Bella Counselling December 2010 Newsletter

Despite the fact that medical science can keep us alive longer ~ only by taking personal responsibility for our health and well-being can individuals make that extra time useful and enjoyable.

Healthy Living Tips for Enhancing our Well-Being during this busy Holiday Season

Being Healthy and Fit includes everything from getting proper sleep to proper nutrition; from stress reduction to weight reduction, and from flexibility to balance and relaxation.  Health and fitness is important because it helps our brains to  function properly.  The healthier and fitter our bodies are, the healthier our brains are going to be.  Fitness not only helps  to strengthen our muscles, it sharpens our mind, and improves our creativity and productivity.

A good laugh and a long sleep are some of Mother Nature’s best preventions and cures.

We’ve all heard of “beauty sleep” ~ there is a reason it is called that: when we are sleeping our cells renew and regenerate themselves.  Sleep deprivation can not only affect our appearance, it also affects our immune system,   making it weaker, and leaving us vulnerable to viruses, illnesses and infections.

Studies show that chronic lack of sleep can actually alter the balance of hormones that help regulate appetite.   So if we do not regularly get at least seven hours of sleep a night it might leave us hungrier and ultimately heavier.

During this holiday season it can be easy to fall into an inconsistent sleep schedule with parties, travel, holiday preparation, and all our other commitments.  We actually feel better and are able to accomplish more if we maintain a regular and restful sleep routine.
