Spending time in the gym all the time or following a strict diet is all great, but for this we often have to limit ourselves in some way. Improving your health is not difficult at all, and there is no challenge in it, but it does require making small changes in your daily life.
All those little things that we do during the day may seem insignificant, but they all add up to a big result. Below are twenty-one ways you can improve your health every day.
1. Walk often.
If you sit in the office all day, get up and walk around as often as you can. Just make sure you don't get fired for it. If you sit at your desk or drive most of the day, make it a rule to take a short walk in the morning, evening or at lunchtime for at least 20 minutes.
2. Walk up the stairs.
Is your office on the second floor? Or maybe eighth? Walk up the stairs every day. Perhaps, having climbed to the eighth floor on foot, you can hardly breathe at first. But in a year, you will take off to the eighth floor, overtaking colleagues who are currently taking the elevator. Stairs are a great way to painlessly add a workout to your day without even hitting the gym next door.
3. Drink water.
You've heard this before, but it will never lose its relevance. Water works wonders. To stay healthy, you need to drink plenty of water every day. Try replacing unhealthy drinks with a glass of clean water when you feel thirsty. Carry a bottle of water with you wherever you go so you have no reason not to take a sip.
4. Have breakfast.
Yes, breakfast is truly the most important meal of the day. Even if you are not hungry, you should try to eat something. There is nothing useful from food in the house? Eat something! Breakfast is that meal when it is better to eat something unhealthy than nothing at all. However, oatmeal with blueberries, raisins and bananas is best. Take an apple or orange with you to work for a snack later after breakfast.
5. Stay in the sun.
The sun has all the healing properties. Yes, it can cause skin cancer, but I'm not saying that you have to go out naked and sunbathe for eight hours straight. Just go outside to catch a couple of sunbeams during your lunch break. Spend a day outside, for example, and take a walk in the forest along a well-known route.
6. Stretch every day.
Your muscles are like elastic bands. The less they stretch, the tighter and harder they become. Stretching improves blood flow and helps deliver nutrients to all parts of your body. Think about your normal body positions and stretch in opposite directions. If you sit a lot, then stand up and stretch your arms up above your head. After getting out of bed, spend at least two minutes stretching before heading to the shower. You don't have to do yoga. Just stretch to feel good.
7. Eat organic food.
It seems to go without saying, but it is absolutely vital to our health. Ecological products are useful. When we eat them, they make our body healthy. It's really that simple. Organic products are mostly unprocessed or produced by machinery: fruits, vegetables, nuts, cereals. Try to develop the habit of eating one apple a day. Keep a bag of nuts in your car and snack on the way home.
8. Watch your posture.
Everyone has their own posture, but there is such a thing as “correct posture”. Assess your posture. Do you slouch? Are you walking with your head down? Imagine that someone has tied a string to the back of your head and is pulling it (no, you are not going to be hung). Do the same with your posture: push your shoulders back, push your chest forward, stretch your neck and breathe. Try to watch your posture all day and correct yourself as soon as you notice.
9. Change your eating habits.
We all need to eat. By the time you are an adult, eating becomes a habit. However, small changes in your daily eating habits can have long-term effects on your health. Do you usually eat toast for breakfast? Try porridge with blueberries and bananas instead. Do you usually drink coffee with two creamers and four sugars? Try it with two servings of cream and one lump of sugar. Slowly change your eating habits in a healthier direction, and before you even know it, you'll feel much healthier.
10. Meditate.
This does not mean that you have to become a monk and spend the rest of your life in spiritual enlightenment. Gather your thoughts. Spend a couple of minutes calming your mind. Breathe deeply and relax your whole body. You can try this in the morning (before stretching) or before going to bed. Even a lunch break is fine.
11. Avoid the feeling of overeating.
The goal of a meal should not be to fill up. This is not a comfortable state, and it is unhealthy. If overeating is your usual feeling, just try eating slightly smaller portions. It's normal to feel a little hungry after eating. You won't die. The worst thing that will happen is a slight feeling of hunger before the next meal. Science has proven that there are many benefits to eating fewer calories, so try not to overeat - this does not mean that you have to practice fasting.
12. Treat physical discomforts like mini-workouts.
If you need to drag a heavy box into another room, consider it a mini-workout. If you can't find a suitable parking spot nearby and need to walk longer than usual, consider this a mini-cardio workout. Many physical inconveniences can be considered an opportunity to improve your health. Instead of complaining, think about how it makes you stronger and healthier.
13. Get enough sleep.
Our body needs sleep to recover and recharge. If you save on sleep, then your body will be in a more stressful state than it should be. Stress causes aging and chemical reactions that are harmful. Everyone has different sleep needs, but you'll know when you've gotten enough sleep. Go to bed a little earlier than usual. Try not to drink caffeinated drinks at least 5 hours before bed. Also, eating a lot of food and watching TV will prevent you from falling asleep quickly. Regular exercise will help you fall asleep earlier.
14. Go barefoot.
Your feet contain many nerve points associated with different parts of your body. Walking barefoot stimulates these points and improves blood circulation throughout the body. If you usually spend the day shod, try walking barefoot. If possible, walk around the office in just socks (just make sure they don't smell). The next time you go out to take out the trash, do it barefoot. Take your time, your feet can be overly sensitive due to the comfortable life in shoes.
15. Try something you've never tried before.
Our body and brain require stimulation to stay healthy. If you're doing the same thing every day, or doing the same set of activities every weekend, you're seriously limiting your growth. Sign up for a martial arts class. Attend a yoga class. Try trail running. Rent a mountain bike and explore the famous forest trails from a new angle. Listen to some new direction in music. Read a different type of book. Explore the street you walk on every day but have no idea where it leads.
16. Move often.
Objects in motion stay in motion forever. If you want to be healthy, you need to move, both physically and mentally. Try to be as active as possible (again, both physically and mentally). Try not to sit in one place for more than one hour. Get up, walk, stretch, sit down, jump, whatever. Think of activity as life and inactivity as progressive death (again, both physically and mentally).
17. Do something relaxing.
Set aside time to relax as often as possible. It can mean anything: spending quality time with family, reading a book by the sea, going camping for the weekend, or just sitting outside and enjoying the moment. You should set aside time to relax every day, but even if the whole week is busy, stress can be relieved in a matter of hours on the weekend by doing something that relaxes you.
18. Breathe deeply.
Taking a deep breath supplies enough oxygen to the body, soothes the muscles and relieves stress. This is something you can do anytime, anywhere. During the day, try to take a deep breath as soon as you feel the first signs of fatigue. Fight stress with oxygen!
19. Laugh more often.
Just like taking deep breaths, laughter is a great stress reliever. Science has proven that laughter can even potentially physically heal the body. It is a pure expression of joy and happiness. Even if you have no one to laugh with, try it yourself. It's just great!
20. Watch children play.
Watching children play reminds us what it is like to live without worry and stress, to live carefree and enjoy the moment. We all have a child inside of us that never dies, and by watching children play, we allow our inner child to emerge. It allows us to rediscover the joy and beauty of every moment of life.
21. Think about the future.
The reason we want to be healthy is because we want to live without discomfort and pain. If we think in the short term, we don't see the value of improving health today. Ask yourself what you will think tomorrow or in a year about you today. Will that person look back with pride and admiration for the effort you put in to be healthy? The future starts today.
There are many ways to improve our health every day, but just reading about them is not enough. Choose a few of these ways, whether it's one way or twenty-one ways, and follow them in your daily life.

Health promotion is a process that gives people the opportunity to influence and improve their well-being, making all the necessary efforts to correct lifestyle to increase the level of physical and mental well-being.
Health Promotion Factors
A healthy lifestyle is the main factor in promoting health in modern conditions. Its principles are simple: get eight hours of sleep a day, keep your body in good shape, give up bad habits, and exercise regularly. There are a number of reasons that have a great impact on the possibility of changing lifestyles - personal, cultural, family, social. For example, people with long-term life prospects have stable social connections, are open and ready to listen to the opinions of others, are optimistic and have high self-esteem. They have more opportunities to make the necessary changes than people who do not have these qualities. Therefore, leading a healthy lifestyle means, first of all, changing your worldview and taking an active life position.
The environment serves as a secondary factor in promoting health. Natural conditions have a direct impact on human well-being. For a full existence, fresh air and clean water are needed. Even a few hours of outdoor activities will benefit the body, not to mention regular walking, jogging or swimming. Of course, there are problems associated with environmental pollution. But the solution of these problems can be carried out only with the introduction of a new socio-economic policy and a change in the attitude of man to the environment.
Health care is also one of the factors affecting the quality of human life. The complex of measures to improve the health of the population on the part of health care includes:
- Improvement of mass consumption products;
- Sanitary control over the cleanliness of the environment;
- Prohibition of smoking in public places;
- Conducting vaccinations and medical examinations;
- Provision of preventive health services.
Health Promotion System
You should always take care of your well-being. For this, a health promotion system was developed, aimed at changing and improving lifestyles. It consists of the following components:
- Preparation - collecting information about the new lifestyle, as well as examining the presence of risk factors (blood pressure, body weight, general physical condition);
- Setting goals and objectives - a clear statement of the desired result and the definition of means to achieve it, taking into account their real capabilities;
- Gradual change in habits - limiting adverse effects on the body is carried out sequentially, since an attempt to change several habits at the same time leads to failure;
- Strengthening motivation - encouraging success in the path of health promotion;
- Maintaining the incentive - creating the conditions necessary to consolidate the new behavior and help to establish itself in the principles of the right way of life;
- Social support - a positive attitude to the ongoing changes on the part of others;
- Relapse prevention is anticipating and avoiding situations that entail a temporary return to bad habits.
With this system of health promotion in mind, you should plan your daily routine, eat right, exercise and walk in the open air.
Health promotion methods
All health promotion methods are based on the principles of a rational lifestyle.
The daily routine is the basis of normal life. The correct mode provides high performance, protects the nervous system from overwork and increases the overall resistance of the body. It is necessary to maintain an optimal ratio of work and rest every day, as well as to reasonably distribute mental and physical stress. The daily routine includes:
- Eight hour sleep;
- Walking or exercising outdoors;
- Labor activity;
- Free time;
- food intake;
- Personal hygiene.
Motor activity is one of the most important components of the formation and promotion of health. A sedentary lifestyle affects the work of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems and leads to other adverse consequences. Metabolism worsens, blood stagnation occurs in the lower extremities, which leads to a decrease in the efficiency of the whole organism and especially the brain - attention and memory are weakened, coordination of movements is disturbed, and the time of mental operations increases. When choosing exercises, one should take into account not only their frequency and systematic nature, but also the initial state of the body. Walking, jogging, swimming, skiing, cycling, and flexibility exercises provide the best health benefits.
Rational nutrition is a physiologically complete and balanced menu of a healthy person, taking into account his gender, age, work activity and climatic conditions of residence. This method of health promotion is based on four principles:
The eradication of bad habits is a key method of promoting health. Smoking and alcoholism dramatically reduce life expectancy and are the cause of many chronic diseases. These are the strongest depressants and their use relieves psychological dissatisfaction only for a short time. Difficulties in quitting bad habits are associated with withdrawal syndrome. The body does not immediately restore the disturbed mechanisms for releasing dopamine, which is usually produced during positive experiences (pleasant sensations or eating tasty food). Therefore, giving up nicotine and alcohol, a person experiences depression and irritation. As soon as dopamine begins to be produced naturally, the short period of withdrawal syndrome ends.
All health promotion activities should be planned in consultation with a physician.

Steps
How to deal with stress
-
Doubt your inner critic. Being happy with yourself is very important for mental health. Worry and negative thoughts can bother you and keep you from feeling good. Self-doubt can torment you the most. The following exercises will help you calm your inner critic and calm your anxiety:
- If you catch yourself worrying and/or having negative thoughts about yourself, ask yourself some questions. For example, “Is this thought good for me?”, “Is this thought true?”, “Would I say this to another person?”. Answering these questions often helps reduce self-doubt.
- Change the negative thought to make it more true or good. For example, you might catch yourself thinking, “I can never do anything right.” Try to make it more truthful: “Sometimes I can do something wrong, but other times I do a very good job. I can’t do everything in the world and that’s okay, I’m proud of what I can do.”
-
Focus on your strengths. During difficult times, focus on those qualities of yourself that can help you cope with life's challenges.
Practice self-affirmation. Self-affirmation is an exercise in which you remind yourself of your worth by saying or writing down what you love about yourself. Regularly recognizing the qualities you love about yourself can greatly increase your self-esteem.
- This activity will be different for each person. Perhaps you already have some activities that help you cope with emotions.
- Talking to a friend, going for a walk, playing music, or other soothing activities such as taking a bubble bath are good examples.
-
Practice self-awareness. Be aware of your own emotional reactions to external events. Take time to reflect on your reactions to difficult situations.
- Instead of immediately reacting to negative events, try to mentally distance yourself to note your emotional reaction. Many people find it helpful, for example, to take a few deep breaths or count to ten before reacting.
- Think about how you feel without judgment. This will enable you to respond in a more thoughtful way rather than impulsively.
- Being aware of your emotions is especially helpful in communication and relationships.
-
Keep a diary. A diary can help you organize your thoughts and feelings. This can increase your awareness of your own emotional reactions. It is beneficial for both mental and physical health, such as boosting the immune system and relieving stress. Here are some helpful diary tips:
- How do my feelings relate to this event? How are they not related?
- What do these feelings tell me about me and my needs?
- Can I objectively assess my emotional response? What assumptions can I make based on my judgments?
- Try to write in your diary every day for at least 20 minutes.
-
Recognize the signs of a healthy relationship. Social support is very important in difficult times. Friends, family members, and colleagues can offer social support and help with stressful life events. Social support can also help you feel accepted and secure. Look for the following in your relationship:
Recognize the signs of an unhealthy relationship. Unfortunately, some relationships can be unhealthy or contain elements of violence. Relationship abuse is often the desire to control another person physically or emotionally. Here are some behaviors that may indicate that a person tends to be abusive in a relationship:
- He deliberately tries to put you in an awkward position, to shame
- He is overly critical
- He ignores you
- Often moody and unpredictable
- Controls where you go and limits your social circle
- Uses phrases like “If you…then I…”
- Uses money to control you
- Checks your phone or email without your permission
- Behaves like an owner
- Shows his temper or excessive jealousy
- Uses pressure, guilt, or forces you to have sex
-
Assess your relationship. Once you understand what characterizes a healthy or unhealthy relationship, take the time to consider your social circle. Think about which relationships are most beneficial and which are harmful to your psyche.
-
Invest in your healthy relationships. Maintaining a positive relationship doesn't just depend on other people. It also depends on your behavior. Here are some tips on how to maintain a healthy relationship:
- Remember that each of you is a separate person, and think about what each of you wants from a relationship.
- Express your needs and be receptive to the needs of others.
- Recognize that you will not find complete happiness in one relationship.
- Be willing to compromise and learn to negotiate outcomes that are acceptable to both of you.
- Be empathetic, try to understand the other person's view and point of view.
- When serious problems arise, try to talk about them honestly and with empathy.
Get exercise. When you are stressed, your brain releases hormones that tell your body to prepare to respond to the threat. Severe stress can jeopardize your mental health and sometimes lead to symptoms of physical ill health. A good way to deal with stress is to exercise.
Eat well. A proper diet and proper eating habits will also help reduce stress. In particular, try to adhere to the following recommendations:
Get enough sleep. Sleep is the time when your body regenerates and processes the stress you've been through during the day. This is the time when your brain is resting. Sleep also allows the body and tense muscles to unwind after a hard day.
Practice mindfulness meditation. Mindfulness meditation is a type of meditation that requires focusing on the present moment. The practice of mindfulness meditation focuses on just being and doing nothing else in the moment.
How to increase your self-esteem
How to deal with negative emotions
Make time for yourself. Dealing with strong emotions can be difficult, but they are an integral part of life. The ability to control your emotions and alleviate your own pain is an integral part of good mental health. Part of that is making time for yourself and the activities that you enjoy.
How to Maintain Healthy Relationships
Most of us think about how to maintain and improve health too late, when it is already undermined.
Meanwhile, health is one of the most significant values of our life. No wonder they say: it would be health, and everything else will follow.
How can you maintain your health and strengthen it? An integrated approach to health We all read or heard somewhere about proper nutrition, the benefits of fresh air, and relaxation. The Internet is full of headlines about all kinds of diets, exercise and much more. However, having tried this or that, we sometimes face disappointment: the end result (if any) does not satisfy us.
What's the matter? Many people who have achieved great heights in improving their health will surely tell us that they have achieved success thanks to a comprehensive approach to health. For example, what will happen to us if we suppose we eat right, but lead a “sedentary” lifestyle? It is very likely that this will be of little use.
It is necessary to pay attention to the totality of factors that affect our body. Let's try to see how they are related.
Human health factors
When a man first appeared, forces were laid in nature that could maintain the health of the human body, without which he simply cannot survive.
It is these forces that need to be used to improve human health.
1. One of the most important factors affecting health is air.
Really: how long can we live without it? Not as long as without food and water. Fresh air, most of which consists of oxygen, is necessary for a person for the vital activity of the cells of the whole organism.
However, few of us have the opportunity to breathe fresh air: city dust, exhaust fumes, stale indoor air, as well as improper breathing, impair brain function, contribute to headaches and reduce brain activity.
How can you maintain your health in such conditions? Of course, you can’t do anything with city air, however, it is in our power to surround ourselves with plants that produce oxygen, as well as ventilate the room, spend more time in “fresh” air and learn to breathe properly.
By the way, correct breathing can be seen in the same nature, or rather, in newborn children. How do they breathe? Belly, while most adults are used to breathing from the chest. One of several steps to improve human health is to learn how to breathe properly.
2. What else does our body need so much, if not water?
Without water, a person will live only about 2 weeks, since the daily loss of water is about 0.5 liters. through the skin, 0.2-0.3 liters. - through breathing and 1.5 liters. through the kidneys.
Accordingly, for the normal functioning of the body and the preservation of our health, we need about 3 liters. clean water per day. How strange that in our culture it is customary to drink anything (tea, coffee, juices), but not water - such a necessary and important factor for life that affects health!
If you are wondering how to maintain your health for a long time, try drinking 2-3 glasses of water in the morning on an empty stomach (when the body is most dehydrated). You will see how your physical condition will improve, headaches will go away, food saturation will occur faster, which, together with physical activity, will have a positive effect, since the body will tone up due to a more intensive process of removing toxins and toxins.
By the way, if you don’t feel like drinking, most likely your body is not used to drinking water in the right amount, so at first you will have to force yourself. However, soon, you will not be able to live without water.
3. The third factor affecting health is proper nutrition.
There are many articles on this topic, including on our website. It remains only to recall the importance of eating products created by nature itself, reducing the proportion of products containing preservatives, flavor enhancers, stimulants, etc. in the diet.
At the same time, it is worth approaching your diet based on the individual characteristics of your body and the means of maintaining and strengthening health that are right for you. It is important to give rest to the digestive system (especially before going to bed to prevent insomnia), because in a constantly loaded state, it will quickly wear out, and will increasingly malfunction.
4. Agree that without exercise, the correct use of the first three factors that affect health will not lead to the desired result.
No wonder they say that life is in motion. There are about 600 muscles in our body, consisting of 6,000,000,000 fibers, and physical activity is an effective means of maintaining and strengthening health in general. What happens to them when we stop giving them exercise?
They weaken and become unable to perform their functions. With an increase in loads optimal for the muscles, in addition to strengthening the muscles and skeleton, melatonin is produced - the hormone of pleasure, the pain threshold decreases, blood circulation improves and a more active removal of unnecessary substances from the body occurs, which slows down aging!
Thus, you can maintain your health and youth for a long time. Among other things, with loads, appetite decreases, sleep normalizes. As with everything else, when performing physical exercises, you need to observe the measure, otherwise you can get a negative result. In accordance with this, there are 3 basic rules for physical activity: gradualness, sufficiency, constancy.
5. In the previous paragraphs, we indirectly mentioned rest and sleep.
Let us dwell in more detail on this factor of human health, since the importance of rest cannot be overestimated, and many people, nevertheless, neglect it. It is surprising that during sleep, in addition to restoring strength, the body is “repaired” and rejuvenated.
Therefore, we need a sufficient amount of time for recovery (about 8 hours for an adult, and 9 hours for a child). In addition, if you lie down around 9-10 pm, you will produce melatonin, which will make you happier.
How to improve your sleep? Keeping a sleep schedule, airing the bedroom, doing a set of physical exercises, having dinner until 18:00 and calming your emotions before going to bed. You should remember the importance of rest every week (without washing and washing windows!) Along with a full vacation every year (without all sorts of side jobs), which will allow you to reduce the nervous burden on the body, maintain and strengthen your health.
6. Let's say a few words about sunlight, without which all living beings simply cannot live.
And no wonder, because the sun is a vital energy that helps various substances (including those in our body) to react. The sun is a disinfectant mechanism that kills germs. With the onset of summer, we invariably face the question of how to improve health for the winter.
Therefore, it is important to use such an amazing gift of nature for yourself! Of course, a measure is also needed here, since an overdose of the sun even threatens with the occurrence of skin cancer.
7. The emotional sphere is a very important component in maintaining and strengthening one's health.
Many experts warn about the occurrence of psychosomatic diseases, which are the result of emotional stress, stress, as well as anger, jealousy, envy and other emotional manifestations. Eating well and exercising is not enough.
Together with them, you need to learn emotional health: acceptance of yourself and the world around you, the ability to think positively, believe in the best, pray and do good. Everyone knows that people who have love in their lives get sick less and live longer. That is, with their emotions they support and strengthen their health.
8. Considering the factors influencing health, we have repeatedly said that a measure is needed in everything.
In fact, abstinence is a very important means of maintaining and strengthening health. The factors of health destruction caused by tobacco and alcohol are well known (about 6 million people die every year from smoking, 2.3 ml from alcohol).
But, besides them, there are others, which include, for example, the use of coffee, which includes a permitted narcotic substance - caffeine. Abstinence from harmful substances, observance of measure in food, work and rest. The fulfillment of all these conditions will contribute to the preservation and maintenance of health.
Thus, the cumulative use of factors affecting health, namely:
- air,
- water,
- nutrition,
- physical exercise,
- rest,
- sunlight,
- emotional health and abstinence will help you maintain your health most effectively.
We hope that with the right approach you will successfully maintain and strengthen your health for many years to come! How can you maintain your health and strengthen it?
