Gardening: A Great Way To Better Health

Mar 242010

I worked for a big company for many years. It was stressful and I finally decided to quit and start a consulting business out of my home. It was great at first. I liked waking up when I wanted, working when I felt like it, and I loved being able to take a day off if I needed to do something important. After a few months though, I noticed I had put on several pounds. I was not overly concerned. I told myself I would start a workout routine after my business was settled.

Two years and fifty pounds later, I knew I really needed to do something drastic. But what? My business had taken off, and I never had time to work out! The freedom of being in control of my own schedule became an inability to stop working. I was fat, tired, stressed and starting to think about going back to an office job.

As a last resort, I decided I needed to join a gym. The commitment to the gym contract and the money I had to pay would force me to follow through. In fact, the more expensive the gym, the more guilty I would feel if I skipped a workout.

I kept putting it off. Then, one particularly stressful day, I made some coffee and went out on the back porch to take a break. It was a beautiful day, and I was feeling upset that I never got outside anymore. To distract me from all the negative thoughts and stress, I grabbed a book from the side table. It was a gardening book.

I had always loved everything about the idea of gardening and had always wanted to start a big one of my own. I could picture myself plunging my hands into the warm soil, watching the little seeds come up, getting to harvest my own fresh vegetables. For years I collected gardening books and articles, reading them and stacking them up for the one day I would finally be able to do it.

That’s when it hit me. Why join a gym and literally force myself to get exercise? I could spend the same amount of money on supplies for my garden. Instead of trudging along on a treadmill and staring at a wall, I could be hauling soil and hoeing rows. Instead of forcing myself, I could treat myself. I could do something to help myself live longer and be happier at the same time!

So I went for it. And though I won’t be getting into skinny jeans any time soon, I have lost some weight. But even better, I found an effective way to manage my stress while realizing a dream. There is nothing more soothing and satisfying to me than to take a basket outside and fill it with fresh vegetables from my garden. On a hectic day it is so easy to give myself permission to shut the door to my home office and go out in the garden for a half hour to recharge. When I crave a snack I graze in my garden or treat myself with a gardening article. My garden taught me being healthy is not just about weight. It’s about finding out how to be happy.

Becoming Motivated And Reaching Your Workout Goals

There are some people who jump up in the morning and run right out of the door and down to the gym. They are excited to get their workouts started. For them, there is absolutely no concern with self-motivation.

For the rest of us, it is more of a push. Granted, we want to see the results. But getting out of a bed that is warm and comfortable so we can exercise before the work day starts just is not all that appealing. How do you get over that and actually get the results you want?

One of the best ways to start yourself going to the gym on a regular basis is by hiring a personal trainer. Having to meet someone for an appointment often pushes you to get up and go. The important thing is that you get there.

Once you get to the gym, you have to figure out what to do. A trainer will take care of this for you and give you a muscle workout routine. When you barely have the energy to get up, it is a lot easier not to have to think as well. You can put your energy into working out and nothing else.

By working out with a trainer, you we will have a routine that targets all the muscles you want to work on. You also will ensure that each exercise is done properly so that you get the most out of it and do not get injured. A good trainer keeps you motivated and pushes you to do more than you would do by yourself. This also means your results will be better also.

When you are done working out, make sure you drink lots of water and stretch your muscles out. You want to be in good shape for the next session. You might want to invest in a Homedics massager so you can help relieve muscle tension as needed.

There is a natural inclination to reward yourself after a job well done. This can be a challenge because often the way we want to reward ourselves is counterproductive to the exercise. Frequently, we think about that slice of cheesecake or that cup of sugar-laden coffee. Instead, why not set some goals and get yourself a professional massage every time you reach one?

Once you start working out on a regular schedule, you may find yourself looking forward to it. When you start seeing the results, you will likely be more motivated to continue. Getting to the gym on a consistent basis can turn exercising into a good habit.

Why Sleep Is Important For Your Health

Many individuals do not get enough sleep, but what they do not know is that they are risking their health. In order to keep your body healthy you need to get at least 8 hours of sleep each night. Most people do not get enough sleep and when they are tired during the day they turn to caffeine.

In order to compensate for the lack of sleep the vast majority of individuals will turn to coffee or sugary foods to keep them alert and give them a boost of energy. While these foods may help for a very short time they cannot compete with a good night’s sleep and can actually make it more difficult for you to sleep the next night. They also have adverse health effects.

Sugar foods only provide a very short relief to your tiredness. When the sugar wears off you will crash and burn and be worse then you started. Most individuals find themselves to be even sleepier then before and much slower to react. Instead of sugar to keep you alert you should eat foods that combine some protein and carbohydrates. A great example is apple slices with peanut butter.

Coffee is regularly consumed for the caffeine to get you going. However the caffeine in the coffee you drank in the morning will stay in your body for up to 12 hours. The effects of that caffeine can last long after you have finished your coffee. If you have problems sleeping and drink a lot of coffee you should try not drinking coffee. If you feel you still need some caffeine in the morning then try chocolate or soda, as they have smaller amounts of caffeine.

Even decaffeinated coffee still contains caffeine. A cup of decaffeinated coffee has the same amount of coffee as a 12 oz bottle of soda. Decaffeinated coffee may be a good option if you are trying to cut back on your caffeine. Many people may become dependent on coffee and can have difficulties breaking the habit.

So in order to stay healthy try and cut out some of the caffeine and work on getting a good night’s sleep. Exercise can help if you have trouble falling asleep at night.
