Pay more attention to your posture. When you spend long hours working at a desk, slouching and pulling your neck in, your lungs get compressed, reducing the amount of air you can inhale. Without enough oxygen, your muscles become “starved” and tire much more quickly.
The habit of bending your head down while working also puts extra strain on your back muscles, which often leads to headaches.
Overexertion can also stem from poor nutrition. Your body needs a balanced intake of everything essential: meat, dairy, vegetables, and fruits. Therefore, women looking to lose weight should consult a doctor before restricting their diets. A good rule of thumb is to cut back on sweets, pastries, and desserts. To maintain a slim waist and stay fit, dedicate just 15 minutes to physical exercise. We suggest a set of exercises to be performed 5-6 times.
No one can deny that our well-being affects our mood and productivity. Yet, it often seems like there’s never enough time for everything: sewing a collar onto your daughter’s uniform (even though she could do it herself by now), ironing your son’s pants (because he hasn’t quite mastered it yet), and countless other tasks. But when it comes to taking care of yourself, there’s never enough time. However, there are simple “remedies” that can help improve your well-being.
More and more doctors are expressing concern over illnesses caused by hypodynamia—the result of a sedentary lifestyle. Hypodynamia can also lead to poor blood circulation and decreased muscle tone. One simple exercise to counteract this is a full-body stretch that engages your back and calf muscles. Walking has been widely discussed, and it’s worth reminding you that it stimulates circulation and serves as the best massage for your internal organs.
