Have you ever tried to stimulate your body and resort in things like coffee, cigarettes, diet pills, drugs to try to help our body to stay awake?

In actual facts, these stimulants can cause harm to the body and may lead to a loss of energy and emotional symptoms such as depression, headaches and illnesses. These stimulants are accumulated in our body as toxins.

There are basically 2 kinds of toxins - Exogenous and Endogenous. Exogenous toxins come from external sources for instances - car fumes, tobacco smoke, air and factory pollution, etc. Endogenous toxins derive from viral or bacterial infection. Besides this 2 toxins, our body also creates its own toxins known as Autogenous toxins.

With detoxification, our body and organs can eliminate these harmful substances. However there is a limit to how much our body can detoxify by itself. With constant absorption of toxins, even the strongest body would not be able to eliminate or reduce these toxins. And with the accumulation of these toxins, these toxins would be the causes of diseases and illnesses.

Fine living is often associated with people of a higher socioeconomic class. This is simply not the case though, and it seems people are finding ways to give their lifestyle lift, perhaps in the form of a healthy lifestyle choices such as planting an herb garden, growing ones own vegetables and participating in family activities that are fun but not necessarily cost much.

There are a variety of magazines, websites, blogs and television shows now dedicated to fine living, and healthy life style options. Life style lift is a term that often refers to enhancing, or improving ones life and others in positive ways.

It’s essential to understand the effects that of stress on various areas of your life. It doesn’t only your mental well-being-it can also cause physical symptoms as well. Fortunately there are ways to eliminate the effects of stress and improve your quality of life.

Common Physical Effects of Stress

Most people are familiar with the common effects of stress such as tension headaches, stomach ulcers, and acne, but many people don’t realize the effects stress can have on your health in the long-term. For instance, did you know that stress can cause asthma symptoms? I was unaware of this effect until I was treated for a recurring case of bronchitis that also caused wheezing. At the time I was working full-time, going to college full-time, raising three kids including a problematic teenager, and dealing with the effects of a dead marriage. It took a three week trip away from everything to help with the stress and get me back on track without the inhaler the doctor had prescribed.

We struggle daily to try and improve our lives. It is natural and inherent in our make-up as human beings. We constantly try to improve ourselves as individuals.

There are many aspects to our make up however and it is necessary to bring these different aspects of our lives into balance in order to achieve the lifestyle and level of wellbeing that we aspire to.

We need to consider such things as our diet, our levels of fitness, our general health our spirituality, our general behaviour, our values and our beliefs. This list is not exhaustive by any means but is a good list to start with.

Of the above list I feel there are 7 areas of our lives that if managed correctly will lead to a much greater level of contentment within ourselves and will ultimately lead to a much greater level of wellbeing.

The way of leading life changes over time with advent of civilization and rapid technical progress. Lifestyle changes are far too rapid and the human body at times fails to keep pace with rapid living changes. The result is rather alarming and the number of lifestyle related diseases is reaching alarming proportions.

High blood cholesterol, diabetes, high blood pressure, depression and obesity are products of rapid lifestyle changes. A sedentary lifestyle, switching away from traditional diets and hooking more towards fast food and constant work pressure is churning up new diseases which otherwise could have been avoided. Therefore, what is required is a carefully planned healthy lifestyle. Exercises, healthy diet and a positive attitude towards life can work wonders. Most of the lifestyle related diseases we find are interrelated. It is like a downward spiral, one leads to the other and the chain goes on. It is pertinent to break this viscous circle. The traditional diets, folk medicine and traditional physical and breathing exercises can help us a long way in our quest to lead a healthy life.
