5. Monitor Your Results & Adjust If Necessary

Monitor how far you have come from time to time. If you feel that something is not benefitting you then ommit it from your plan.

Likewise, if something is really benefitting you, then stick with it.

Just always make sure your are monitoring your results and adjust if you feel so. Also make sure to pat yourself on back when you accomplish one of your health goals.

Optimum health is everyone's birthright, however, you must choose to create this level of health. No one else can make sure you eat right and exercise and treat your body as temple it is.

Only you can put substances into your body and only you can make decisions that will impact your health.

If you want optimum health then you must follow habits that create optimum health. You get what you give. If you give your body low nutritious food then you will get back what you put in.

If you eat healthy and love your body then you will experience great health.

To Your Health,

Rino had chronic fatigue syndrome for over 4 years and healed himself with holistic health strategies.His first book "How To Create & Maintain Optimum Health For Life" is a must see for anyone who is serious about feeling the best they can. Rino has received great feedback from this book:

The more sleep we have, less time we stay awake to create our sleep quality for following night. Our body does not get exposed to sufficient sunlight to lower our melatonin levels, so we stay sleepy throughout day.

The deeper stages of sleep (stages 3 and 4) are most restorative. This is where body regenerates. Most of stage 3 and 4 sleep takes place in first 4 hours of our sleep. The rest of night is spent in REM (dreaming) sleep and lighter stages. Stages 3 and 4 are also where immune system repairs and strengthens itself. It is vital to get this type of quality sleep.

A good start is to make sure we get enough exercise during day, this gives us a three-fold benefit. It gets us out into sunlight which reduces our melatonin levels, it raises our body temperature so we feel energized and it tires us in a healthy way so we can have more deep sleep at night.

So when you come home from work feeling worn out and weary, don't veg out in front of TV. Put on those sneakers and go for a brisk walk around block instead!
