Mental and Physical Wellness




Your health is not exclusively about what you eat but you need to exercise as well to stay fit. Make sure you stay hydrated by drinking enough water. An adequate intake of water would be eight 8-ounce glasses or half a gallon.

Mental wellness is just as important as physical wellness. A way to sharpen your mental strength is to practice yoga and/or meditation to help you relax and to live a healthier life.

Yoga can be both physical and mental exercises that originate from Hinduism. Here are some basic yoga exercises for beginners to try:


1.      Lie down on your back and relax. Feel the air around you, and breathe it in and out. Try to relax your body, and clear your mind of thoughts.
2.      Raise the outstretched right leg and hold it in the air. Then raise the left leg in the air and hold it.
3.      Raise both legs and the head in the air. Hold it as long as possible and breathe, relaxed, on your belly.
