It is holiday time in many parts of the world. In Australia we are gearing up for winter school holidays and of course the northern hemisphere is enjoying summer breaks. Staying healthy on holiday is actually easier than you may think.
Staying healthy on holiday does not require nearly as much effort as you may have come to believe and really means applying some fairly basic principles Authentic Josh Reynolds Jersey , which join together relaxation and enjoyment with the pillars of DIY Health.
So here are some simple tips on staying healthy on holiday wherever you may go in the world.
1. Enjoy new and different foods whilst limiting portions. It is great to sample new foods whilst away. Many people will be "eating out" for three meals a day. This can be a recipe for weight gain but does not need to be. All you need to do be limit portion sizes. Particularly when at the buffet enjoy sampling different. Have a small serve of different foods. Enjoy quality rather than quantity. 2. Make sure you include fruits and vegetables. For many people cooking vegetables is seen as hard work. When someone else does it there is no work involved. Put vegetables the first thing on your plate at the buffet. Wherever you are there will be local fruit in season so enjoy this as well perhaps before the cake or ice-cream. 3. Take the stairs. There is much opportunity to be active when you are on holidays. Take the stairs wherever you can (OK not when lugging suitcases). Walk a few blocks rather than take a cab if staying in a city. Take a walk in nature. Apart from being good exercise it will get you out in the fresh air and sunshine, which is good for your vitamin D levels. It is easy to do this without burning. Getting into nature is also very grounding and relaxing. This can be as simple as a walk in a park. 4. Do a workout. Many hotels have gyms, which you can use for free (as part of your stay) or for a modest fee. Some will also run group classes and this can be an opportunity to try something new. Last year when we were in Bali I was able to try a different form of yoga Authentic Gerald Everett Jersey , which was run in the hotel gym. Go for a run, bike ride or swim; whatever you like 5. Catch up on sleep. Yes it is good to be active when on holiday but it is also a tine to rest and recharge the batteries. Minimize fixed commitments so you do not have to set the alarm in the morning allowing your body to wake when it is ready. Be happy to have that nap by the pool after lunch if your body is tired. Have some relaxation time each day. Maybe have a facial or massage. 6. Drink mainly water. Yes of course you can enjoy a cocktail or tropical juice by the pool (or a schnapps in the snow) but make your main drink water. In some countries this will mean bottled water but in those countries the bottled water is always cheap by western standards. Better water than soda from a bottle. 7. Above all else have the mindset that being healthy on holiday is fun.
When you are healthy you will have more energy to do the things you want to do. Of course you will feel better and you will look better too. This is regardless of whether you are in snow gear, camping gear or swimsuit. So this holiday season apply the basic principles detailed above and have a great holiday wherever you go.
I have just returned from watching John McGuiness achieving yet another lap record in the TT race. Even though I have experienced many a TT race Authentic Rob Havenstein Jersey , it never fails to make my heart beat faster when I see and hear the riders as they gather speed down Bray Hill at the beginning of the course. The riders set off at ten second intervals and by the end of the second lap McGuiness had already closed that ten second gap. He is not the type of person who gives up, and it is very hard to beat someone who will not give up.
I think it was Babe Ruth, the baseball player from the twenties Authentic Tyler Higbee Jersey , who was the person given credit for first making this observation. Yet again sport demonstrates to us so clearly an important mental skill which is relevant to success in all of our lives. Whether it is riding in the TT race, playing baseball or starting your own business, you have to be determined to not give up or you will not stay the course.
An old Chinese proverb also states that the man who gives up will not be lucky. This also is very true. I have a successful friend who often hears people say "you're so lucky"; his reply is "the harder I work the luckier I become". I'm sure there is many a famous person who has made a similar comment. What makes some people keep on going when others would have given up? What do they see that the rest of us do not?
The answer is that these people have a vision; they really can see the end result which they want to achieve. They can see it Authentic Jared Goff Jersey , hear it, feel it...they can taste their success. Not only that, they have the ability to hold that focus Authentic Samson Ebukam Jersey , to keep that vision clear in their mind, no matter what set-backs may occur. This ability to imagine and visualize their success also creates a clear expectancy that they will win whatever winning means to them.
If you were to act in every way as if you knew you were going to win, or knew that you were going to succeed Authentic John Johnson Jersey , can you imagine the increase in confidence, the increase in positive energy which you would experience? Imagine what it might feel like if you had twice as much energy and twice as much enthusiasm as you may otherwise have. How much easier would problem solving be? How much easier would it be to push past limits or barriers and place yourself in a position to be lucky?
