Get Slow For Better Health
Here are three ways you can slow down:
1 – Just eat: turn off the television, news, radio, and computer. Stop reading the newspaper or magazine. Spend time with your food. When was the last time you just enjoyed looking at your plate? Enjoying your food makes it taste better. It also helps you digest it better – when you are relaxed, your body is better able to break down your food and use the nutrients in it.
2 – Schedule “me” time: if this is a foreign concept for you, then you’ll need it more than anyone. Open your planner, Outlook or PDA, and find time in your schedule to do something for yourself. Spend time on whatever you want that you’ve been putting off. Then, make sure you don’t cancel your date with yourself. If it’s in your book, it counts as a real appointment – honor it.
3 – Breathe: Take a deep breath whenever you remember to do so. Most of us don’t breathe fully. But you need oxygen just like you need food or water. Oxygen helps you digest better and integrate nutrients more fully into your system. So practice taking deep breaths, inhaling as deeply as you can and exhaling as completely as possible. Whenever you remember to do so, pause and take a deep breath.
