These Five Simple Lifestyle Tweaks Can Have a Positive Effect on Your Body and Mind
Tiny changes make all the difference, especially when it comes to your health. While it’s tempting to try to overhaul every aspect of your life at once in order to get healthy fast, opting for smaller, more manageable goals can set you up for long-term success.
Here’s how to adjust your everyday routine to maximise the health benefits well into the future.
1 Brush your teeth with the opposite hand to boost brainpower
The next time you’re cleaning your pearly whites, use your non-dominant hand (so if you’re left-handed, use your right hand, and vice versa). Why?
Studies have found it’s a great brain-training activity and builds the stamina needed for committing to a task. In fact, researchers at Duke University Medical School, in the US, found any exercise that gives your mind a break from routine establishes vital new pathways and circuits among brain cells.
Other ways to get the same benefits include taking a different route to work, playing a game of chess or solving a crossword puzzle.
