your pocketbook, these are two free places to start....movement and nature!
