THE HEALTH BENEFITS OF LOVE

HEALTH BENEFITS OF LOVE

Love can be defined in several ways! However, the health benefits of love are vital to our lives, and this might be the reason why we celebrate love. Mostly, love occurs when there is a deep sense of affection and trust, as well as a feeling of hope. Additionally, we should ensure that our relationships are healthy by understanding more about the biology and chemistry of love.

BENEFITS OF LOVE

LOVE AND HEART HEALTH

It is not just romantic love that may improve your heart health. However, you may also be able to maintain good heart health by having a loving relationship with your family and friends. Furthermore, seeing someone who makes your heart smile can cause your brain to release hormones, such as dopamine and adrenaline, that make your heart beat faster and stronger.

LOVE INCREASES LIFE EXPECTATIONS

According to many studies, married couples in particular, especially those who are involved in healthy social relationships, usually live longer. Furthermore, the benefits of healthy relationships may lower the risk of having chronic diseases or developing certain types of conditions.

LOVE REDUCES DEPRESSION AND STRESS LEVELS

Love has been proven to increase a sense of belonging and happiness. However, falling in love, getting married, and maintaining a healthy relationship may reduce feelings of isolation and depression in both males and females. Furthermore, you may be less likely to feel stressed if you have a partner or close friend to help you through difficult situations and emotions.

LOVE MAY LOWER YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE

Being in a happy and loving relationship may lower your blood pressure. Furthermore, many studies have shown that happy couples have better blood pressure values as compared to unhappy couples.

Exercise may sound like a dirty word…

Introduction

Exercise may sound like a dirty word to some, but it’s vital to your health and wellbeing. One of the easiest ways to get fit is walking, and getting yourself a pedometer may be just what you need to hike the path of fitness.

Get yourself some good walking shoes, clip on your pedometer and take some steps toward wellness. Initially, wear the pedometer to work to get a feel of how many steps you actually take a day. The goal is 10 000, so if you walk 2 000 or 3 000 a day at present, try to get it up by 500 in the next week.

Spend at least a week at that number of steps before increasing your goal again. If you still feel that it’s a strain to reach your goal, work at it another week before increasing. Improving your overall health and fitness is a gradual process, and taking things too quickly can lead to injury, so don’t increase your steps too quickly.

Here’s how to step it up:

Firstly, Walk in place or pace when on the phone. Get up during TV ads and walk around until your program begins again. In addition walk in place during the TV program.

Secondly, use a restroom further from your office or on a different floor. Use the stairs whenever you can and park further away than usual. Walk to a colleague’s office instead of using the phone or e-mail

Finally take a walk at lunch time and then eat at your desk Try to spread your walking out. You’ll find it difficult to continue and see fewer benefits if you sit most of the day and then try to get all your steps done at once. If your goal is 6 000 steps a day, you should have completed around 3 000 by early afternoon. Keeping yourself on track throughout the day will help prevent injury and keep you from feeling overwhelmed or disheartened.

Conclusion

In conclusion if you feel that exercise may sound like a dirty word you need to remember the long term benefits of exercise on your health.

Tips

It isn’t as hard as it sounds. Here are a few tips for adding more of nature’s best into your diet:

Firstly, make a bowl of fruit salad using seasonal fruit and eat at least one bowl a day. Grate an apple over your cereal or snack on a handful of grapes. In addition have a bag of raisins in your car and buy a pack of mixed fruit and keep it at the office

Secondly, order a portion of veggies with your steak if you’re out for lunch. Keep raw veggies and a tasty dip in your fridge to snack on. You can also slice a tomato and eat it with your evening meal

Thirdly, if you must eat pizza, opt for a vegetarian. In addition have a small salad as a starter if you have to dine out.

Finally, go vegetarian at least once a week Remember that a serving is a portion that can fit into your hand – which means a regular sized bunch of grapes would be around two servings. Now you only have seven to go.

DESIGNING YOUR FITNESS PROGRAM

You finally relent and sign up at the gym. You’re gung-ho and determine that you’re going to exercise ever day. However, the best way to keep up the enthusiasm – and to get fit – is to have a plan. How to set about designing your fitness program?

What to consider when designing a plan

No single plan is perfect for everyone so keep these points in mind when designing your fitness program:

Determine your fitness goals: Are you getting fit to help with weight loss? Or preparing for a road race? Having clear goals can help you gauge your progress.

Your preferences: Choose activities you’ll enjoy. If you have fun doing your exercises, you’re more likely to continue doing them.

Plan for progression: If you’re new to exercise, start cautiously and progress slowly. If you have an injury or a medical condition, consult your doctor for help designing a fitness program that gradually improves your range of motion, strength and endurance.

Build activity into your routine: Finding exercise time can be a challenge, so schedule time to exercise as you would any other appointment. Plan to watch your favorite TV show while walking on the treadmill, or read while riding a stationary bike.

The spice of life: Varying your activities (cross-training) can keep boredom at bay. Cross-training also reduces the risk of injuring or overusing one specific muscle or joint. Alternate your activities to concentrate on different parts of your body, like walking, swimming and strength training.

Recovery time: Many people start exercising with zeal – working out too long or too intensely – and give up when their muscles and joints become sore or injured. Plan time between sessions for your body to rest and recover.

Conclusion

Plan your time at the gym and put it on paper – written plan may encourage you to stay on track. Remember, too, to add in some time for stretching before exercising, and “warming-down” afterwards.

In conclusion if you are trying to design your fitness program and have any doubts, see your doctor. Doing it incorrectly can be dangerous.
