10 Ways to Maximize Your Body's Life Span
Your body is a precious house in which amazing unimaginable things do take place.It is in your body that a brain is carried that thinks thoughts to build a destiny and a future.It is within the body that food is processed, nutrients absorbed and toxins thrown out of the body.The same unit comprises many systems that work together to keep it busy and alive Such systems as the blood circulatory system, digestive system, respiratory system, excretory system, neurological system to name a few.All these systems feed from each other to make the body as lively as possible.The collapse of one system affects all the other systems and eventually the body may deteriorate and die.The difference between those who live to over 100 and those who can barely cross over the age of 35 is sometimes in how bodies are taken care of.I have spoken to a number of people who are over seventy and yet look very young in terms of how they do it.I realized there is no magic about it.It is all straight forward and to the point.If you take care of the body you have, it has capacity to take care of your well-being.Their simple answers - not in order of importance.1.Exercise is key - the body requires exercise daily.A lot of people eat and sleep hence they gain so much weight.Exercise helps to burn that accumulation of fat leaving the body healthy and the heart operating at optimum levels.Sometimes walking and jogging daily are recommended to keep the body fit.You can live longer this way.Always sitting in your car is convenient but not good for your health.It makes your body so lethargic and not alert and ready for anything.Find a way to exercise each day.We live in a very convenient world where we have escalators to take us through high rise buildings, cars take us to places faster.This is all good but the body needs time to work out and revitalize.2.Bath regularly - Bathing is not an option for those who like looking good.Indeed it makes you refresh and look good but in the same process you remove excess oils from the body, you remove dead cells which accumulate on the surface of the body and all the germs that come in the sweat.Bathing prevents the onset of disease.It is easy to be sick if you do not enjoy fellowship with water.The bare minimum is to bath once a day but two would be best, in the morning before your meet the public in your busy life and in the evening before you retire to bed.3.Oil your body - Lotion help close the pores on the body surface after bathing.This prevents the unnecessary loss of water from the body.Also the skin problem that including cracking etc are prevented with the application of oils to the body.There are some facial lotions that have sun protection in them to allow your face not to be burnt by the direct sun.This is important.There is also nothing wrong in applying face lifts when aging begins to show on your face.It helps a lot.4.Drink lots of water - Water is an essential element of one's health.The body is predominantly water and yet some people take days to drink water.The recommended water requirements is 3 glasses of water a day.I would say that instead of taking these glasses all at once, you space them out.Drinking gallons of water at once will stress out the kidneys and excretory system unnecessarily.You can only absorb so much water.The bulk of conditions or diseases people face is because there is not much water in the system.Avoid cholera by taking clean water or distill or boil the water you have if you are not sure of the source.You have to be jealous of your body.Carry a bottle of water wherever you go as a reminder.When you are thirsty it is not time for a soda, it is actually time for water.5.Shave, shave, shave - The body must look good.You look and feel old when you keep unnecessary hair all over your body.You can shave hair on your head or keep it clean as well as armpits and close to your private sections of the body.This keeps your feeling healthy and refreshed hence in your mind you are renewed.Sometimes people look old because of the thoughts of age which are created out of the image they carry.6.Clothe the body - You body needs clothes to protect it from heat and cold.Some bodies suffer in the hands of "being fashionable".Cover all the essential elements of your body and avoid people feeling either sorry or angry about how you dress.Consider always how you want people to treat you.Consider more-so the male counterparts who I must say get affected by what they see.I have heard of numerous rape cases that happen all over the world because a woman was not even dressed as she walked in the streets.Now I am not saying men must be loose in their minds but you increase your risk of corrupting your own body by dressing in a funny way in the name of creativity.There is a time and place for creative dressing.It must be underscored however that no matter how young your face may look, your clothes may make you feel and look older.7.Eat nutritious healthy foods - This is by far the best way to live longer.You are what you eat actually.Certain foods that our bodies may crave for are the ones that shorten our life spans.Deep fried items like chips or "fries", burgers and so on are foods prepared in a hurry and sometimes not careful thought is put into the harmful effects of each food item.I am not downplaying fast foods but natural foods are better.If you always eat junk good, obesity is not far from you and disease is looming, waiting to attack your body.Watch everything that you present to your digestive system closely.8.Take time to rest a lot - This is the best treat your body deserves each day.Sleep a minimum of 6 hours a day.I rarely do this and I know there is a time I need to rest more.Sometimes I push myself all night, working so hard.When this particular sentence was typed it was early in the morning after not have slept properly.I know I must speak about what I practice, it is not good and I know that but I unnecessarily subject myself to pressure sometimes as I work best and produce more under pressure than in a relaxed state.Take your family on holiday, away from a busy productive life.When you return you will be even more productive.9.Boost your immune system - Certain foods and pills that you take can help boost your immune system to be able to fight diseases.This is linked so much to food but I felt it needed to be said separately.You can take additional minerals and vitamin supplements which are not necessarily food or medication but pills that boost your body's levels of the two.Supplements prevent the common flues and other minor diseases that your body can be subjected to.Your body is made in a way that it fights every kind of disease.10.Visit a specialist regularly - A visit to the doctor for checkups is important.You are not enriching the doctor but taking care of your own body.Where you see your body failing to fight disease, please take it to a specialist who can give you advice on what to take in order to supplement your immune system.You regularly take your car to your mechanic for checkup and service, just as well you need to schedule regular checkup and body maintenance.I know the recommendation to see a dentist twice a year.Visit your general doctor for checkups at least once a year even though you feel healthy and increase that if you have a chronic illness.You can live so much longer.
