Guest Post: Improve Your Health Naturally

With so many infomercials, advertisements and social media messages touting the next best solution to lose weight fast, this concept crosses nearly everyone's mind every single day. Many of these “get healthy fast” solutions utilize a variety of chemicals or unhealthy practices in order to slim down or bulk up.

And for most people, getting healthy isn't necessarily about losing weight, but about making smart choices with their habits and lifestyles. Yes, many people hope to lose that last 5 pounds, but in all actuality, the goal could be to get healthier, and they'll feel better in the long run.

As someone who has recently made healthier choices in her day to day life, I know firsthand how little changes can improve my overall health. Below are four of my favorite tips for improving your healthy in a natural way.

Massage

   I know it might sound silly to start out with this, but massage has really proven to be a fantastic natural way to get my health on track. The benefits of massage are almost endless, and go far beyond feeling good or making for a relaxing afternoon. Massage can naturally reduced blood pressure, improved posture, and increase blood circulation - all important factors in an overall healthy lifestyle.

All Natural Foods

Natural, whole foods have so many nutrients, it's ridiculous. Because many of us eat processed foods for the convenience or accustomed taste, we are missing out on a whole host of vitamins, minerals and other nutrients that can improve our health. Making simple changes from using all fresh vegetables instead of canned or frozen vegetables, and using hormone-free meat in your cooking will help improve your nutrient intake overall. Also, for an added boost, for whole food supplements as an additional source of important vitamins and minerals.

Easy Exercise
Exercise may seem daunting, especially for those who aren't used to it. But exercise doesn't need to be running 3 hours each day, or lifting 150 pounds each night at the gym. Find easy ways to get a workout in each day. Vigorous cleaning, walking the dog, or attending a dance class with friends are all great and healthy ways to fit in a workout. If you make a small effort each day, exercise will become easier and easier to fit into your schedule.

Track Your Progress

You may have heard of people keeping a food diary, but you may not completely understand the benefits of this practice. I'm a big fan of tracking everything I eat throughout the day, as well as my physical activity and my daily weight. All these measurements combine for an overall picture into my continued good health. And there are plenty of great smart-phone apps available that will help you keep track of your food intake and activity levels so you are always aware of the progress you're making for your health.

You can improve your overall health without medical intervention or prescription medications. Natural solutions for getting healthy are more beneficial in the long run, and your body will respond to them positively. Enjoy your healthy journey with natural solutions, and enjoy the rest of your life.
