Health.....

After just watching the Woman's World Cup between the USA & Japan I am going to be sure to add “Health” as the next great association to your bliss. The dominance all these woman allowed us to take witness too is beyond inspiring and if your adrenalin was not pumping during this game, then you just might be dead because it was fantastic! The sculpted bodies on these women showed their power & strength that keeps them going. Below I’ve listed items with health that I’m sure all the woman of the USA Soccer Team would surely agree with, you can’t get as far as they do without taking care of your health.
1) Laugh out loud. Laughing releases endorphins and lowers levels of stress hormones.
2) Get more fresh air. Fresh air is invigorating!
3) Work out. Exercising can not only make you feel better about yourself, it also releases endorphins in your body to give you a natural high…..so why not…it’s so natural!
4) Eat chocolate….duh…this is a given.
5) Meditate.
6) Get a massage. Besides its relaxing properties, the touch involved in massage creates warmth in your body and releases the chemical oxytocin—also known as the cuddle hormone.
7) Have sex…another duh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
8) Getting enough exposure to the sun has been proven to be crucial to happiness and well-being….so get that vitamin D. I can attest to this during the winter at times.
9) Drink coffee. Coffee is the world's most popular mood-enhancing drug, but remember to drink in moderation.
10) Eat more spinach. Popeye's favorite green is packed with folic acid, an important vitamin that boosts serotonin production.
11) Eat more colorful fruits and vegetables. They contain antioxidants which help remove toxins from our bodies that cause stress and aging.
12) Get enough sleep. Sleeping for 8 hours per night can elevate your mood and better prepare you to greet the day.
13) Take vitamin C. Keeping your immune system happy will keep you happy.
Remember, if you’re getting light winded too easily, then you’re not getting enough oxygen to the brain, and well then it can all go downhill from there, let that be your first & only sign to be sure to exercise, lose weight if needed, and build your strength so you can conquer anything, mostly your bliss!
