Five Steps to Perfect Health

Malak Kira

Step 1
Move your body. Aerobic training increases your pulse rate. At least 20 to 30 minutes three times a week improves your lung capacity and protects against heart disease, and high blood pressure. Walking, dancing, biking and running are all good aerobic choices.

Step 2
Participate in weight-lifting activities three to four times a week. It increases your bone density, as well as improving your body’s metabolic rate. Using free weights and weight machines will change your body’s fat to muscles.

Step 3
Practice stretching and flexibility exercise daily. Stretching every day is important to guarantee flexibility. Stretching will prevent muscle stiffness and injury during exercise. Yoga increases your body’s flexibility as well as building muscle strength.

Step 4
Eat a reasonable diet every day. A healthy eating plan is important to achieve a perfect body. Try to eat three meals along with two healthy snacks daily. A healthy diet should include fresh fruits and vegetables. Drinking 6 to 8 glasses of water per day is very important plus it makes you feel full.

Step 5
Try to minimize your stress. A certain amount of stress is predictable; on the other hand too much stress causes a negative effect on a person’s health. Long term stress can lead to heart attack or stroke. Taking a relaxing walk and getting 7 to 8 hours of sleep can help you minimize stress.
