Dr. Frank King, a chiropractor, doctor of naturopathy specializing in homeopathic remedies and author of The Healing Revolution, describes three quick life changes that are easy to make and will have you feeling better quickly.
• Drink half your body weight in ounces of spring or well water every day.
If you weigh 150 pounds, that’s 75 ounces of water (about 9 cups). “Many of us walk around dehydrated without realizing it, and that can have a significant effect on our health and how we feel,” King says. Dehydrated bodies trap toxins and encourage water retention—a natural defense against chronic “drought.”
• Take at least a few minutes every day to connect with nature. Nature brings perpetual revitalization and ongoing renewal, especially when experienced through multiple senses. “The more disconnected we become from the Earth, the more we inhibit our body’s natural ability to heal,” says King.
• Take a brisk, 10- to 20-minute walk every day. “Three brisk 10-minute walks a day are as effective at lowering blood pressure as one 30-minute walk,” King says, citing an Arizona State University study. “Outdoor walking is preferable to walking on a treadmill or other machine, since the uneven surfaces and changing directions of natural walking will engage more muscles and tendons.”
