Even if it's just 10 minutes a day... 5 good things to stay healthy











Is there any way to keep healthy with simple activities for a short time every day? In this regard, based on data such as 'The Ladder.com', we look at tips to strengthen immunity and improve mood while protecting health from various chronic diseases.














1. Short workouts


According to a research team at Harvard University Medical School in the United States, people who exercise for 15 minutes every day live an average of 3 years longer than those who do not.


This is because even this short exercise has the effect of controlling cholesterol and blood sugar levels, which increase the risk of chronic diseases. The 15-minute period includes climbing the stairs every hour or two while working or doing moderate-intensity exercises such as jumping jacks for 20 to 30 seconds each.
















2. Increase mealtime


If you are a person who eats every meal in 10 minutes, try to increase the meal time by 5 minutes and eat more slowly. By giving your body time to get cues of fullness, you can naturally reduce the amount of food you eat.









In between meals, put the spoon on the table for a while, have a conversation with the people around you, and chew your food more meticulously. If you develop a habit of enjoying food, you can prevent overeating. By slowing down your eating speed and controlling your intake, you can also reduce the frequency of bloating.



3. Basking in the sun













A bench in the apartment complex during a quiet morning is good, and if you have more time, you can go out and sit on a bench in the park. Just a few minutes of sitting in the sunlight and looking around nature can have a mood-enhancing effect.

Seeing nature, hearing it with your ears, smelling it, and getting closer to it can help reduce anxiety and promote brain health.












4. Contact

  People with poor social ties had a 29% higher risk of coronary artery disease and a 32% higher risk of stroke.


  Therefore, even if it is difficult to have a large gathering due to COVID-19, it is good to regularly have time to ask your close friends and family members or have small conversations.
















5. Pack healthy snacks


If there is a part that needs to be improved or supplemented mentally or physically, making a snack plan accordingly is also a tip to take care of your health.


Studies have shown that people who regularly consume caffeine have a significantly lower risk of Alzheimer's disease than those who do not. It is analyzed that this is because certain substances that make up roasted coffee beans prevent plaque from building up in the brain.










For those who need to control their cholesterol levels, eating nuts can help lower bad cholesterol (LDL) levels and increase good cholesterol (HDL) levels. Nuts such as walnuts and almonds are rich in healthy fats, antioxidants, and various minerals.
