Welcome to yet another week of “Make a Change Mondays” here at CHI-Health. We are constantly trying to improve our tips and this week is no exception. Here are some of the best tips to help you make a change for your health today.
Practice Patience. They say patience is a virtue, but it's hard to be patient. Things are going to happen this week. They will not all go your way. Nor will they happen on your schedule. But being ready for what the world will bring you at its own pace will help you find peace. There's a saying we love, "Don't sweat the small stuff, and it's all small stuff." Keep your head about you and breathe.
Cut out partially hydrogenated anything (code name: Trans Fats). Even if the box says that there's no trans fats in what you are eating, check the ingredients. Here’s the truth: If there's partially hydrogenated oils in it, there are trans fats in it. Because if there is less than a gram of it in your food, manufacturers can still label it as 0. Do some label reading, it might surprise you how much trans fat you are consuming every day.
If there is a certain body part you are trying to work out, perform those exercises first. At the start of a workout, your body is more energized and more responsive to the stress that you are creating during exercise. Mentally this helps too, because knowing you hit your workout target early can push you through the rest of the workout.
Drink before you fly. Traveling this summer? If so, make sure you are getting plenty of water before you get on the plane. Flying has been known to cause dehydration, which adds to the effects of jet lag. Even drinking water mid-flight is too late, as the body has already lost a lot of its water. Drink up to avoid that sluggish, light-headed, tired feeling that sets in after your flight and sometimes during the flight.
