May the 4th Be With You

May the 4th Be With You

Today is May 4th, and as avid Star Wars fans, Soma Technology is compiling a list of our favorite tips and things that we imagine each character would give on tips to living well.

May the fourth be with you.

Luke Skywalker

Luke suggests that you walk about 10,000 steps a day. Daily exercise is important in conjunction with what we eat, to maintain our body weight. Simple cardio can make someone feel instantly better, and be a good practice to implicate into daily habits.

Chewbacca

Chewing your food up to 30 times before swallowing helps to aid in digestion. The teeth are used to rip apart food, as the saliva breaks down the nutrients. These nutrients will eventually be absorbed into the bloodstream via digestion. Saliva can also help keep our mouths clean by washing away any food particles, and the moisture helps to coat our mouths.

Darth Vader

Sometimes we need to go to the dark side. This includes our sleep schedule. Turning off the blue light from televisions and phones 30 minutes before sleep helps to get a better quality of sleep. Also, Darth Vader sounds like he suffers from COPD, so we recommend his use of a CPAP, and eventually will need a ventilator.

Yoda

Exercise is incredibly important in either maintaining a healthy weight or actively using your muscles. Try not to be a Jabba the Hut. Yoda Yoga is beneficial to your musculoskeletal structure, as well as practicing mindfulness. Yoga is proven to relax the body, and clear your thoughts.

Han Solo

Han Solo reminds us that sometimes it is best to be solo. Taking time for yourself is important. Relaxing and finding ways to de-stress are important to mental health management.

Porgs & BB-8

These birdlike animals,and the cut BB-8 fit the novelty factor. Looking at pictures of baby animals, and animals alike lower blood pressure, and release stress reducing chemicals in our brains.
