London Finest Supplements Top 8 Health Tips

Tip 1 Drink the correct type and amount of water

It is essential to drink pure water. We would only last a few days without it. Being dehydrated by only 5% can be critical to your health. Also the quality of the water you drink will have an effect on your ability to think, digest food, detox and move effectively, so ideally drink bottled water and the best ones to drink include: Evian, Vital, Highland Spring and Fiji or use a top quality water filter in your home if you can get one.

The right amount of water to drink is dependent on your bodyweight.

To work out the amount of water you need to drink on a daily basis in liters, from your bodyweight in kilos is done like this.

E:g. for someone who weights 80kg:

80kg x0.033 = 2.64 litres of pure water a day (minimum)

So an 80kg individual would need a minimum of 2.64 liters of pure water per day. If the day has been hot and you have been sweating a lot during the day, drank a lot of alcohol the night before, had a stomach bug or lost a lot of fluids another way then you will need more than your minimum amount per day.

Tip 2 Get your hands on the best quality food as much as possible

Feeding your body with the best quality foods as much as possible is critical when it comes to your overall well being and improving your body shape. Below is a list of best types of foods to get your hands on. Number 1 is the best and number 7 is the worst some may fall on the same number but just to give you an idea:

1- Wild crafted
2- Organic / free range / raw / locally farmed
3- Organic not locally farmed
4- Locally farmed food
5- Free range / non organic
6- Proceed (frozen)
7- Economy food stuffs- only buy stuff you would not eat in this category: eg toilet paper, party plates, disposable knife and forks etc

Tip 3 Eat right for you

Eating good quality for you is great but you also need to eat right for you. In other words eat according to genetic and ethnic background. You can find this out by a process called Metabolic Typing®. In short there a three types of people. They are a protein, carbohydrate and a mixed type. If a protein types eats like a carbohydrate type it will make that personal feel unwell, sluggish or too hyper, tired and can cause mental fog and much more. So it is a good idea to find out what your metabolic type is; I can do this for you.

Tip 4 Get enough sleep

We all know what it feels like not having enough sleep. Because all you want to do is get back into bed and catch up on lost sleep. Not only having little sleep lowers your ability to think, it has many negative health effects on the body as a whole. As a rule of thumb we should be asleep by 10 to 10.30 in a quite pitch black room, with a window open for fresh air, all electrical equipment should switched off if possible and at least three feet away from us. We should wake up around 6.30 if where getting to bed by 10.00. But this can vary from one person to the next depending on lifestyle factors.

Tip 5 Reduce your external stress levels

Controlling your external stress levels can be tricky to do, as you cannot control everything outside of yourself. But sometimes you can choose what to do like deciding hanging around with like minded people, keeping away from negative people, not driving in busy traffic all the time, setting goals, leaving a job you don’t want to be in and doing what you want in life just. Too many external stresses will raise your stress hormone levels. Raising then too much and often can lead to things like adrenal fatigue, headaches, digestive disorders, poor sleep, immune suppression, weight gain and illnesses.

Meditation, taking baths, listening to relaxing music, going for walks, having massages, being in the right job or business, hanging around like minded people etc will help to lower these external stress levels.

Tip 6 Get adequate movement / exercise for you

Getting the correct amount of exercise is vital for a healthy body. It helps to pump toxins out of the body, aid digestion, elevate the rate that you burn calories, keeps your body fat low, makes you stronger, make you feel better, improve your confidence and much, much more. The difference between a movement and an exercise is that a movement is only performed once and an exercise is performed a number of times, which is normally know as repetitions

But you must know that exercise is another form of stress on the body, it's a positive one but too much of it will break your body down. Keep in mind if your body is already under a lot of stress from not eating well, not getting enough sleep, having too many external stresses, having an infection of some sort will put a limiting factor on how much and how hard you exercise. In short the healthier you are to harder you can push in the gym.

Also remember the body is a biological computer that is easily programmed either good or bad from doing exercise. This is why we follow an exercise program it doesn’t matter if it’s written down or in your head you’re still programming your body in a certain way. Just like a computer programmer types in certain codes into a piece of software (the cause) to make it function (the effect) in a certain way. It’s the same as repeating a certain movement over and over again in the gym, if the movement is bad then the result is bad i.e. an injury, poor movement or poor posture. So learn to use correct exercise technique and program design this is when a good personal trainer can really help you!
