Everyone wants to look and feel better while living their lives. So, with a little understanding of how you and your body can work together to improve your health, you can help to build a whole new you in a matter of weeks. Here are some ideas on how to improve your health – the easy way.

1. Be Aware

It is not uncommon to feel down or blue for a few minutes every day as your hormones do their shuffle dance around your body. There can be a serious problem if you find yourself moody, irritable, or sad for more than a few moments, and if it occurs every day. If you want to sleep all the time (or not at all), don’t want to eat (or want to eat too much), and you aren’t interested in socializing with friends or family, you could be depressed. Be aware of how you feel, and if you believe you are depressed, seek help to get rid of the mood before it takes over your life.

2. Go Free

Stimulants are part of the modern world, and no matter where you turn, you will find someone selling alcohol, caffeine drinks, or drugs. If you want to know who you really are and how you truly feel, avoid stimulants of all types for a week, including coffee. If you decide to reintroduce the substances to your life, notice how you feel and then decide if there is a benefit.

3. Have Sex

One of the best ways to give your whole body a workout is by having sex. During climax, your heart forces blood to every cell in your body, and that is a good thing. The passion can also release mood-enhancing chemicals into your brain that can benefit your life for two or three days after the encounter. If you have ED or performance anxiety, there is a product that may be able to change your life – Mt. Everest. Give Nu Image Medical a call and see what they can do to help you.

4. Move Around

Yes, you have heard about the importance of exercise, but you probably didn’t know that getting up and moving around after 90 minutes of sitting can help your cardiovascular health, improve your circulation, and keep you from stiffening up with age. So, take the stairs when possible, park a little further away from the entrance, and get up frequently when you are sitting. Your heart, muscles, and flexibility will be glad you did.

5. Eat Colors

Although having sex is a great way to improve men's sexual health, you need to begin with a solid foundation to make sure your body is healthy enough to maintain the distance. To stay strong your whole life long, eat more colors of fruits, vegetables, and grains. Create new salads using green, red, or yellow leafy vegetables you have never tasted before. Don’t forget to add onions and garlic when appropriate to help clear your arteries and strengthen your heart.

6. Drink Water

Just like every other living organism on planet earth, your body requires water to maintain life. Although you may sip on a cup of coffee in the morning, down a caffeinated drink during the afternoon, and have a beer or glass of wine at night, your body needs more. Water is the source of life, and you need about two quarts a day. Without enough water, your body has to pick and choose which of your essential functions to cut back on, and that can have a devastating impact on your life skills.

7. Get Sleep

Although slumber is still a mystery, there is a general scientific consensus that your body needs sleep to remain strong, maintain mental health, and stay emotionally balanced. It is thought that sleep allows our body to rejuvenate and your brain to sort through the day’s activities. No matter why your body needs sleep, it is a fact that when you get enough rest, your mental faculties and physical abilities are restored – and that makes sleep worthwhile.

8. Engage Life

The tech revolution has brought about changes in almost every aspect of life for most humans. You may find yourself checking your phone, sending an email, or verifying the weather – even during a meal. If you want to improve the way you live your life, cut back on the intrusion that screen time can be. From television, computers, health watches, and telephones, the electronics can all draw you into a dark hole of inactivity and mental fogginess.

Most importantly of all, take time for yourself in this often-hectic world. Find your partner and take time to talk, cuddle, or laugh. Your health will thank you.
