Self care is not just about bubble baths and me-time. That’s why we’re adding self care tips for physical health to your spring to do list. Do you feel as though you don’t quite take self-care as seriously as you should? If so then now is the time for you to do something about that. What are the five components of physical health. We’ll unpack.
Gut health is the new self care for nutrition. One of the first things that you need to do is take good care of your gut. Your gut will have a significant impact on your health and it will also contribute to your wellbeing and general feelings of vitality. The types of food you eat will really impact the bacteria that lives in your gut too. If you can, you need to try and make healthier choices. You also need to try and heal your gut, by avoiding foods that could potentially damage it. If you can do this then you will notice a huge improvement in your overall physical health.
Gut health foods include: Yogurt and all fermented foods like sauerkraut, kimchi, miso, cheese.
You also need to try and exercise on a regular basis. If you do not work out then you may find that you end up struggling with fatigue and that you also struggle with focus during the day. If you walk to work over taking the bus, great. Try to take the stairs over taking the elevator. You don’t need to sign up to the gym right away. There are so many alternatives to gym attendance.
Take daily walks, try tai chi or yoga. Chair yoga is great for people with mobility issues. Swim, bike, skate. Paddle board. Anything that gets you out of your chair works. There are tons of online exercise programs. Check it out.
This is the one thing that can save your life. To keep up with your health, see your doctors and dentists. If you don’t keep up with your regular doctor appointments then you may find that you end up missing potential health issues. Although you might not feel you have time to go to the doctor, you always have the time. It’s your most important self care item. If you don’t care for yourself, how can you care for loved ones.
Add the dentist to your self care list. If you don’t visit the dentist then you may end up getting cavities, which will be detrimental to your mental and physical health. It’s also worth looking into things like ozone therapy as well because this is a very effective way for you to get the oral care you need.
We can’t say this enough. Sleep is important at any age. Sleep is brain food; it’s rest time for every part of your body. It’s your recharge time, and everyone needs it. So what can you do to improve your sleep habits? Turn off your devices or TV for at least a half an hour before you go to bed. Reading can be very relaxing as long as you don’t read scary murder mysteries. Try doing some yoga or breathing exercises.
If you can’t get enough rest during the night, short naps during the day can help you catch up. This is a self help tip to take seriously.
We saved the fun part for last. Here are some ways to relax and enjoy and life seems too much to bear. Your physical health depends on having happy moments as well as a health routine for optimum wellness. That means seeing lovely things (flowers, food, nature, animals). You can find beauty everywhere.
Touching and wearing soft items and hugging pets and humans is an important part of relaxing and enjoying. Doing activities that bring joy. Do you love puzzles and games. We love gardening and baking and watching movies, laughing. You need to laugh so be sure to add comedy to your life. Listen to music that lifts your spirits. We could go on forever. Find joy in simple things.
