Healthy habits and lifestyle


Try to look at your day. Are you happy with the habits and routines that you have? Healthy habits are always about finding the balance and improving the routine everyday. 


DIET

When it comes to health, one of the most essential parts is a good and balanced diet. When you pursue that, besides making you feel good, it does have plenty of advantages. It helps with digestion, supports muscles, strenghtens bones, boosts your immune system, lowers the risks of various diseases such as diabetes, cancer or heart disease. A healthy diet should include enough carbs, protein, fat, fibre, vitamins and minerals. We should emphasize and seek fruits, vegetables, whole grains, fish, meat or alternatives like tofu or other legume products, eggs, nuts and seeds. Really important are portions/amount of the food we eat and also the time when we eat it, so we should definitely be careful about that and keep everything balanced. 

EXERCISE

Besides a good diet, a really important part of pursuing a healthy lifestyle is physical movement. Excercise burns excess fat and releases endorphins that make us cognitively more capable and generally happier. By exercising, we can decrease the risk of various different disieses and health risks. 

REST 

While we all know the importance of a good nights rest for our overall mental and physical health,  however something we usually underrate is the importance of other means of regeneration. Things such as massages, saunas and spas help our bodies regenerate after a long days of work, and get us ready for the following morning, so they should not be disregarded.

ACTIVE LIFESTYLE

During the day it is important to stay active. Transportation by foot or by bike can improve your health and at the same time you can be beneficial for the nature. Walking home or in the nature can clean your thoughts and relax your mind. All kind of sports are also very welcome. Running, skiing, cycling,swimming, hiking, climbing, workouting and moving your body should be on your daily schedule. And again, sometimes there is not enough time, but we can't neglecting our body for the wrong reasons. 


MENTAL HEALTH

Let's move from physical to the mental health. As important as feeling good in your body should be also feeling good in your mind. But one can't exist without the other. So with starting a healthier lifestyle comes also mental happiness. 


But it all needs to start from you and from your initiative to change your life to better. Nobody will control your life if you just don't do it for yourself.

Organic fertilizer is the best food for the soil, it is a good source of nutrients and mironutrients for the plants which are essential for them to grow.  Even when all actions have been taken to use your wasted food, certain inedible parts will still remain and can be turned into compost to feed and nourish the soil.

Tools used in the project

In order to achieve a remarkable result throughout some activities that involve people with a common aim , there have to be implemented some tools that would help in learning and understanding a topic, so that is why some magic tools are important for a project that provides sustainability, too. Furthermore, these are the ones used in our LLLS journey: Firstly, some icebreakers aka activities to get to know each other For example, making a circle with the whole group so each person, one by one, says his/her name and associates it with an animal and a gesture. Another game is the Clock game: the one that help people meet and discuss on a topic for about 3-4 minutes for every hour of a clock (12 meeting per general) Secondly, to start the team-building there is another activity by staying in a circle with eyes closed and trying to take 2 random hands and then untying the formed knot of hands connecting to the nature and learning more about what it means, what everybody is doin...

4Rs

Before reading this diary it is very important to define some terms about sustainibility, known also as the 4Rs - reuse, renew, reduce and recycle. Every one of them is a bit different and specific in its own way.  Renewing is repairing old things instead of buying new ones. For example fixing the old electronics, sewing up or fixing the clothing. Reusing represents repeated use of components or elements. It's about choosing to reuse the materials rather then throwing them away. We made small flowers from old clothing but with a little bit of imagination and initiative I am sure you could do anything you want. Reducing means decreasing the materials we are using on daily basis. Reducing use of water, car transportation, usage of electricity, leftovers, packages, plastic materials or clothing.  Many people don't know the difference between recycling and separating. Separating stands for dividing waste into plastic, paper and glass. Recycling is making things from materials that...
