Sleep: It is important to get enough sleep. When we sleep our body and the systems in it need this time to regenerate, rebuild and renew. Without enough sleep you can’t fight the aging process.
Relax: Take 10-15 minutes every day to close your eyes. Begin by taking 3 deep breaths, in through the nose and out through the mouth. Visualize your body relaxing starting at your toes, your shins, your knees, your hips, your belly, your chest, your throat, your face, head, shoulders, and hands. Once relaxed, take three more deep breaths. Remind yourself how important your health and well being are to you. Slowly open your eyes and take three more deep breaths. You are now on your way to a happier and more focused day. Stress causes the body to make an unhealthy amount of cortisol (belly fat) which is toxic and causes free-radicals to attack your system which results in pre-mature aging.
Water: Take your body weight divide it in half and you have your ounces calculated for your daily intake of water. Water flushes the system of impurities; balances body temperature, and helps all organs function efficiently.
Liver Function: Metabolizes proteins, fats, and carbohydrates to provide energy and nutrients. Stores vitamins (A, E, D, K) minerals and sugars, filters blood, helps remove harmful bacteria. Creates bile (stored in gallbladder) which breaks down fats. It is the organ that represents vitality and longevity.
