Healthy Living: Healthy tips for busy executives

One of my readers said in her mail that she is a very busy executive and she does not have time to do any kind of sport to help her stay fit and healthy. So in case you are in the same predicament, try and follow out the below advice and see if it works for you. If it doesn’t then no matter how busy you are, time for sports has to be found, or you will be digging an early grave.Take a glass of water first thing in the morning. If you haven’t got time for anything else then at least take a glass of water in the morning before you get to do anything. We lose a lot of oxygen through the night and to rejuvenate our cells, we need to supply them with water and oxygen.Drinking a glass of water in the morning makes one feel less tired. I like the taste of water anytime, but I know some people drinking water can be an uphill task, squeezing some fresh lime into your water to give it taste can help one drink it without mush fuss. Always eat fresh fruitWherever you’re going – whether it’s a drive to the office or on your way to a meeting – pick up one or two fruits and eat them. If you leave for work in the morning and don’t return until much late, take a few fruits and eat them throughout the day. Fruits are great for their nutrients, vitamins and sugars that are required in our body. Going out for lunch If are one is attending a luncheon or doing a lunch meeting, try not to eat junk foods which are so common everywhere. A plate of salad or any other healthy meal can make your day. Instead of adding up that extra fat, yet you have no time to burn it out. Exercise everywhere When going to the office, try and get up thirty minutes before your normal time and get to your office early to take the stairs instead of the usual routine of lifts. If possible every other time when going in and out of the office use the stairs to get your blood flowing and your muscles moving. Healthy drinks When at work many people love to get a cup of tea or coffee. Decide that you’ll be more healthy and get a warm cup of herbal tea. The selection available today is absolutely massive, so you’re guaranteed to find one you enjoy. If you are going for a cold drink choose fresh juice to packed juice or just take plain water. Deep breathing When you’ve got time – at your desk, driving the car, cooking food – do some deep breathing. Inhale and count up to 5 seconds, hold it for a few seconds, and release slowly. Exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide is one of the best things we can do for our blood and cells. You don’t have to run through the entire town to stay healthy, these steps can guide one live a healthy life without as much as doing cross country. Ends
