Bathroom Singing<\/h5>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>
<\/p>\n

Singing in the shower is a stress buster and also acts to lift your mood. Many therapists have noted the importance of this kind of activity and some studies have even shown that singing can enhance the body\u2019s immunity by activating the spleen and increasing the percentage of antibodies. And for those of you who can\u2019t sing to save your life \u2013 cheer up, you don\u2019t need to be the next Lady Gaga or Elvis Presley to stay healthy \u2013 you just need to belt out a few words; and never mind if it\u2019s not in tune!<\/p>\n

Saying Goodnight<\/h5>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>
<\/p>\n

Often, not getting enough sleep is the root cause of fatigue. Here\u2019s a simple but powerful tip if you want to see an immediate difference in your health and energy levels: go to bed on time every day and make sure you get a full night\u2019s sleep of 6- 8 hours at least. Without the correct amount of sleep, the brain doesn\u2019t function properly, the digestive system can be adversely affected and certain hormones do not function as they should. Most importantly, you need to establish and stick to a healthy sleep rhythm (even during weekends!) to maintain your wellbeing. So say goodnight to keep these problems at bay.<\/p>\n

Device Shutdown<\/h5>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>
<\/p>\n

In addition to saying goodnight and going to bed, shutting down your electronics is of utmost importance.These devices emit blue light (more than what\u2019s found in natural light) which adversely affects levels of the sleep-inducing hormone melatonin and resets the body\u2019s internal clock to a later schedule, while alerting the brain to stay awake. This, in turn, can lead to interrupted sleep and feelings of fatigue. To make sure you stay away from this devastating effect of blue light, turn off all electronic devices an hour or two before bedtime. Wind down with a book or any other activity that doesn\u2019t involve staring at a screen. Taking a warm shower or sipping on a herbal tea infusion can also promote better sleep and leave you fresh and energized the next morning<\/p>\n

Walking the Talk<\/h5>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>
<\/p>\n

Recent studies* have proven that people with sedentary jobs are at higher risk for heart disease. Since so much of our lives are dependent on our phones, perhaps adjusting our habits as we use our phones could be beneficial. Walking around while on a call is one way to make sure that our lives are a little less sedentary and healthier. Walking for five minutes every hour elevates the mood and can reduce stress and lethargy as well. So the next time you have a work call, squeeze in a workout for your body too!<\/p>\n

Small changes lead to big rewards. So take baby steps to a healthier you, starting today!<\/p>\n
