Comfortable Clothes Are Key to Health

Clothes Should Fit Comfortably for Best Health

According to personal experience and that of many others, loose clothing is better for you.  The tighter your clothes are, the more they restrict the natural flows of the body. For your body to obtain and maintain the best health possible, it must be able to "breathe".  There are millions of capillaries right under your skin that need to be able to move blood, that's 2 times their size, through them. This doesn't happen effectively with tight clothing.


Check out this turtleneck tunic by Gaiam. It's loose and flowing. This tunic also improves a woman's figure. How you look in your clothes is just as important as how you feel. Quite a few people wear tight clothes because they believe it makes them look better, therefore they feel better about themselves. Notice how this tunic shapes the figure while still remaining loose?

Clothes Should Make You Feel GOOD About Yourself Too

If you wear tight jeans to show off your derriere, then that is what makes you feel good about yourself. Find a way to show off in looser-fitting clothes or stretch style materials. Think here about yoga clothes. Could you imagine trying to do yoga in the clothes you are currently sporting?


 Take a look at the lady in this ad. She would have pins and needles all over the place if she were to try doing this in tight clothing that didn't have any give. I'd be willing to bet she feels pretty good about herself. Her blood is able to flow, she's able to breathe fully, she can freely move in any way she likes without being restricted. If you'd like to check out these kinds of clothes, just click the images. I like shopping at Gaiam (in case you can't tell). They have items that enhance your health, your self image, and your life in general.

Although not as important as your clothes, it is important to wear shoes that are properly fitted to your feet. If they are too tight, they will restrict the flow of your meridians which all flow to your feet. Blood flow to your feet is also of uttermost importance if you want to maintain healthy skin and nails down there for life. Not that tight shoes is the only reason for ugly feet, it is a leading factor.


Next Time Think Before You Dress

You've probably heard the term "Dress for Success", now you need to think in terms of "Dress for Health". How you dress will make a big impact on your health in every facet: Mental health, Physical health, Emotional health, and even Spiritual health.
