Intermittent Fasting
Intermittent fasting is not necessary a new concept but it is something which has attracted a much larger following in recent years. Intermittent fasting varies depending on what works for your body, in the main however people decide to use the 16:8 rule which means that you fast for 16 hours per day, and then eat just between an 8 hour window. This benefits the body in so many ways from lowering blood sugar levels to helping the digestive system break down and burn fat. Ultimately the fast acts as a reset for your body and your mind.
Fun Exercise
There are so many of us who struggle with consistent exercise, each and every day. In the main this is because of the fact that many of us do not enjoy exercise. For this reason it is essential that you understand how to make exercise fun, and it can be done. For example perhaps you enjoy playing a sport which helps you burn calories and which puts a smile on your face. Alternatively there may be a certain exercise or athletic event which you are yet to try that will be fun to do. Simply because you do not enjoy the gym or running, doesn’t mean that you cannot exercise.
Simple Confidence
Confidence is something which really will change your life and that is why it is important that we focus on those little details which help us to feel confident. For example simple things like making sure we look good, our hair is done, we are clean and fresh, this helps with confidence. We can also boost our confidence with positivity and writing down notes each day which feature positive information about your life. Confidence is the key to mental and physical health, we require it in order to improve both aspects of our health, and then taking action breeds more of it.
