The 3 Greatest Health & Wellness Tips
You will Ever Learn

One of the best health & wellness tips you could ever learn is to listen to your body. Unless your body has become addicted to a substance, it will always tell you exactly what you need to stay healthy and well.

For instance, are you feeling tired? Instead of drinking another espresso to stay awake take a nap or meditate for 10 minutes. You will be refreshed instead of hyped up. You will actually accomplish more after your short nap than if you continued to work while dead tired.

Here are three of the best health & wellness tips you will ever learn:

1. What stops the rampage started the rampage. You have the munchies and are rummaging through the pantry looking for something to satisfy your craving. Take note. Whatever you finally hit on, what satisfies that craving is what is causing the rampage in the first place. That particular food is or contains a substance that your body is sensitive to. When you eat that substance your body sends out histamines and endorphins to counteract the sensitive reaction. This gives you a natural “high.” But after that high comes a crash and your body will crave what caused the high. Pay attention to what that could be. What are the ingredients? You may even want to write them down. Next time, take note again. What are the ingredients in common? Avoid them and see if the munchies end. You will not believe how good you will feel by avoiding that particular food.

2. Get plenty of sleep. You body needs a certain amount of sleep time every night. Try to avoid exposure to bright light after dark, your body produces melatonin to help you sleep, but melatonin production stops when you are exposed to light. If you are having trouble sleeping keep your bedroom dark, quiet and cool. If you feel like you have to, take a nap during the day. How much sleep should you get every night? Everyone is different, you body will tell you.

3. De-stressing is the most important thing you can do for your health. When you are under stress, your body doesn’t know the difference between: you can’t make the deadline or you are being chased by a lion. Hormones flood your system, your blood pressure increases, lots of things are going on. A little of this is good, especially if you are being chased by something dangerous, but constant stress will tear your body down fast. If you are tired or irritable, your body is stressed and is telling you to relax.
