There is no magical formula for maintaining health. Good health results from many habits: moving more, getting enough sleep, creating a comfortable home environment, and more. This article offers several tips for staying healthy.
1. Listen to music at lower volumes
Listening to music at high volumes through headphones for long periods harms your hearing. For safety, keep the volume below the midpoint and try to hear normal speech around you.
2. Take care of indoor plants
Having a few plants at home or office helps increase attention and lower blood pressure. Even one plant aids relaxation and cognitive function.
3. Make daily walking a habit
There is no single recommended number of steps, but walking reduces risks of heart disease, cancer, and premature death. For maximum benefit, 10,000 steps a day is advised.
4. Eat properly
Food is important for energy. When sleep-deprived, the body craves quick energy (sugar). It is recommended not to go more than 4 hours between meals.
5. Don’t brush teeth immediately after eating
The acidity in your mouth after eating can harm teeth. It is recommended to wait 20-30 minutes before brushing.
