In this article we discuss about how to avoid younger mortality. The first thing that we have to understand is the basic of the life concept. It is the good, ideal and proportional combination of good nutrition, sufficient exercise and quality sleep or rest. Those three elements of life are the most important things. They must be understood comprehensively to support your healthy and happy life. The good, correct and healthy nutrition combined with sufficient quality sleep and proper exercise will be the foundation of good health. It is like a triangular. We talk about comprehensive knowledge about maintaining a good health as a whole. We have to life in harmony, our soul, mind and body. It calls holistic health care.


Rest, Relaxation and Quality Sleep

Sufficient rest and good sleep will demand us to have muscle and mind relaxation. The meditation and NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) is the choice how to manage your mind. The simple basic method of meditation is: sit down on an arm chair or sit down on the floor like usual meditation posture. Let your backbone straight and begin to feel consciously when you inhale and exhale your breath through your nostrils. Feel the air enter your lungs through your nostrils when you inhale and feel the air goes out your nostrils when you exhale. You do not have to regulate your breath. Do not attempt to control your mind. Just breathe as usual and feel it. Let it go about five to ten minutes. Then you will feel relax naturally. That is the easiest way to meditate. If you have interest to learn about meditation you can read the related articles or join in the meditation class. It is good for your health and your mind. With this relaxation method you will overcome any stressful situations and conditions. Remember, stress can kill you.

NLP or neuro linguistic programming will teach you how to control your mind. It is about controlling the internal representation where you have to select your internal dialogue. Do not let your internal dialogue supplies you with negative thinking. Whatever your experience, it is up to you to translate it into your inner mind. There is no negative information when you understand how to convert it to a positive and happy thinking. It is the way how you translate all the information into friendly and happy influence to your mind. If you face a bad experience which is potential to make you angry then make a "switch". Make a nice and entertaining switch of perception, so that your internal representation receives the information as a happy thing. You can smile instead of feel anger that can choke your blood artery.

The spiritual approach
to your problem is also a nice way. There is no real disease or problem when you have proper spiritual solutions. The ways how to be close to this "Supreme Power" are:

1. You have to be wholeheartedly sincere trust and faith.
2. You have to be aware that this power is full of love and affection.
3. You have to feel certain that this power is unlimited. “HE” (The Supreme Power) can do anything “HE” wants without any difficulties.
4. You have to feel thankful and gratitude for anything you have got and enjoy in your life, which we can not list it one by one.
5. You must always remember, keep in mind that this supreme power is every second be with you. Support and help you 365, 52, 7/24. I hope you understand these numbers.
6. You should feel very happy at anytime. You know that the Almighty always be with you so that you always feel fun and happy.

If you believe in God, keep praying. Sincere and good pray will award you a very powerful influence to the quality of your life, your own health, your family, your friends and even all of living creatures in the world. So, be careful with your intention and pray. Keep positively thinking because how you think will potentially influence your own life and environment. What you think repeatedly suggest the same thing unconsciously to your mind (your subconscious mind).

Please be aware that your subconscious mind is very powerful. You can not control your subconscious mind. However, you can utilize the power of your subconscious mind by giving repeated suggestions or affirmations. When you think positively that can make you happy, it will give the same affirmation to your subconscious mind. It will translate the information as the good, positive and happy experience. Your emotion will be more positive and happy too. This positive emotion will lead you to a correct, precise action or behavior to pursue and receive what you want. You can obtain your target easily. Make positive thinking and heartful sincerity to be your habit. You will be surprised on how this good powerful habit can influence your life.

I suggest you to practice deep breaths. It will throw away your stress, and make you feel comfortable. It can clean your lungs and relax your mind. You will obtain more oxygen to support your body metabolism. Breathe deeply not only from your breast but until the muscle of your upper abdomen so that the inhaled air will fill your entire lungs, to the lower part of your lungs.

Before you breathe deeply try to concentrate on your breathe. Pay attention to your inhale and exhale of your breathe through your nostrils. Keep aware with your natural breathe. Do not try to regulate your breathe, just breathe naturally and feel the relaxation of your body and mind. Feel that all your muscles get limb and relax. Be grateful on every single compassion that you get from the universe. Be grateful for free fresh air to breathe . Be grateful for your house, car, computer, electric, health, money, family, friends, beautiful trees, the sky, the sun, street, floor, water, food and many other objects that support you to enjoy your life that you normally

You can also overcome any stress with sense of humor. Whatever happened to you accept it with a touch of humor in your brain.
Keep smiling any time and any where. Keep laughing; laugh is good medicine, so create any gratitude thought in your mind to be able to laugh.
Many people now get used to laugh and smile whatever situation and condition around them. It is very good habit, because there is direct relationship between nerves which move your muscles to smile with your mind. If you smile or laugh your nerve will tell your mind that you are happy. Some people said laugh is the best medicine; since we are concentrating in managing our eating habit we, of course we should say that the healthy food is the best medicine.

Good Sleep

It is very important to have good quality deep sleep at night. If you have problem to get sleep, try to listen carefully your own breath. Feel it when you inhale and feel it when you exhale. Listen to the regular sound of the wall clock in the bed room. You can also take a 3 milligrams of melatonin tablet and divide into two, drink this 1½ mg of melatonin with a little water. In 15 minutes you will fall sleep naturally. The melatonin will not make you addicted. It also will not harm your health even though you take it at regular basis. However, when you have no more insomnia just stop the consumption of this melatonin.

Sleep at least 7 hour a day. Sleep at night is much better than day nap. However, if you do not have enough sleep at night, try to get afternoon good sleep around one or two hours.

Exercise

To keep your mind and body healthy, you must not be lazy. Move your body, legs and hands. Walk at least 30 (thirty) minutes a day or every the other day is enough. Stand with your feet at a distance about 10 inches and sway your arms upward and backward. Do it 50 to 200 times a day. It is the ancient Chinese way of perfect exercise. Stand and swirl your body anti clockwise 7 times and do it 5 times a day. It is also a choice how to exercise. Jog, swim or cycling is among nice ways to exercise too. However, if you are not used to work daily exercise, go easy. Start with the lightest one and gradually every week, you add the quantity. There are many nice and entertaining exercises if you want. But please remember, do not over exercise, it is as bad as you do not do any exercise at all. Consult your physician before you begin your work if you have hypertension or heart problem.

Walking is the best and sustaining exercise. You are not easy to get bored with fun walk. Do relax walk at least 30 minutes every day or every other day. However, if you are not used with physical exercise start with only 5 minutes walk on Monday, Wednesday and Friday in first two weeks. In the second two weeks you can increase to be 10 minutes walk. The next two weeks you increase again to be 15 minutes. The next two weeks again you make it 20 minute each time you walk. After you get used with this type of simple exercise gradually add the intensity of your walk to become 4 times a week, 5 times a week and 6 times a week.

There are much other simple exercises like jogging, cycling or swimming. Choose some of them to vary your usual personal exercise. You will love this body moving activities. Exercise will help you to get relax, free your stress and easier to get sleep.

If you are older, do not worry that your body might not get fit. The elders will get benefit from any work out or exercise as well as young bodies. Your body needs to adapt exercise if you are not used with it, no matter you are young or old. Begin any exercise with light one and gradually add the intensity in every two weeks. End every exercise with stretch by rotating your head around your neck. It is also important to move your head up and down, to the left and to the right. Swivel your head left, and then turn your neck until you are looking right. Return to left again and repeat 10 times. This is needed to cleanse the artery behind the neck so that the blood to supply oxygen and nutrients to your brain flow easily.

Keep in your mind that the best exercise is the regular, not boring, pleasant, comfortable and entertaining to you personally. Relax walk with little stretching exercise is fit with this criteria. Have any variety by creating many variations to your exercise. Create your own personal exercise. Get used with your own new healthy habits. Enjoy this life as much as you can by following the new life style, - the new way of life, fun life, happy life, longer life.
