Better health does not always have to be a "no pain, no gain" attitude. Thinking about building better health does not have to be just "rabbit food" and workouts. Getting healthy can actually be done by pampering yourself.
Need some relaxation that can actually be healthy - I got you covered.
1) Try a nice relaxing warm bath with some essential oils. A warm bath can increase blood flow as well as relaxing muscles and easing tension. Essential oils can aid in many, many areas of health concerns. If you have questions about which oil is best for your health, come and see me.
2) Get some ear de-stress acupuncture. At my clinic this is done by our acupuncturist while the patient stretches out in a recliner. It consists of needling a few points in each ear, with a needle that is about the width of a human hair. By getting the acupuncture and having time to sit and relax the body's meridians are able to open and allow energy to flow properly throughout the body and allowing the patient time to relax during a stressful time.
3) Get a massage. A massage can be a simple as a hand massage or chair massage all the way up to a full-body-deep-tissue massage. Massage helps muscles relax as well as stimulate blood flow. By stimulating blood flow this can create movement of toxins which can be old ingested toxins and even some of those pesky flu-bug symptoms that keep hanging on.
4) Sweat it out in the sauna. Take a good book or bring along a friend and sit in the heat. Sweating helps remove toxins through the skin and requires hardly any physical effort on your behalf. Plus, a sauna sound really great when the HIGH temp today was below freezing.
5) Plan a new menu. Get some new recipes and try out some new cuisines. Invite some friends or family and see if they can even guess they are eating healthy. Luckily, the internet has given us the ability to search millions of healthy recipes online, find a few and try them out.
