Make the Most of Nutritional Supplements Nutritional Supplements are not a "one-size fits all" approach. Take some time with your physician, nutritionist or holistic health practitioner to come up with a targeted approach of supplementation based on your own personal health goals and deficiencies. According to Kyani, knowing which nutritional supplements you need to take, along with correct dosage can make a world of a difference.
Get Outside
Nature therapy works! Immersing yourself in nature is a proven way to decrease anxiety, and relax the mind, according to Rocky Mountain Research. Nature has a soothing effect on the areas of our brains that focus on worry and negative thoughts. Although human beings evolved in a natural world full of green space, the majority of us currently live in urban and suburban areas...It's no surprise that we've become a bit disconnected from our past! Make a point to visit your nearest green space, hiking trail, or beach and hang out, walk, or simply relax and enjoy nature. Getting outdoors also boosts vitamin D levels from the sunshine, further protecting your mental health and immunity.
Write in a Journal
Journaling takes dedication, but for those willing to commit to a regular practice, many benefits are rewarded! Psych Central says that writing in a journal makes you feel better by allowing you to understand yourself a little better with each page written. Sometimes, feelings and thoughts don't make sense until you write them out. Consider using your journal to write down positive notes, things you are thankful for each day, and things that have made you smile. You might find that even on those tough days, you still have the ability to focus on the positive.
Get Some Exercise
Grandmaster Royal West has frequently said, "The Martial Arts are the most effective form of exercise. It's because of the belt system." Taekwondo is especially valuable because it works a large number of muscle groups and is demanding on the cardiovascular system. Practitioners should also supplement their routine with strength training and going on regular jogs. Not only will this routine keep you in shape, but will regulate endorphins and dopamine levels which will reduce sugar cravings, boost the immune system, and improve mood.
Make Room for Meditation
There are many ways to take part in a meditative practice. For some, this might mean partaking in a yoga class. For others, it might mean going to their place of worship, or simply taking time to sit still and not think about anything. Whichever way you choose to practice meditation, recognize the importance of taking a "time out" to empty your mind of the day's stresses.
Nutritional supplements combine well with other natural approaches to balance physical, mental and emotional health. Creating a holistic sense of wellness is a goal to strive for, and the benefits are absolutely worth it.
