Your Dream Wedding : Be Healthy and Wise

It is a month or less away from your wedding day. Everything is in place. You have the church and restaurant of your choice. The menu is mouth watering and sure to satisfy everyone’s tummy. The cake not only looks gorgeous, it is delicious. All the gowns are ready. Your family and friends are all arriving. The plans for your dream wedding have been followed perfectly. All you need to do now is greet your guests as they arrive, have your shower or stag party and actually say your I dos.

There is a lot of pressure on most couples while preparing for their nuptials. With so many decisions to make and trying to fit everything into an already busy schedule, most brides and grooms are just dying to have a day or two that are wedding plan free.

That is an absolutely wonderful idea! You need time to enjoy your relationship and just savor having found each other. Go ahead and have some fun and just date.

Just a reminder: take care not to get sick. We all know that there are bugs and germs everywhere. The last thing anyone wants is to go out for a swim and come home with a cold (not to mention tan lines that may mar the look of your gown).

Here are some suggestions on how to avoid being under the weather on your wedding day:

Get sufficient sleep. Most people who live in the city keep late hours. They sleep at almost midnight, sometimes beyond and get up before seven. Our body demands quality sleep. It needs 8 hours of sleep at night. Sleeping at two in the morning until ten isn’t sufficient. The more rested the body is, the better it can fight infections.

Eat a balanced and healthy diet. Most brides are concerned with being slim and trim on their wedding day. Everyone wants to look glamorous on that special day. This does not mean however that you should starve yourself. Crash diets will cause your weight to drop for a while but they may also cause your immune system to go down. Better to carefully plan, prepare and eat balanced meals everyday.

Make sure you are getting sufficient vitamins and minerals. Make sure that your body is getting sufficient quantities of what it needs to be able to function at its best. Consult your doctor on what supplements you may take, if you choose to add this to your lifestyle.

Exercise. You don’t need to suddenly get into weight lifting or long distance running. You can join an aerobics class or dance class. Just for fun ladies, why not try pole dancing or belly dancing for fitness? It gives a great work out and you can use what you learn on your wedding night.

Prevention is the best medicine is one of the favorite sayings of our elders for a reason. It never hurts to be fit and healthy. In fact it is wise. Side benefit: you will look absolutely stunning in your wedding outfits.
