Ok, everyone. I've been preaching
the benefits of drinking enough water to just about everbody I talk to.
Read the article I wrote for Touchstone, the journal of the Oregon Massage
Therapists Association about water.
And here are some additional
musings.
|
- Drink more water. In the
course of my practice, I have found an alarming number of my clients
to have dehydrated tissues. Dehydration can cause symptoms of a number
of diseases. Read Dehydration As A Cause of Disease,
a two-part article I wrote for Touchstone, the journal of the Oregon
Massage Therapists association.
- Get regular exercise.
Recent studies have shown that even 30 minutes of walking each day
promotes a stronger heart and stronger bones.
- Breathe fresh air. Open
windows, go for walks, get out of the air conditioning and away from
artificially heated air.
- Sleep regularly and long.
Go to bed at the same time; get up at the same time. Plan on sleeping
at least 7 hours every night. If your situation doesn't permit that,
change your situation.
- Get regular sunshine.
While laying in the hot sun probably isn't too healthy, daily sunshine
is.
- Eat good food. While I've
been a vegetarian since 1969, I recognize that it isn't for everyone.
Avoid fast foods. Eat plenty of fresh vegetables and fruits.
- Hug someone today. Make
it a point to hug several people today. Teach children that touch
is safe. Massage your friends and family. Get regular professional
massages to take care of those nagging aches and pains.
Put more life in your years!
