VOYAGE CHAPTER II: VOYAGE

Making a commitment to a healthy lifestyle is one of the most meaningful gifts you can give to yourself and others. A healthy body not only enhances a more active, productive, and fulfilling lifestyle, but it can also add years to your life. Maintaining your health when you have a busy schedule may seem to be an impossible task. Frequently, the appeal of sweets, fast food, and caffeine outweighs healthy options when you’re in the company of friends or under stress from coursework. Here are some tips to maintain your health for a better life.

Being physically active helps you stay healthy. It can also lower your risk of health conditions that can cause eye health or vision problems. If going to the gym is a difficult task to do, try to get at least 30 minutes of activity every day. Doing a hobby that involves a lot of movement can be one of the options to keep you physically active. You can also start to use the stairs instead of elevators in your workplace.

Be sure to eat healthy food. Your daily food selection should include a balance of good carbs, protein, fruits, veggies, and dairy products. Choosing healthier options such as skim or low-fat dairy will help you maintain a balanced diet. Also, try to eat a moderate portion. If you keep portion sizes moderate and reasonable, it is easier to eat what you want, and maintain a healthy and balanced diet. Remember that foods are not good or bad.  It’s all about portion control!

Getting enough water every day is important for your health. Drinking water can help remove the toxins from our bodies and prevent dehydration, a condition that can cause unclear thinking, result in mood change, and cause your body to overheat. Furthermore, water has a tremendously positive effect on skin clarity and elasticity.  So, what stops you to carry a water bottle with you throughout the day?

Getting plenty of sleep is great for both our overall health and our eye health. Our eyes need at least five hours of sleep to replenish themselves so that they can function effectively throughout the day. Over time, lack of sleep can make our immune systems weaker, make it more difficult to lose weight, increase our blood pressure, and contribute to mood changes and memory loss. It also affects our eyes. If you spend a lot of time using a computer, you have to give your eyes a rest or wear protective eyewear.
