Are you looking after yourself?

In today’s world, people are always searching for ways of keeping fit and healthy. Here are some of the ways of looking good and feeling good.
1. Running is excellent exercise. Before you start running, you should warm up first, using slow movements that make all your muscles work. But be careful! If you stretch when your muscles are cold, you might cause an injury. Always wear comfortable clothing and make sure your trainers are in good shape. If you wear shoes that give good support to your whole foot, you will put less pressure on your knees. You should start exercising slowly.
2. It’s OK if you go to bed late occasionally, but if you regularly cut down on your sleep, it will soon start to have a bad effect on your skin. If you get a good night’s rest, it will do your appearance the world of good. Lack of sleep can cause acne or dry skin. Make sure you get a good night’s sleep by going to bed and getting up at regular times. During the day, keep active: if you don’t get enough exercise during the day, you may end up sleepless all night.
3. Did you know that standing, sitting and walking badly can make you look heavier than you really are? If we watched the way we sat and stood, it would improve our appearance a great deal. Stand in front of the mirror with your feet apart and your legs straight. Pull in your tummy, check that your ears, shoulders, hips, knees and ankles are in line with each other. You should be feeling and looking better already!
4. Most of us live in large polluted cities. If we got more fresh air, we would look healthier and more attractive. A quick and energetic walk is one of the best things you can do for your circulation and appearance. Walking slowly is useful, but a quick pace gets more oxygen into your lungs. So don’t just go for a pleasant walk, try to find an area that doesn’t have much pollution and get moving.
5. Many young people feel guilty about eating too much chocolate, and some even say they are addicted to it. Chocolate contains a lot of fat and therefore it is better to eat less. However, if your diet is balanced, you needn’t feel guilty: consuming the right amount is fine – but don’t eat it instead of a proper meal
