3 Healthy Ways to Challenge Your Body

According to Newton’s laws of force, for a plane to fly there must be a force against which the plane has to move. Without this force, the plane cannot fly and will fall back to the ground. The same applies to the bird and the ship.

 

This fact has let the plane mechanics to make sure that a plane is one of the toughest machines on this earth followed by a ship.

 

Lamarck’s’ law of use and disuse, states that “the more the part of your body is used, the stronger it becomes and vice versa is true.”

 

Your body is a machine that also grows stronger by the challenges it goes through. The reason why sports people, gym goers, pastors, politicians are most successful is because they challenge their bodies to the level of realizing hidden values inside their bodies.

 

Scientific research reveals three most important ways which our elders used to strengthen themselves to become the strongest creatures ever.

 

These are the same methods that our prophets Jesus Christ and Muhammad, used to achieve greatness.

 

1. Fasting

This is one of the hardest technics. Eating two meals instead of four is freaking tough and not everyone can do it. It’s a practice which started from ancient years.

Despite hardly affording two meals per day our elders were very tough and strong.

 

Ibrahim “the father of faith”, Jesus Christ and Prophet Mohammad used the fasting technic to concentrate well when praying and working.

 

What’s the secret behind fasting?

It creates a discipline for life. If you can deprive your body a breakfast, that means you are a patient person, a good potential for health and success.

 

Your body is already having food Stores. This means when you fast, the body doesn’t starve as many people think. It releases hormones which enable the usage of its stores. The breakdown of fats in your body provides ketonic energy.

 

This kind of energy increase the brain concentration and sharpness. All of these will never come easily if you don’t challenge your body enough. Do you know why Christians and Islamic people embrace this culture every year?

 

Fasting increases their body strength and makes them concentrate well. Eating a lot of sugars makes your brain sleepy and lazy. This dulls your focus.

 

How to fast?

Use my formula of “16:8”. Fast for 16 hours (eat your last meal at 7: 30 pm night), then only drink water in the morning and don’t eat anything until 13- 14hrs. Then eat next meal at around 7 or 8 pm. This is to say you fast 16 hours straight then you eat within the last 8hrs.This Is called intermittent fasting.

2. Exercising

It’s not easy to challenge those muscles, bones, tendons etc. Your body naturally wants to rest And when you challenge it for the first three weeks, pain will be your only friend greeting you. This is the time most people quit.

 

Your body has a lot of locked potential, most of it can be unlocked through exercising.

 

 

The stress relieving hormones like endorphins is released through exercises. That’s the reason why number one natural stress relieving habit is exercising not drinking beer.

 

However, you don’t benefit from this because you never challenge your body through either running, lifting weights, cycling, push-ups, or any physical exercise. All of this train your body to develop resilience.

 

Body strength gives you confidence to go after your dreams. A strong body can withstand long standing stress. working out pushes the body to generate energy from within, the best gift you can give yourself.

 

Unexercised body is always bored, tired and lazy. You deserve more than that!

 

3. Waking up early

Waking up early is another big challenge for your body. The body always likes to rest. As long as you’re sleeping, the body is happy.

 

Our body has an inner clock called circadian rhythm. It is responsible for a body’s adaptation to habits including sleep. This clock can be trained depending on your routine for habits. The more stable your rhythm, the more your body works properly.

 

As per research, the best sleep is always attained at minimum of 6hrs of uninterrupted sleep. With 6 hours for an adult and 8 hours for children. Your body gets enough rest and is ready for the next day.

 

If you can postpone your sleep for something else, it means you can persevere in other difficult issues and situations. People who wake up early to do something positive have many other forms of discipline in their life like patience, risk taking and proper money management, resilience.

 

Sometimes you may wake up to meditate on the solutions to problems. Missing this calm time from 4 a.m. to 6 a.m. has led people to mediocrity and low life by failing to make good use of their time. People who complain to have no time to do things, they sleep too much.

Picture this, you wake up at 7 a.m., prepare for work, going to work from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., you’re tired, you go back home and sleep a bit, waking up with a lot of chaos from TV, children, family and keeping in there until 10 p.m. then going back to bed again till 7a.m.

Repeat this for 20 years and you become poor like anybody else. Successful people don’t follow that timetable. They sacrifice. They sleep like you, but the difference is that they sleep only 5 to 6 hours.

 

They sleep at 10 p.m. and wake up at 4 a.m. and use these three hours as the “me-time” to build their empires. While you do the same things at work, they are still busy building their empires during their daily 3 hours and the difference comes to reveal itself later.

 

Question: You used to wake up very early when you were in high school and college and this gave you high performance in your studies until you got that degree. Now what happened after that? Did you forget the power of early rising?

 

Show me a successful man who sleeps 9 hours, and I will show you many healthy and successful people who sleep 5 to 6 hours. It’s through waking up early that I have been able to build a blog, put all this content and expand my knowledge.
