Affordable Ways to Improve Your Health on a Daily Basis

I am so excited to feature a special lady on my blog. Jodi Weaver is someone who I have looked up to for many years in the essential oil industry. She is also a health coach with the FASTer Way to Fat Loss, so I asked her if she would like to be a guest on the blog to help my audience with their health goals. I am happy to share this post with you, written by Jodi, about how you can improve your health in an affordable way.

Improve Your Health by FASTer Way to Fat Loss Coach Jodi Weaver

Adding new healthy habits can feel overwhelming. Being inundated with the latest eating plans, the newest organic superfood drink, trendy gym classes — it can all be a lot. And, it can get expensive fast!  A healthy lifestyle doesn’t have to be that way, and today I’m including seven ways that you can improve your health for little to no cost at all.

Be Physically Active

You don’t need a gym membership or personal trainer to move your body. There are loads of free resources on the internet for workouts that you can do at home with no equipment at all. You can also go for a walk or run outside when the weather is nice. If you wish, you can invest in minimal equipment, such as resistance bands, to increase the intensity of your at-home workouts without breaking the bank. However, if you are like me and even though you know what to do and don’t currently do it, you may want a coach or some accountability!  I am a FASTer Way to Fat Loss Coach, and that’s exactly what I do!  Hold you accountable and teach you how to fuel your body properly and get the best results with workouts in 30 minutes or less.

Intermittent Fasting

Lately, many scientific studies have been demonstrating that intermittent fasting can give you tremendous health benefits. You can choose a split that works best for you and your schedule, but the most common breakdown is an 8-hour eating frame and a 16-hour fast. This isn’t just great for weight and fat loss; studies have shown that it can improve cell regeneration and help prevent illness. Check with your medical professional to make sure fasting is right for you.  And, if it is this is one of my favorite strategies of the FASTer Way.  You can learn more about it here www.peppermintandgrapefruit.com.

Take Cold Showers

Cold showers can stimulate your nervous system and improve your heart rate. Try to take a cold shower first thing in the morning—not only will it really wake you up, but it can also improve heart health.

Meditate

Meditating is good for both the body and mind. Take time to meditate each day, and you will notice a dramatic decrease in your stress levels, which not only makes you feel happier and more relaxed but also improves your physical health. When we are stressed out, our bodies release too much cortisol— our stress hormone— which can increase inflammation and have negative effects on our physical health. By de-stressing, you can take care of your mental and physical health.

Practice Your Breathing

Take some time each day to completely clear your mind and focus solely on your breathing. Practice taking slow, deep breaths instead of the short and shallow breathing that we often unconsciously do when we’re feeling stressed. This can also be part of your meditation practice.

Drink Enough Water

Water is the healthiest thing you can drink —and it is free. Make sure you’re drinking half of your body weight in oz of water each day and make it a habit to drink a big glass first thing in the morning. If you want to do a little extra, you can have a cup of warm lemon water in the morning to kickstart your metabolism and make you feel like you started your day on a healthy note. That way, you’ll be more inclined and motivated to keep up the healthy habits for the rest of the day.

Spend Time in Nature

You don’t need to exercise outside every day, but you should spend at least 30 minutes in nature, whether you’re moving your body or just sitting in the park. Spending time in nature is fantastic for reducing stress and clearing our minds. The fresh air is good for waking you up if you feel groggy or unmotivated.
