Table of Contents:

At present, the awareness of integral well-being has been established as a basic requirement to lead a productive life both individually and professionally. The number of people who are deeply involved in seeking new holistic sports or reflective practices, as well as food options with substantial health benefits, is so high that an industry has already been established around them with alternative initiatives that can help us achieve physical and mental fulfillment from different areas.

Positive change only requires commitment, since by modifying small aspects of our lifestyle we can obtain multiple benefits for the body. Therefore, we share these 5 tips that will help you lead a healthier life and optimize your physical and mental performance in all your activities.

1. Reduce the consumption of alcohol and tobacco.
The reduction in the consumption of these two substances is elementary, since they are two problems linked to numerous physical and psychological health disorders, in addition to being considered the main triggers of cardiovascular diseases and other chronic degenerative diseases such as liver cirrhosis.

2. Adopt a Mediterranean diet
This type of diet has become famous because it is low in saturated fat, offers a great balance of omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids, as well as being rich in antioxidants and fiber. And we can add a plus, it is very low in animal protein. 

3. Learn new things 
Maintaining our mental and emotional stability is also a task that must occupy us. An effective way to do this is to get involved in challenging new projects, such as learning a language or taking a course to acquire new professional knowledge. Leaving our comfort zone to reach new goals will keep us motivated and away from certain depressive behaviors. Remember that a healthy mind leads to a healthy body.

4. Get adequate sleep
Sleeping between 7 and 8 hours a day not only offers us the necessary energy to continue waking activities, it also improves memory, since neural connections are strengthened when sleeping. Adequate sleep also facilitates the production of melatonin and serotonin, hormones that counteract the effects of stress hormones (adrenaline and cortisol).

5. Spirituality and health

Physical activities that stimulate spirituality and contact with our inner self, such as yoga or Tai chi, have gained wide recognition as essential tools for a comprehensive improvement of health. These types of exercises are examples of a practical application of philosophical principles that lead to greater personal knowledge and greater emotional stability, while physically helping to restore the elasticity and firmness of the body, as well as improve the ability to coordinate, balance and concentration.

Performance in our daily life is relative to our general state of health, therefore, making early decisions to improve our routines is something that you should not leave for tomorrow.
