Health Its not just about diets but about Sleep, Breathing, Resting, Quality of Food, Drinking Water Rest Rest is one of the greatest gifts God gave to mankind. Rest is synonymous to peace. Naturally, we link rest with sleep. But I think we should look at rest more like we of stop doing what we are doing AND start placing our trust in peace and love. to start BEING the person we are called to be to reset our being. Like resting in God. It is placing trust and faith in him. In the work that's He has already been done. I think daily we should rest in our God to spend with him that can take forms in many ways. Reading, Gardening, Walking, Sitting or however you find peace and tranquility. What about thinking how we can stop stressing and worrying ? To learn to work each problem the best we can then once we have done that we stand trusting life will all work its self out or as we rest more will be revealed for us to do. But not worried or stressing Breathing

To keep it short We often don't breath like we should during covid I was taught we don't breath correctly and they have me doing breathe exercises. With a deep breaths in through your nose and blowing out slowly threw your mouth like blowing threw a straw do that 10 times. The Wim Hof technique One round of the Wim Hof Method breathing technique includes these steps:

1. Take in a strong inhalation through the nose.
2. Let out a relaxed exhalation through the mouth.
3. Repeat for 30 breaths.
4. On the 30th breath, exhale to 90 percent and hold for as long as you can.
5. When you feel your body really needs to take a breath, inhale fully and hold for 15 seconds before releasing.
6. The basic technique involves three consecutive rounds of the above.

Eventually, the breathing may feel like a wave flowing through your lungs, but this will take practice. Proponents say the technique can lead to:

Water

Most of us don't drink enough water and we are in a state dehydration we should drink around 1 gallon of water every day. Signs of mild or moderate dehydration include:

• Thirst
• Dry or sticky mouth
• Not peeing very much
• Dark yellow pee
• Dry, cool skin
• Headache
• Muscle cramps

Signs of severe dehydration include:

• Not peeing or having very dark yellow pee
• Very dry skin
• Feeling dizzy
• Rapid heartbeat
• Rapid breathing
• Sunken eyes
• Sleepiness, lack of energy, confusion or irritability
• Fainting

We tend to think that dehydration looks like fainting, severe headaches, and being hooked up to an IV. But the truth is that the majority of us (more than 75% of adults!) are living with chronic mild dehydration, which means our bodies are being forced to operate with less fluid than they require. A decrease in your hydration as little as 1-3% can result in a measurable cognitive loss and not only can it lead to the ailments listed above, it can also lead to more serious health concerns and disease.

Quality of Food

• It is high in sugar and calories and low in nutrients and fibre. It can, over time, lead to insulin resistance, triglycerides, harmful cholesterol and other health issues.
• Processed foods are very addictive because companies do research to see what tickles our taste buds the most. They incorporate it into their foods to encourage us to eat it more.
• It contains artificial ingredients like preservatives and additives that are not nutritious and are harmful to health.

Sleep

6-8 hours of sleep is important we need all the sleeping cycles not just partial night sleep, while we sleep we heal, we lose weight, our body rebuilds it self. Matthew Walker offers five key tips to help your future be filled with an easier sleeping process:

• Try to maintain regularity. Go to bed at the same time every night and wake up at the same time every morning.
• We need darkness in the evening to allow the release of a hormone called melatonin. Melatonin helps us maintain a healthy sleep time. Therefore, try to dim down half the lights in your home in the hour before bed.
• Keep your sleeping environment as cool as possible. An optimal temperature is about 68 degrees Fahrenheit Your brain and body need to drop their core temperature by about two or three degrees Fahrenheit to initiate good sleep. Hence, you'll always find it easier to fall asleep in a room that's too cold than too hot.
• Avoid alcohol and caffeine. Alcohol is perhaps the most misunderstood drug when it comes to sleep. People believe it helps them fall asleep. That's not true. Alcohol is a type of sedative, which means alcohol is basically just knocking your brain out. You're not putting it into natural sleep. Research suggests that alcohol will fragment your sleep. So, you'll wake up many more times throughout the night. Finally, alcohol also blocks dream sleep. Caffeine is also a problem. Many of us know that caffeine can keep us awake as it is a stimulant. However, few people know that even if you fall asleep fine and maybe you stay asleep after a coffee, the depth of your deep sleep will be lessened.
• Do not stay in bed, awake. If you haven't fallen asleep within 20 or so minutes, or you've woken up and you're finding it difficult to fall back asleep, don't stay in bed awake. Your brain quickly learns an association between your bed and being awake. Therefore, get up and go to another room.

"The shorter your sleep, the shorter your life. The leading causes of disease and death in developed nations—diseases that are crippling health-care systems, like heart disease, obesity, dementia, diabetes, and cancer—all have recognized causal links to a lack of sleep." – Matthew Walker
