Give the television a rest and start walking your way to better health.
Do you find yourself feeling under the weather despite exercising regularly and eating a healthy, plant based diet? According to WebMD, common household activities may be responsible for your runny nose, infection, or lethargy. For example, using a sponge with only light rinsing in between uses actually spreads bacteria and makes your countertops less sanitary. Clean your sponges in a bleach and water solution after every use or avoid using these bacteria magnets altogether. Vacuuming with a conventional vacuum can also be detrimental to your health, especially if you suffer from allergies or asthma. Locate a vacuum with a high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter in order to reduce air contamination when you clean your floors. For people who are less concerned with keeping a clean house and more interested in what is on television, keep in mind that you burn more calories staring at a blank wall than you do watching the tube. Don’t add to the global obesity problem by buying into an excessively sedentary lifestyle! Protect your health by reducing the amount of television you watch and increasing the time you spend doing physical activities like walking, jogging, and biking.
