The Medicine We Don’t Know About

You can walk into a store with a general perception of what we want, and walk out arms laden having spent a couple of hundred of dollars, having all of these things which can increase our metabolism, strengthen our stamina and promise hangover-free days following a night out from drinking … when all you wanted was something to perk you up in the daytime. So what can we look out for to get us to where we really need to be?

Water

The most obvious option out there. Water is a miracle in itself. It helps to give us life, it sustains us, helps us to concentrate, gets our organs working … whatever the problem is, water is often the solution when it comes to our health. We need to be drinking a lot more of it. Take the amount that you’re drinking now and double it, and you may just come close. There are some pretty nifty products out on the market such as the bottle and app found on trago.co which will help you to monitor your consumption. It doesn’t have to be hard, and water is one of the most accessible things that we are lucky enough to have in first-world countries – so why aren’t we making more use of it? Get a good few liters inside you every day and feel the benefits. You will start to feel more energized, more alert and your concentration levels should be back somewhere around the point that they should be operating at.

Superfoods

Everyone has surely heard about the benefits of adding superfoods to your diet, but few know exactly what they are. These foods are packed with minerals, vitamins and antioxidants to help you boost your immune system and fend off any untoward illnesses that may occur. Chances are that you are already including some into your diet without realizing; kale, salmon and blueberries are all terrific examples of superfoods, amongst many others. It’s not hard to get them into your diet once you know what they are, and the benefits of eating them are tremendous.

Laughter

The old adage is that laughter is the best form of medicine, but it could be doing more for your health than you think. Not only does it burn around 40 calories if you’re laughing for 10 – 15 minutes a day (and who wouldn’t want to aim for that amount?!) but it is great for relaxing the body and naturally releasing endorphins and antibodies into the immune system that will help to lower the risk of heart disease. So get your happy head on and start doing something funny – it’s your health that’s demanding it!
