3 Habits to Improve Your Health!

Many people think that their work is keeping them from being healthy. In reality, it doesn't matter how many work you have to finish, as long as you have the intention to be healthy, you will still try to achieve it.

I'm gonna give you three habits, that may be simple, but can improve your fitness!

1. Less sitting!
Research shows that sitting around too much will lead you to many dangerous diseases: obesity, cardiovascular diseases, even cancer. Dr. James Levine, a doctor in Rochester's Mayo Clinic said that the disease you get from sitting too long is the same as the side effects you get from smoking!

To keep you from those diseases, do simple exercises like squat, lunge, and other kinds of stretching in between your activities. You can also do some other activities such as taking the stairs instead of the elevators, cycling to school or to work, even parking your vehicle a bit further so that you get more chances to walk.


2. Help Others!
This might sound silly and hard to believe, but it does keep you healthy! Research indicates that if you help others more often, it will prevent you from psychological disorder (such as depression). Generally, people who help others more often will focus more on problems of others instead of their own, thus make them feel better than the others.

This habit will also develop affection, which will keep you from getting angry, stressed, or even upped your blood pressure!


3. Don't Get Too Attached to Your Cellphone!

A study indicates that a person's stress level can increase from checking their cellphone or other gadgets to check on their messages too often. This habit can keep you from doing other more important things, screws up your mood, and stress you up.

To overcome this, give yourself one day rest from things that makes you get attached to your phone. Try socializing directly to your friends, because this can help you express your emotions freely. Turn off your phone, or activate the silent mode before you go to sleep.
