Things You Neglect To Do But Are Extremely Important

With the busy schedule and fast pacing of our daily lives, we sometimes forget the essentials of our daily living. These things when frequently neglected may cause detrimental effects in our own selves. I thought of reinforcing this again because I think a lot of these daily necessities are being forgotten:

1. Always eat your breakfast. Many people are very much delved into their competitive jobs that eating breakfast can cost them minutes or hours of non-profit. Studies always show that people who eat their foods  in the morning are more energized, focused and weighs lesser.

2. Give some nutrients for your bones. That I meant, drink your milk or your calcium supplements daily. 

3. Hydrate. I too, am guilty of this. It's a common knowledge to drink 8 glasses of water a day. However, with our busy schedules or we have other routines that we have to attend to, we forget to hydrate ourselves and would later on recognize that we need to give ourselves some refreshments when we are already thirsty. You lose fluid not only during urination or sweating, even when you're speaking you also lose some fluids and electrolytes.

4. Protect your skin. The scorching heat of the sun is way more painful than it was years before. I am not used to using sunscreens before, but now I have to put some because I am afraid of being burned and develop cancer later on. 

5. Eat Vegetables. Never forget to have your own share of vegetables. Green, leafy for longer life and bright ones for antioxidants.

6. Floss. After I eat, I always floss. Plaques and leftovers that are hidden in between your teeth can be a ground for breeding of bacterias which will eventually cause you diseases. Gum diseases are thought to increase your risk of developing other illnesses like diabetes and heart diseases.
