[Contest by @infinityroad] How Do I Increase My Health

Hi my friends,

I'm very eager to join contest hosted by Hive account@infinityroad. He is an active and great Dtuber in here. On the occasion of celebrating his first 6 months on Steemit, he decided to host the meaningful contest because his contest inspire more and more people to a healthy lifestyle with more activity in everyday life. You can check out the rule here

And here is my post.

You know, I did not pay much attention to protecting my health until I got a severe illness two months ago. I have bronchitis - a disease that pursued me when I was a child.

It totally knocked me down. I can not say, can not walk because I feel very difficult to breathe. My body is totally depressed, and has no self-control. I took a lot of antibiotics. But I still can not fully recover.

I had to stop teaching at school for a while. And it reduces my earning so much. My family is in a difficult situation.

At this point my spirit also decreased. During the day, I was in a state of pain and pressure because of lack of money. That's why my body is not able to recover quickly.

And I realized that, without health, this life does not mean anything. And I think, if I keep my health and my mind at bad way, maybe I will not live for a long time. I asked myself "Why I have to accept this miserable life?"

So, I decided to change this habit of living, I want to improve my spiritual life. Since I know that in order to have a good health, there must first be a good spirit

Then, I have set myself a plan to live more positively. Firstly I focus on raising the spirit, then physically after that

Getting Up Early

When I get up early, I feel refreshed, feel more relaxed and comfortable. I usually wake up at 4.30 AM. The first time for me, getting up early was difficult. Not a few times I was about to give up midway. Because the bed seemed so attractive to lie down.

At this point I have devised a way that I think is extremely effective. That is to keep the alarm clock out of my reach. Last night I told her husband to hide the alarm clock anywhere it was hard to find, and didn't let me know.

So the next morning when the alarm rang, I could not sleep. I have no choice but to step out of bed and find the alarm .

Of course, that's enough time for me to fully awake.

Going To Bed Early

You will not be able to wake up early without a full night's sleep. I usually go to bed at 9 PM. A good night's sleep will help the body regenerate lost energy, helps the body relax and function effectively the next day.

I have trouble sleeping and often dream around. I can not sleep well. So I did some of the following to help me sleep better.

I do not watch TV, sit in front of a laptop or phone for 30 minutes before going to bed. Because technology devices often make me nervous and stressful.

Furthermore, I usually plan things to do the next day. It is best to burn it and forget about it until you wake up. I do not want to fall asleep and just think of the next day's work.

Reading Books

I often read books before going to sleep. The books I read often involve parenting and changing myself. So reading doesn't only help me improve my knowledge, it also makes me feel more relaxed, soothing. It helps me answer the questions, the questions that only when reading, I have answers for myself. I feel stressed out and regained balance in life.

Drinking Turmeric Powder After Waking Up

In Vietnam, we think that drinking a little bit of turmeric powder in the morning after waking up is good for health.

Curcumin in turmeric is a potent antioxidant that can reduce cholesterol levels - one of the major causes of atherosclerosis.

Recipe:

• 2 teaspoons of turmeric powder

• 1 tablespoon of honey

• 100 ml of warm water

• All stir and drink every morning

Doing Morning Exercises

The first thing after waking up is doing exercise. My hobbies are outdoor activities, so I choose running.

From the beginning I didn't run a lot, and very quickly tired. Maybe because I'm not familiar to this. So, in order to adapt gradually for my body, I don't run a lot at first. I walked gently, then slowly accelerated.

One thing I usually do before running that is warming up. Before running I warmed up my body with a lot of movement such as : deep breathing or stomping in place for 5 to 10 minutes to allow the body to adapt to early morning air.

Another thing is that I always bring water with me. During the run I usually take small sips of water.
If I don't make up for the amount of water and the ion in time, my body will feel exhausted, dizziness will appear quickly to reduce the effect of running.

Change your mind and your life will follow
