Proper food, exercise and sleep in the right proportion are the major factors that can lead to a good and healthy living. Here are some ingredients to good health.
Carbohydrate Balance In The Diet
Feeling fatigued and tired after your meals suggest that your food intake is inappropriate. You got to feel energized after your food and not tired. You got to check back on your diet. High carbohydrate diets are likely to make you feel sleepy. Sufficient servings of green leafy vegetables, sprouts and fruits are mandatory to make an energizing meal.
The secretion of sufficient digestive enzymes is naturally accomplished by the smell of the food and proper chewing of the food. When you do not chew your food properly, the body will miss on the natural signals required for the synthesis of the digestive enzymes.
Insufficient insulin secretion in the body is attributed in part to poor chewing habits. A simple strategy for effective induction of digestive enzyme secretion is to chew your food properly.
Drinking warm water alongside your meals is also likely to instill easy signals for digestive enzyme secretion and also several fatty acids will be easily broken down this way making way for effective digestion.
When basic digestion and absorption of nutrition in the body is getting along the right way, then that by itself solves most of the health issues. Including seasonal herbal teas to deal with seasonal ailments is another great way to general health. Of course, provide your digestive system with appropriate rest once in a while by healthy fasting regimes.
Importance of NREM Sleep
Feeling fatigued and tired after long hours of sleep suggests that your sleeping pattern was not refreshing enough. You perhaps failed to enjoy sufficient NREM sleep (dreamless sleep).
The self-recuperative powers of the body are in to action only in your NREM sleep. It is essential that you get at least 4 hours of NREM sleep; and, 4 hours of REM is okay in your 8 hours quota of sleep per day.
Disturbed sleep can never have you recuperate better for day next. The reasons for disturbed sleep are mainly related to the strains and stress of day to day lives. You got to just keep yourself learned on that worrying never gets things to be better.
It is impossible to walk all the roads of the world by yourself and it is impossible for you to solve all the troubles in the world. Forget them all and retire to an 8-hour sleep. Rest soothers and brightens your endocrine system, which is very essential for mental stability and problem solving approaches in life. When you sleep you will be fresh enough to solve the wrong loops. When you correct it you are automatically out of stress. So, the root need is mental rest = sleep.
Importance of Appropriate Work Out and Reserve Energy
Feeling fatigued after a work out suggests you have over-worked and abused the limits of exercising. Exercising heavily might leave you with lesser energy reserve for other activities in the day. So, exercise within limits.
It might be hectic or out of way for you to deal with the reflexology points (acupressure) in your body routinely. A good way will be to go for a regular comfortable walk and do a bit of physical cleaning of your apartment yourself. The pressure points in your legs and palms will be automatically touched upon when you work and walk and self-healing is therefore already initiated.
Above all avoid shallow breathing. Learn to breathe deep enough to relax and provide your body with sufficient oxygen.
