Best of … how to keep healthy

Contributed by Tim Brugger, Catalogs.com Top 10 Guru

It’s safe to assume most of us would prefer to get healthy, and then stay that way once we’ve made that sometimes arduous journey. Sure, this includes getting some exercise, and there are a lot of options to do so.

However, mental health; the ability to truly relax, get a good night’s sleep or simply enjoy the world around us, is every bit as important as being able to bench press your weight. Though, that’s pretty impressive too.

Let’s take a look at some of the best ways to stay healthy – physically and mentally vibrant.

Promolife

Alternative wellness therapies

Promolife is a resource for those who appreciate the value of keeping both their inner and outer selves aligned and healthy. Moxabustion, aka “Moxa Therapy,” is one option to help achieve the syncing of mind and body. If you haven’t heard of this ancient Chinese therapy, it’s used to stimulate circulation in crucial areas of the body with heat, as well as improve your energy flow, or qi. This won’t instill ninja-like physical abilities, but who wants to slink around in black PJ’s anyway?

TriSports

Equipment for extreme sports

TriSports has both equipment and inspiration for those who keep healthy by pushing their bodies to the limit. For those not into the ways of Zen, there’s certainly nothing wrong with good old fashioned exercise to stay fit. And for the diehards, that means long runs, rides on the bike, and maybe even Triathlons. Don’t forget to hydrate during extreme sports to keep healthy; TriSports offers the most aerodynamic hydration systems on the market today, and if you’re on the back end of a Triathlon, your body’s giving you enough resistance already.

Valley Naturals

Body-fortifying vitamins and supplements

They have not, as yet anyway, developed the magic pill that will allow couch potatoes to stay healthy while skimming through the 287 channels offered via their satellite TV provider. Though Valley Naturals does offer the next best thing: a wide array of natural vitamins and supplements to help you stay fit, as well as recover from strenuous workouts. The Synthovial 7 joint supplement will do all of the above, and promote younger looking skin too boot.

Gaiam

Coolest yoga equipment

The days of yoga being for old hippies and new age Yanni-lovers are long since past. Not only does yoga require stamina, dexterity and the desire to turn oneself into a pretzel, it promotes a synergy between mind and body. Gaiam has everything a yoga master needs to promote a safe and healthy workout; including some of the coolest no-slip yoga socks on the planet.

3B Scientific

Products that pamper your muscles

So you’ve decided to get, and subsequently remain, fit; welcome to the live longer and healthier club. Unfortunately, in your zeal to get from point A to point Z (fitness), you skipped a few steps and now your muscles are screaming like a banshee. Not to worry, 3B Scientific has just what the doctor ordered: a therma-wrap that will feel like you’ve just laid down for the world’s best Swedish massage, without the price tag.
