How to stay in good shape every day?

The body is constantly put to the test by stress, toxins, illnesses, fatigue and the bad energies of everyday life. No one is immune to a sudden less pout, or even a slump, during the day. These declines in form are nevertheless avoidable. How? 'Or' What ?

The following 10 tips will help you do that.

Stay in shape all the time, a question of rhythm

Having vitality all day long, all year round, is no coincidence. This requires personal investment , determination and a well-structured schedule, neither too busy nor too light. 

Adopt a rhythm of life compatible with your physical condition , your personal and professional situation and which protects you from situations of stress and fatigue that are necessarily harmful to your overall state of health.

A sports alarm clock to be physically fit

Whether you're a morning person or a sleepover, always start your day on the right footing. As soon as you wake up, take the time to stimulate your body and mind with light physical activity . 

A few stretches in your room, a short jog in your neighborhood or well-felt push-ups and squats will wake up your muscles and your brain. 

Go slowly, your goal being to give your body a little boost – through the hormones secreted during exercise – and not to tire you unnecessarily at the start of your day.

 

Eat well in the morning

After your little morning workout, treat yourself to a good breakfast , rich in fiber, oilseeds, protein and essential fatty acids. 

Choose whole grains (especially muesli), carbohydrates, seasonal fruits and green vegetables to fill up on strength and vitamins. 

Never skip this morning meal, which is also a moment of pleasure and tasting of the most beneficial on your mind.

 

Have energy every day with positive thoughts

Avoid thinking too much about your obligations and your work during your breakfast and even after. Certainly, there is nothing wrong with anticipating your daily tasks, planning is even recommended. 

However, by dint of thinking about your problems at the office, that irritating colleague, that impetuous client or the seven long hours of staying cloistered between the walls, your morale will be lowered. 

Focus instead on the positive aspects of your schedule: the moments of conviviality around the coffee machine, the evening outings, the moments of relaxation with family or lovers and the rewards of your work. You will be more inclined to attack your day in a good mood.

 

Listen to your body

The human body is a formidable machine equipped with ultra-sensitive sensors and transmitters. Signs of fatigue, stress and nervousness reach the brain within milliseconds. 

Pay attention to these signals and react immediately if there is a problem that could affect your energy level or your state of health. Do you feel dizzy or tired from sitting down? 

Take a quick break and take a trip to the coffee machine or the relaxation area in your office. A cup of green tea or plain fruit juice will re-energize you.

 

Keep moving

Prolonged sitting weakens the body. So, take the time to stretch your legs and refresh your brain at the office. 

After work, do not hesitate to walk a few hundred meters, or even run or practice a little sport indoors or in the open air. 

A few cardio sessions and stretching are enough to evacuate the tensions accumulated during the day. 

On the other hand, avoid overtiring yourself in the evening, especially during the three hours before going to bed.

 

Good restful sleep

At night, the body replenishes energy and repairs cells and tissues damaged during the day. This recovery phase is therefore vital and should not be neglected under any circumstances. 

Arrange your bedroom to make it easier to fall asleep. Dim lights, a restful decor and comfortable bedding are major allies for restful sleep. 

Sex is just as effective, if not more so.

 

What to drink to be fit?

The answer is simple: drink between 1.5 and 2 liters of water a day to stay in shape all day. 

Your body needs it to assimilate the energy contained in food, to evacuate toxins and to regulate internal temperature. Without forgetting the essential minerals naturally present in spring water and tap water. 

To add flavor to your main drink, add lemon zest, mint leaves, or another flavor of your choice. An occasional cold-pressed fruit and vegetable juice also provides a boost of vitamins , nutrients and vitality .

 

Eliminate toxins

The body naturally evacuates toxins through the skin, urine, perspiration and excreta. Tiny residues, however, manage to escape the purifying actions of emunctories. 

You will then need natural detoxifying products, such as green tea and ginger to boost the activity of these organs and thus optimize the elimination of toxins and other harmful molecules. Your body will spend less energy to fight them.

 

Staying fit during pregnancy

You are pregnant? These same tips will help you stay fit throughout the gestation period. As a bonus, give yourself time to take naps, which are essential for your rest and the growth of the baby, especially during the last trimester. 

Adopt a rich and varied diet, alternating and combining seasonal meats, starches, fruits, and vegetables.

In addition to naps, treat yourself to relaxing music or meditation, yoga or massage sessions. These moments of relaxation will benefit you and your baby.

 

Natural remedies to keep fit

Are you suffering from the pangs of a cold or a dry cough that causes a loss of tone? 

An infusion or decoction made from garlic and ginger will put you back on your feet. You can complete the treatment with diffusion or inhalation of ravintsara essential oil. 

Natural remedies can also relieve loss of vitality, diarrhea, headache, nervous system disorders, and low libido. 

These organic and natural treatments are available in the form of plant extracts, powder, capsules, essential oils, or other food supplements.
