Tomorrow is World Health Day!

Each World Day focuses on an international topic.

The first World Day was proclaimed by the United Nations (UN) on October 31, 1947. Today, the UN and its sub-organizations have more than 100 official international World Days.

For your inspiration, we have collected some very simple health tips to mark World Health Day tomorrow:

 

  1. get a few houseplants. They purify the air in your home and some of them also smell very nice.
  2. allow yourself more sunshine – between 10 and 30 minutes depending on the season and time of day.
  3. park a little further away on purpose. This will not only give you more exercise, but also a bit of sunshine when the weather is good.
  4. replace soft drinks and other beverages with filtered tap water or a varied range of herbal teas.
  5. eat some raw vegetables (e.g. cucumber, peeled carrots, tomatoes, etc.) or a crunchy leaf salad before every meal.
  6. look out for a farmers’ market, farm or farmer in your area where you can buy freshly harvested food.
  7. extend your daily exercise program by 5 minutes – or start an exercise program of 5 minutes a day today! You can increase this slowly. 20 to 30 minutes a day is worth its weight in gold, but even 3 x 30 minutes a week will go a long way.
  8. drink a green smoothie from time to time.
  9. take a hot relaxing bath. You can also add bath salts or calming herbs such as lavender or uplifting herbs such as rosemary to the water.
  10. go out into nature again and consciously experience it with all your senses.
  11. switch to healthy fats, e.g. virgin olive oil or high-quality organic linseed oil or hemp oil.
  12. review your sleeping habits and make sure you get at least 7.5 hours of sleep every night. A fixed rhythm will help you fall asleep and give your day structure.
  13. incorporate more bitter substances into your diet – e.g. in the form of bitter salads such as chicory, endive or dandelion root, milk thistle seeds, artichoke and kelp.
  14. give up your TV from time to time or think about what you want to watch and how much time you want to spend in front of it before you switch it on.
  15. grow your own sprouts, e.g. with a sprouting device or some sprouting jars. Eating just 30 grams of sprouts a day will strengthen your immune system and prevent cancer.

Sunny greetings and stay healthy!
