Practical Tips for Better Health
Following, from Dr. Patricia Ryan and the Alternatives
staff, are tips on how to achieve better health in practical ways:
- More exercise doesn’t necessarily mean more weight loss. “Exercising too much can actually increase cortisol levels in the blood, making it more difficult to lose weight,” Dr. Ryan said.
- Don’t forget the strength training. “Many people believe that all they need is cardio-vascular exercise, but weight training is an important part of a balanced exercise program,” according to Dr. Ryan.
- Getting plenty of sleep is vital to weight loss and better health. “Recent studies have shown that adults actually need at least nine and a half hours of sleep each night to be healthy,” Dr. Ryan said. “Adequate rest also plays an important role in losing weight.”
- Increase your intake of vegetables. Broccoli, cabbage, tomatoes and green leafy vegetables are powerful antioxidants.
- Believe in your own basic goodness. Never underestimate the power of positive thinking.
