5 accessible ways to make your lifestyle a little healthier.
1. Buy or pick your food locally
Fruits and vegetables fresh out of the field are better for you and the environment. They are fresher and contain more nutrients.
2. Listen to music
Music makes your body and mind healthier. Several studies have proven that symptoms such as depression and Alzheimer's can be reduced. By listening to music, the stress hormone cortisol decreases.
3. Make fitness eco-friendly
Work up a sweat with only the facilities of mother nature. Save electricity by skipping the elliptical cross trainer and head out for a brisk walk or boot camp in the park. Research shows that exercising outside is even better for body and mind.
4. Take a power nap
You can improve your memory with a short power nap. Scientists discovered that people who close their eyes briefly after reading or learning a certain assignment achieve fifty percent better results on a later test than non-sleepers.
5. Tell fewer lies Lying doesn't make you healthier, telling the truth does. Research from the University of Notre Dame shows that less lying leads to better mental health and closer personal relationships.
