overall well-being

Let’s face it.

The reason why most of us aren’t feeling all that great when it comes to our overall well-being is because of our habits. These habits may include those that make us eat junk foods more than usual rather than eat healthy foods more than usual such as fruits and vegetables, as well as those that make us drink alcoholic beverages more often rather than drink fitness drinks more often such as juices and smoothies. These habits may also include those that make us laze around at home more than usual instead of moving around at home more than usual such as doing chores and exercising small, as well as those that make us do nothing at home more often instead of doing something at home more often such as going DIY and decluttering storages.

Well, you’re just in luck.

Despite all those mentioned above and despite every person in this world’s tendency to quit even before starting, below are some habits to adopt right now for your overall well-being:

The Habit To Go Outdoors

That cool wind blowing up on your face is more than what it seems, especially when it comes to boosting your immunity system with properties only a dose of fresh air can provide for a person. That warm sun shining down on your body is also more than what it seems, especially when it comes to boosting your energy level with properties only a dose of sun ray can provide for a person. Thus, it’s time for you to adopt the habit of going outdoors right now – even for just a few minutes per day.

The Habit To Create Things

Creating things is not just limited for you to showcase your knowledge and further showcase your skills, especially when it comes to making things all by hand. It also involves you showcasing your creativity via those talents and further showcasing your innovativeness via those skills, especially when it comes to finishing things all by yourself. Thus, it’s time for you to adopt the habit of creating things right now – even for just a few hours per day.

How about you? What are your habits when it comes to your overall well-being?

4 Medical Benefits of Marijuana

AdamLeave a comment

Smoking pot for medicinal purposes has been proven to offer numerous benefits. Below are just some of its advantages.

Reduces anxiety

anxiety scrabble

Users of medical cannabis declare that the drug helps alleviate the pain and subdue nausea. These two are usually known to be the main side effects of chemotherapy as well.

Last 2010, Harvard Medical School researchers suggested that some of marijuana’s benefits may be caused by decreased anxiety since it improves the mood of the smoker and serves as a sedative when consumed in small doses.

Helps reverse carcinogenic effects of tobacco

In January 2012, a study issued in the Journal of the American Medical Association stated that marijuana doesn’t harm the function of lungs; instead, it increases its capacity, improving lung health.

For 20 years, researchers studied the lung function of 5,115 young adults, hoping to discover the probable factors of heart disease. Over time, tobacco smokers lost their lung function, but those who smoked pot had better lung capacity.

The improvement might be caused by the taking of deep breaths while the users inhaled the drug.

May stop the spreading of cancer

Cannabidiol or CBD is a chemical in marijuana that could help halt the spread of the disease, according to the researchers of California Pacific Medical Center in San Francisco.

It’s possible because CBD switches the gene Id-1 off, as per the study issued in the Journal Molecular Cancer Therapeutics. Cancer cells copy this gene more than noncancerous cells and therefore spread the disease throughout the body.

The researchers then chose to study breast cancer cells which had high expression levels of the said gene, and they treated it with CBD. After the treatment, the cells had a lower Id-1 expression, and the spreading was less aggressive.

According to a few studies in Spain, Israel, and the U.S., compounds in marijuana could even eliminate cancer cells.

Helps control epileptic seizures

A study carried out last 2003 showed that cannabis use could fend off epileptic seizures.

Robert J. DeLorenzo from Virginia Commonwealth University experimented with epileptic rats. He gave synthetic marijuana and marijuana extract to the subjects, and they didn’t have seizures for nearly 10 hours. THC and CBD found in cannabis control seizures by attaching to the brain cells which control excitability and regulate relaxation.

The discoveries were published in the famous Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics.

Little Ways To Relieve Stress

stress

Stress is a normal part of life. Just like other kinds of emotions known to man, stress is actually a healthy way to prevent yourself from completely blowing up – be it over an unfinished chore from home or over a wrong report from work.

The only problem?

It’s when stress becomes an unusual part of life, which might cause adverse effects – not just in our life, but also in other people’s lives. It’s also when you get stressed even with the simplest of things like your tea getting just a bit cold.

That being said, you need to learn how to relieve stress – even in the littlest of ways.

Here are some of them:

Write down at least four things you are grateful for everyday.

To be grateful is to identify what makes you glad to wake up every morning, even if things aren’t really looking good. To be grateful is to identify what makes you want to wake up every morning, even if things aren’t really going right. You don’t need to write down a gratitude essay for it. You only need to write down at least four things you are grateful for everyday. This will serve not just inspirations to keep going in life, but also as strength when times get rough.

Run outside for at least 30 minutes.

Running is not just about strengthening your arms and legs. It’s also about strengthening your heart and mind from any challenges life throws at you. It’s also about strengthening your will and patience from trials that make you want to let go of the things you’ve always worked hard for. Even more so, running helps clear your mind from anything that will only cause more stress – and yes, via endorphins (a.k.a. happy hormones) as you get more active when running outside.

The Daily Burn: Why Exercising Doesn’t Have to Be Complicated

run

Everyone gets extremely busy at some point. For some, it may even be the norm. Constant busyness, however, can take its toll regardless of how good you are at juggling things. The hectic pace you set trying to accomplish the things on your to-do list could get in the way of your fitness routines. And it may also impact your eating habits. Dropping the fitness ball to make room for more “important” stuff may seem like the best option. But it does not have to be the case. Here are some ideas on how to take better care of your health despite the busy schedule you may keep.

Take charge. Complete control is an illusion. It would be too much to expect that you can control every single thing that happens to you at any given day. But it does not mean you cannot stay on top of things to avoid being overwhelmed. You have to take charge when it comes to your health. Make a conscious decision to introduce small positive changes to your lifestyle, if needed. This can help you stay on track with your health and wellness needs. Start focusing on how you can develop health-friendly behaviors that would stick.

Look for opportunities to keep moving. You never know when things do not go as planned. A cancelled meeting or an unexpected free time is an opportunity to get moving. Take a leaf off some running enthusiasts’ habits by always keeping their gears handy. They are the people who manage to squeeze a run during lunch breaks or after work. Pick your choice of possible exercises to do on your spare time. You can keep compact gears handy like a jumping rope or resistance band. This way you can use something for a quick workout when you have time to spare.

Keep your sight on your fitness goals. Healthy living hinges on the habits you build. And making positive habits stick is part of the challenge. You have to stay focused on your fitness goals. But first, you have to be realistic and do not let big, daunting goals stop you. Break down your end-goal into mini-goals that you can work on slowly but steadily. It is easier to accomplish one small goal at a time than aiming for one huge milestone at once. If your goal is to get back in shape by losing ten pounds of excess weight, you can set your sights on shedding one to two pounds every month. You can customize your goals according to what is realistically possible for you given the frequent traveling that you do.

Have fun. Choose a fitness routine, a physical activity, or sport that you enjoy. Avoid restricting your diet too much that it becomes burdensome. Instead, indulge from time to time as long as you do not overdo it. Eat healthy meals and reward yourself with your favorite treats. Try different workouts to keep exercise interesting. Engage in everyday physical activities that you can incorporate in your daily routine. Keeping your healthy lifestyle fun helps you stick to habits that improve your health.
