Physical Self Care Ideas
1 . Increase Your Levels Of Activity
It sounds counterproductive, doesn’t it? When your body is tired and maybe needs some TLC, making it partake in more physical activity doesn’t make sense, but actually, several publications states that plenty of regular exercise will go a long way towards keeping your body in the best possible shape.
Exercise reduces your risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and some cancers, and this potent effect results in what experts call “morbidity compression.” It basically means that you will be healthier in your later years than someone who spends the last few years of their life constantly fighting chronic illness.

2. Improve Your Diet
We almost all know that we should do this, but it is so important that it needs reminding. While a good diet is not going to mean that you are immune from everything, it will go a long way towards helping you to maintain a healthy weight and reduce all sorts of health issues. So, while that slice of cake or giant ice cream cone is not going to hurt as a once in a while treat, make sure that your everyday diet is jam-packed with fruit, veg, lean proteins, and healthy fats.
3. Ditch The Bad Habits
Yes, you know it. Smoking, taking drugs, drinking too much alcohol – all habits that while might give us a temporary good feeling have so many bad effects on our health. Reduce your alcohol intake by swapping at least every other one for a soft drink or juice, and aiming to have a few nights a week without any whatsoever. Smoking is a hard habit to crack – many people find that vaping with high vg is a step towards breaking the habit. If you rely on drugs to get you through the day, seek professional advice to help you find other ways of dealing with things.

4. Make sure that you are getting plenty of sleep
Sleep deprivation affects your memory, emotions, weight, and even your appearance. The older you get, the more difficult it is to fall and stay asleep, but you still require the same number of hours.
Most sleep problems, according to the National Sleep Foundation, are caused by snoring, medication side effects, and underlying medical conditions such as acid reflux, depression, and prostate problems. Addressing those concerns with your doctor is a good place to start. You can also get better sleep by creating a relaxing environment, allotting enough time for sleep, and practicing breathing exercises.
Here is a list of free sleeping apps you can easily download (downloadable links included) using your android and iOS mobile devices to help you sleep like a baby and always wake up refreshed and relaxed and ready for your day.
