The first suggestion concerns sleep. Most professionals recommend eight hours of sleep every evening for adult. Over eight hours of sleep can lead to depression or even sluggishness. In less than eight hours, it could cause anxiety or even anxiousness. But, I believe that sleep does not need to be done in a single chunk of time. Personally, I sleep for around three hours, work on projects for an half an hour, sleep for another hour or two Then I take a nap every now or twice during my day when exhausted. Sometimes naps last up to an hour, sometimes only ten minutes. The key, I believe, is to go to bed when your body tells you it needs rest. Of course, I'm semi-retired and my schedule won't work for most professionals.
A well-balanced diet can help with mental health. I suggest a diet that is rich in omega-3 fatty acids. Those can include, most seeds and nuts, but most beneficial are walnuts, flaxseeds ground, sunflower seeds and Chia seeds that have been soaked. I prefer to soak my chia seeds in milk overnight and it creates a mixture similar to tapioca pudding. Cold water fish are rich in omega-3 fatty acids. sardines, salmon, trout, char, and herring lead Top Doctor the way in this region. Avocado is another good food in this region. Low fat proteins are helpful like chicken, beans and fish, as well turkey. Of course, a balanced diet built on vegetables and fruits is essential, and lastly probiotics can aid digestion. Those can include pickles, sauerkraut, and yogurt.
* A further important aspect is respect - treat yourself with respect by treating yourself and consider yourself a valuable asset. Find a hobby like fishing; go to a great restaurant or watch a film once a month, keep notes about your experiences, and even shop.
* Exercise is a crucial aspect that bolsters your self-esteem and overall mental well-being. A walk outdoors, particularly in a park or the woods that provide the fresh air, energy and the sun's rays can supply the much-needed vitamin D to stave off depression.
It is helpful to engage with others in person. Conversation can provide a feeling of belonging. It is beneficial to switch off the mobile phone and deal with individuals in person.
These five keys will not ensure good mental health, but they will contribute a lot towards the goal.
