5 Simple Things Healthy People Do Every Day.
1. Include Greens at Every Meal
You will reap tons of health benefits from eating a variety
of green foods. They happen to be the most nutrient-rich form of
carbohydrate available to us in a natural form. They’re
anti-inflammatory, cancer fighting and bone boosting, to name a few
benefits. While incorporating greens at every meal might sound
difficult, it’s quite easy with a little direction. Try adding leafy
greens (such as spinach) to a breakfast smoothie, have a green juice at
lunch and saute your favorite leafy green for dinner.
2. Get Exercise
We all know physical activity is great for our health, but
also helps you feel better. It will clear your mind, take care of stress
and give you energy. Doesn’t matter what you do, just keep trying
different activities until you find things you like and it will quickly
become part of your daily routine.
3. Plan Ahead
We live complicated and busy lives. As a health coach and
mother of two little ones, people ask me how I find time to support
healthy habits. Planning ahead is the key. It’s the the most effective
discipline to leading a more vibrant and productive life. Plus, planning
ahead significantly lowers your stress levels, which increases your
happiness. Map out your weekly schedule on Sunday nights and include
time for things like grocery shopping, cooking and classes you want to
take at the gym.
4. Keep a Consistent Sleep Schedule
One common complaint we hear in the Wellness Center is
fatigue. Most people are busier than ever, have erratic schedules and
are starved for sleep. This causes a disruption to our internal body
clocks which can lead to a number of health issues. Try creating a
routine by getting to bed the same time each night. Start to wind down
by shutting off your electronic devices 30 minutes prior to sleeping.
You’ll be surprised how much this helps your overall wellness!
5. Make Time for Yourself
Give yourself time each day to do something you love, even
if it’s only for a few minutes. Start by creating a list of 10-15
activities that make you happy. Make a pledge to do at least one thing
from the list each day and it will change your life for the better.
