Improved health and wellness goals

Almost everybody understands the needs for improved health and wellness. But sometimes, it always a difficult task to take due to some circumstances. In this case, setting up a goal and working towards achieving it is the biggest step you can take to enjoy health and wellness to the fullest. In this article today, we will explain methods in which you can set your goals and achieve it.

The desire to make a positive change for a better health is the number one step to take if you want to set up your goals. This yearning needs to come from within you, should be something you always dream of, something you can’t do without thinking about; don’t let it be based on fear. This desire to achieve improved health and wellness will produce a motivation needed to make positive changes.

Another thing to consider is believing you can achieve improved health and wellness; anything we want to lay our hands on, without believing, we have a low chances of achieving it. If you setup goals and you don’t believe you can achieve it, failure is closer to you.

To set your goals to achieve improved health and wellness, these are some useful tips:-

1. Think

Start thinking about your goals; consider the good side, the bad side (the challenges). In order for you to move ahead, the good side needs to outweigh the bad side.

2. Ask yourself some questions

After thinking about the pros and cons of your goals, you need to ask yourself some questions like; Am I really ready to achieve this? Will I be available to achieve this? This is not an easy question to answer but check yourself very well and make sure your answer is YES before moving to the next step.

3. Write down your goals in a paper

Writing your goals in paper makes them more genuine. When writing your goals in paper, make sure you’re specific about your goals; what you will like to achieve, how you will achieve it, and how your goal will change your life positively. After thinking and writing down your goals in paper, place them in an important zone you can always remember. When you see this paper every day, it will actually give you a motivation you need daily.

4. Create a deadline 

Create a deadline for your goal; create a deadline on when to start, create a deadline on when to stop.
Avoid procrastination: This is another factor that stops many people from achieving their goals. Always avoid procrastination when planning on how to execute your goals, especially those to do with improved health and wellness.

5. Track Changes 

When you start executing your goals, make sure you track your changes; check how far you’ve gone and achieve, check how many days, weeks or months you need to fully achieve this. Never neglect to track any changes around you.

6. Acknowledge your achievements

When everything is falling in the good side, don’t refuse to acknowledge and celebrate your achievements. This is also a part of motivation.

Just know something today; As far as you believe you can do it, you can achieve it! Take the first steps today to setting your realistic goals for achieving improved health and wellness.

Take stock of what is most important to you in your life and what makes you the most happy. Too often in the western world there is much focus on amassing material wealth as being the most important thing in life. However striving for material gains at the expense of everything else can bring severe imbalance into your life and can certainly cause a lot of stress and depression if your expectations are too high. The right balance in all aspects of you life is what is important to achieve harmony, health and wellness.

CONCLUSION

As you can see from the above the steps that you need to take to achieve balance and harmony in life  for health and wellness are quite easy to follow. I hope that you have enjoyed reading it and I would welcome any comments.

6. Take sensible precautions to avoid food poisoning

It is an undeniable fact that the warm temperatures in the Summer months is a health danger to eating foods left unrefrigerated as the warmer weather gives bacteria more opportunity to contaminate food. When considering having a BBQ lunch outdoors pack food straight from the fridge with plenty of  ice or ice packs.

 

7. Drink alcohol responsibly

The hot Summer weather when associated with social gatherings will often mean that people will drink far more alcohol in the forms of wine and beer than at other times of the year. Whilst there is no harm in drinking a glass or two in the company of friends and family excessive consumption will not only cause alcoholic poisoning but will be a danger to the drinker and others if driving a vehicle afterwards.

Take every chance you can to be active, even if it’s only for a few minutes a day. You could try a few simple exercises while waiting for the kettle to boil or watching TV. You can even include the mopping or vacuuming towards your 30 minutes a day. If it is too hot, cold or raining, walk in an air-conditioned shopping center with a friend. No need for complicated exercise routines to achieve the benefits of physical activity. Just be active in normal day activities!

 

IMPORTANT THINGS TO REMEMBER ABOUT HEALTH AND WELLNESS EXERCISES.

Most importantly you should always see your medical adviser before you begin a new fitness program. Try to be active every day in as many ways as possible, doing a range of activities that include fitness, strength, flexibility and balance.

 

TIPS FOR SUCCESS

If you can’t do 30 minutes now, start with 10 minutes once or twice a week. After 2 weeks, make it 15 minutes twice a day and you will have reached your goal of 30 minutes a day.

  • Do some stretching exercises after your activity to help avoid muscle soreness and injury.
  • Wear loose clothes and supportive shoes. This will make your activity safer and more enjoyable.
  • Remember to drink lots of water before, during and after your activity.
  • The old saying of “no pain, no gain” is not true. If you feel any pain, slow down or stop.

Thyroid gland improved functioning through proper nutrition

Many people these days are concerned about their their health and wellness especially when they experience low fitness levels and are generally unaware of how important the thyroid gland is in regulating body metabolism.

healthThe butterfly-shaped thyroid gland, located on both sides of the base of the neck, produces the thyroid hormone T3.

These hormones are thought to affect practically all the cells in the body and the effects of T3 include the stimulation of metabolism, growth and development. This means that the body’s energy levels, temperature and the proper function of all its organs and tissues depend on normal T3 function.

Environmental factors and the poor quality of the food we eat, especially when a diet consists largely of processed foods, causes the thyroid gland to dysfunction, adversely affecting the body’s metabolism. The trouble is that overly processed foods are lacking in the nutrients important for optimizing your T3 levels, proper thyroid function and general health.

Here are the 3 best ways to increase T3 levels…according to a well known nutrition expert:-

1. Eat enough calories.

When people go low cal, they often drop their calories way too low. When your body doesn’t think it’s getting enough food, it lowers its metabolism in order to more efficiently use the food it’s receiving.

So, if you cut calories too much, you actually condition your body to hold on to body fat for “survival.” Make sure you consume enough calories – no less than 1200 for women and at least 1800 for men (though for most, 1600 and 2100 are more appropriate minimums).

2. Eat a healthy, well-balanced diet.

In addition to getting enough calories, make sure the foods you choose are rich in nutrients. The efficiency of T3 is impaired if you aren’t feeding your body what it needs to produce it. Selenium, Iodine, and Zinc are required for the production of T3.

health

Selenium is a trace mineral that is used by the thyroid to produce T3. Foods rich in dietary selenium include: nuts, seeds, meat, oats, and most all seafood.

Iodine is also a trace mineral that is required for T3 production. Food containing iodine include: shellfish, beans, sesame seeds, seafood, spinach, seaweed or kelp, and squash.

Zinc is another trace mineral that is needed for endocrine glands to signal to the thyroid to produce T3. Zinc is in these foods: crab, dairy, chicken, turkey, nuts, beef, and beans.

3. Take a whole-foods based multi-vitamin and mineral supplement.

If you have trouble getting Selenium, Iodine, and Zinc from food, a multi-vitamin and mineral supplement would be beneficial. Look for a supplement that has 50 mcg of Selenium, 150 mcg of Iodine, and 11 mg of Zinc.

Great advice which should enable you to increase fitness levels and contribute to your overall health and wellness
