Healthy Habits

Some random healthy habits to share:



1) Sleep



Sleeping from 11pm to 6am and from 1am to 8am both gives you 7 hours of sleep, but when you performed the former, you would end up more refreshed then when you did the latter. That is because our body goes into "repair" in the time frame between 11pm to 3am, so it is vital to sleep before this timing to ensure good health.



If you can't get to sleep, refrain from watching the television as it would cause stress to your eyes and mind. Instead, do some reading. It will bore you to sleep more effectively.



Avoid placing electrical appliances in your bedroom because it would create electromagnetic disturbance to your sleep.



For a healthy individual, he would wake up feeling refreshed. And vice versa.



2) Hydration



Avoid drinking mineral water and pure water. Mineral water contains metallic ions which could precipitate into carcinogenic substances in the body. Pure water has no minerals, thus via the process of diffusion, minerals from the body would instead diffuse into pure water and be flushed out of the body. Pure water cannot sustain the lives of aquarium fishes and plants. Do you think it is healthy for consumption?



Drink 1.5 litres of water every morning. Let the water trickle down the throat to maximise absorption. If you can't take in that amount of water, there is an indication that the body already has some problems.



3) Exercising



There is increasing cases of lung cancer and it predominates over other types of cancer. It is because harmful substances that are eaten by the individual can leave the body via excretion but the air that one breathes in can't. The harmful substances breathed into the body can only be removed when the body sweats -- during excercising.
