Getting The Best From Your Body
By Kim Beardsmore, Thu Dec 8th
The body automatically functions, and we automatically take itfor granted! We expect our body to keep going and not complain,however much we abuse it. But it does complain, with headaches,backache, indigestion, colds, skin rashes: just a few of theminor warnings. Whether you are running a home business, majorcorporation or a family if you relate to these 'mild' complaintsyou just may need to pay attention to protect your mostimportant asset: your health, your ability to think clearly andyour emotional strength. Without paying attention to keeping yourself well, you may slipinto more serious warnings of 'self-abuse' and progress toserious conditions like diabetes, heart disease and cancer. Afew simple changes can make all the difference to the long-termhealth of your body, the clarity of your thinking, the strengthof your emotional well-being and the long-term viability of yourself-propelled business! Food is fuel
What you eat and drink provides your body with the fuel to carryout all the physical and mental activities that get you througheach day, including breathing and blinking! Some foods, such asfruit and vegetables, provide excellent fuel, with lots ofbeneficial nutrients. Other foods provide the body with poorquality fuel laced with undesirable chemicals, such asover-processed junk foods. What percentage of your current dietis providing fuel-efficient, nutrient-rich food? Find out bykeeping a diary over the following week - jot down everythingyou eat and drink and then analyze your fuel source. The betteryour fuel source, the longer your life expectancy… …So improve your choice Choose meals and snacks that are kind to the body, i.e.naturally-produced and chemical free. Fresh (preferablyseasonal) fruit, vegetables and salads retain their nutritionalcontent - they are 'living' foods. Avoid foods that have beenover-processed, stored for too long or stored in contact withmetal or cling-film. You could class these as 'dead' foods, withlittle to offer nutritionally. Variety is also vital, helpingyou obtain the broad range of nutrients your body needs. Less is more Eating large meals puts a great strain on the digestive tract.Choose smaller, more frequent meals, which help keep your fueltank topped-up throughout the day. And never forget that themore you eat, the more your body has to either burn off or storeas fat. So eat to live - don't live to eat! Give your stomach a fair chance Slow down and enjoy your food. Chewing is essential - you haveteeth for a reason - to assist the digestive

process. Eatingfood quickly, or while stressed, disrupts digestion and theabsorption of nutrients. The 'how' and when' of eating is justas important as 'what' you eat. Life-giving water Nature's nectar. Your body is 70% water and it needs to be dailyreplenished with a fresh supply to ensure that body cells arehydrated and energized. Ideally, we need to consume two litresof water every day. Get active! You need just enough activity to keep all your moving parts ingood working order, lean and strong. Too much exercise uses upresources needed for normal growth, repair and maintenance, andcreates premature wear and tear on the joints and ligaments. So how much exercise are we talking about? Enjoy a good brisk walk in the fresh air everyday - or evenevery second day - swing your arms, hold your head high, fillyour lungs and lengthen your strike. Or, consider purchasing ahome fitness video. There are plenty to choose from, just makesure it incorporates a good stretching regime to avoid pullingor straining any muscles. The same applies to any team sports orgym work - warm-up first. The message is, yes, you need to useyour body to prevent it from 'getting rusty'. Relax! Proper 'quality time' should not be confused with time spentwatching endless television, or playing games on the computer.Energetic computer games and emotionally-charged TV soapsactivate the release of 'fight-or-flight' stress chemicals -hardly a form of relaxation. Switch the TV off and take time-outonce or twice a day for between 15-30 minute to rest yourthoughts, and your body, completely. Sit or lie comfortably,close your eyes, breathe deeply and slowly, perhaps listen torestful music, and drift into your mind's theatre of beautifullandscapes and memories. No interruptions, no demanding familyor friends, just you and your attention focused on health,happiness and abundance…that's quality time! Sleep We all need 6-8 hours quality sleep every night. Get to bedbefore midnight and start the day early and alert after arestful, refreshing sleep. Love makes everything workable For complete harmony ofmind, body and spirit, the final ingredient needed is a hugehelping of love. Surround yourself with people you love and wholove you!
