The best type of life insurance you can get doesn’t cost a lot and you can give it to yourself. Here are ten “low tech” practices that can help extend your life in quality and years.
1. Deep Breathing and Meditation.
Breathing is an exchange. Waste, carbon dioxide, is exchanged with oxygen as we breathe. Every cell in the body needs oxygen to work properly. How we breathe affects the nervous system, regulating the heart rate, blood pressure, circulation and digestion.
Meditation is a technique of directed concentration. Take the time each day to allow your self to focus on that still place inside you, while noticing your thoughts. After some time this will bring you a profound sense of peace and relaxation.
2. Water.
Drink 6-8 glasses of purified water each day. Our bodies are 70% water we need it for our cells to work properly.
3. Supplements.
Since our soil and food is depleted of necessary nutrients, you need to take vitamins and mineral supplements each day. You need 60 minerals, 16 vitamins, 12 amino acids, and 3 essential fatty acids daily to remain healthy.
4. Yoga & Aerobic Exercise.
Yoga once or twice a week helps balance and calm your stressed muscles and nerves. It literally massages your organs, Strengthens your bones, relaxes your muscles and calms your mind. It provides a balance to hectic living.
Aerobic exercise three times a week for 20 minutes strengthens the heart and blood vessels, lowers cholesterol, reduces stress and increases the production of the body’s natural pain killers (endorphins). Walking is an excellent aerobic exercise.
5. Enjoy yourself.
Love your work and your play. Find a career and life style that fits you life purpose. Life is too short do what you love.
6. Talk it out. Connect with others.
Studies show that talking about problems is an effective way to reduce stress. Talk to a trusted friend or counselor. Joining a support group, of people with similar challenges, can be an excellent healing process. Life is meant to be lived with others,
7. Eat Correctly.
Eat organic fruits and vegetables a minimum of 2-3 times a day. Fresh, pesticide-free foods have more mineral and vitamin content and less toxins than non-organic foods. Vegetables and fruits provide bulk and vitamins and minerals needed for health.
8. Touching and Hugging.
Touching is one of the oldest and most effective healing therapies. Studies have proven that babies who are touched thrive better and gain more weight than babies who aren’t touched. Adults thrive with touching too.
