The Pisces Health

Your well-being relies heavily on your emotional agility. I say this because your zodiac element, water, has a remarkable effect on your emotions, and this can impact your health and relationships. If you find yourself beleaguered in any way, your health will deteriorate as if were a mirror image of your state of mind.

If you wish to enjoy good health and a stress-free existence, make some changes in your life. It is your state of mind that determines your health and vigor. Firstly, be strict with your schedule at work. Don't do too much overtime, and chart out exclusive hours for exercise, indulgence and recreation. Limit your sleep to a six- to eight-hour cycle. Sleeping too little or too much can impair your health. You're a dreamer who can be somewhat lethargic, but the more you fight to create balance in your life, the more you stand to gain.

Pisces rules the feet, toes and toenails, as well as the lymphatic system and the astral circulation coordination that governs your underlying life force. Performing aerobic exercises or Hat-ha yoga will help boost your energy levels and circulation while simultaneously soothing your emotions. If you can find creative ways to de-stress, it will help you to ameliorate the pessimistic thought patterns that are detrimental to your health.

Be wary of your tendency to overeat in order to beat emotional stress. Indulging doesn't suppress your internal turmoil; it fuels it further. Reducing your food intake will dramatically improve your emotional well-being and physical robustness. Remember, the secret to a healthy digestion lies in remaining active and engaged. Vitamin A, B and magnesium, as well as a colourful platter of fruits and green vegetables, like broccoli, celery, green peppers, tomatoes and cherries, will uplift your spirit.

Soya bean products, bean sprouts, eggs and sunflower seeds are also beneficial dietary supplements. Because the lower parts of your body, like the feet, toes and ankles, are inherently weak, it may be a wise idea to make legumes, beans and vitamin B complex a regular part of your diet.
