Contest : Nurturing Healthy Lives

Source

Greetings steemians in this amazing and healthy community. Today I'm going to be talking about the efforts I make in order to take care of my personal health which includes : The way I manage stress, My choice of nutrition, taking care of myself and exercise routines. In this contest we will see the measures we can take in nurturing healthy lives.

I would like to begin now but before I do so I would like to invite @ngoenyi, @goodybest and @mesola. Hoping they will all participate let's proceed

• What small changes have you made to improve your overall health?
  I have been able to change my diet for example I love and eat sweets a lot so I've been able to adjust by eating only a little amount of sweets and then eating a lot of vegetables. I've also changed the routine of staying up late at night so that I could be able to wake up early in the morning without getting fatigued.

• How have you prioritised taking care of yourself physically and mentally?
  I have done that by being able to socialise with others and engage in many aspects of recreation such as football, ludo and cycling. I have also been able to get more sleep in other to improve my mental health

• What are your favourite ways to stay active and incorporate exercise into your daily routine?
  One of my favourite ways is jogging. I usually jog early in the morning after waking up from sleep. Another way is through walking. I usually like to walk during the morning as that helps in stretching my leg. Another form of exercise that I enjoy mostly is by playing football. I usually enjoy this form of exercise because I have fun when playing, burn a lot of calories in my body and end up exercising myself. This is my favourite out of the other forms of exercise.

• How do you manage stress and find balance in your busy life?
  I have discovered that lack of rest and sleep contribute greatly to stress so I have decided to be getting at least 7 hours of sleep in order to ease stress. I have also decided to take the measure of inhaling and exhaling for 5-10 seconds. This has helped me especially when I'm feeling stressed out our provoked. Another measure I've taken is by trying my best to stay away from bad news. I do this because bad news contributes to anxiety and that anxiety gives way to stress.

• How important is nutrition to you and how do you make healthy eating choices?
  Nutrition is very important in the life of an individual concerning healthy living. I usually like to eat a balanced diet containing all much vitamins, minerals and nutrients. I would likely recommend fruits and vegetables for a great diet. Then drinking a lot of water has helped too as it has been able to flush out impurities from the body.

In conclusion

I would like to appreciate @sahmie for organising and composing such a lovely contest. I also wish to say that I'm delighted in participating in this contest. I really hope you take some this measures seriously as it will enable us to stay healthy. I urge you all to stay healthy and safe, always exercise, have enough sleep and don't allow the weekend to weaken you.
