2020 - A New Year And A Healthier You!

Jan 06, 2020
It seems that the New Year is a time that offers us all a fresh new outlook and the perfect opportunity to start the year with optimism and hope to improve our lives.

Health and wellness is a journey that requires dedication and commitment but a healthy lifestyle is extremely important to control the risk of poor health conditions.

Tips For A Healthier You
  • Sleep. For improved mental and physical health you need sleep. Proper sleep will ensure that you make your day more productive. Lack of sleep can also contribute to fatigue, weight gain, and stress. It is important that you make necessary adjustments in your routine to ensure better sleep as studies have shown that adequate sleep reduces stress hormones and will help with weight loss and overall health.
  • Reduce Stress. The busy lifestyle followed by so many people these days can give you a lot of stress and, unfortunately, increased stress can take a toll on your health and increase the risk of serious health issues. Find ways that can help you fight stress naturally such as daily exercising or adding meditation to your daily routine.
  • Daily Exercise. Research has shown that daily exercise brings enormous benefits to your health including lowering the risk for several diseases, maintain a healthy weight, and adding to your life span. Try to choose exercises you enjoy, but change up the routine to keep it interesting. The simple fact is, the more active you are, the better you will feel and healthier you will be.
  • Schedule Time To Relax. When planning your week, make it a priority to schedule in time for doing your favorite activities as well as spending time with friends and family. Adding quality time and activities with the people who care most about will help you recharge.
  • Try To Laugh More. The benefits of laughing more are plentiful and include lowering your blood pressure, easing stress, and strengthening your immune system. Sharing a laugh brings people together and gives you an instant boost to your happiness.
  • Eat Healthy And Fresh. Healthy eating habits are a way to feel your best, increase your energy levels, and stabilize moods. To set yourself for success, start out by making small changes to your diet such as adding new items while eliminating processed food one at a time. Bright colored fruits and vegetables are high in antioxidants that give a boost to your health by removing free radicals that damage your cells. These nutrition-rich superfoods are packed with vitamins, minerals, and fiber while being low in calories. Make a habit to eat a veggie or fruit at every meal. Pick up a fruit or veggie that you have never tried the next time you shop to add variety and keep eating interesting.
  • Hydrate. When the body is dehydrated, it doesn’t run efficiently. Drinking water has plenty of benefits including increasing energy, keep joints lubricated, flushing out toxins, improving skin complexion and boosting immunity. Not to mention improving sleep quality, cognition, and improving mood. If you don’t enjoy drinking plain water, consider infusing it or drinking a non-GMO, herbal tea.
  • Routine Chiropractic Care. With routine Chiropractic Care, there are a plethora of preventative health benefits, and is vital for keeping your body balanced, flexible and functioning at its best. Everyone, from growing children to active seniors, can benefit from regular Chiropractic Care.
5 Tips To Make Healthy Habits Stick
  1. Make A Reasonable Plan. Make a plan that includes small, reasonable goals and the specific actions you’ll take to move toward them. Consider what you think you’ll need to be successful. How can you change things around you to support your goals?
  2. Be Kind To Yourself. Beating yourself up over your perceived “failure” is not a good way to maintain any type of habit except the habit of negativity. Perfection is unattainable, simply attempt to do the best you can each day, and take one day at a time.
  3. Reward Your Victories. The reward and punishment system still works and you can leverage it to build good habits that help you reach your goals faster. This is why it is important to celebrate your hard work and to reward yourself for the effort that you have made. The rewards you give yourself are a personal choice, and you probably know best what would be the best incentive for your own success.
  4. Consistency. When it comes to maintaining a healthy lifestyle, one of the most important things you can do is simply strive for consistency. No matter how busy life gets or how much your schedule changes on a daily basis it is important to be prepared and stay consistent. Meal plan, schedule time to be active and to unwind. By sticking to your healthy habits seven days a week, you’ll be less likely to return to your old habits.
  5. Surround Yourself With Positivity. Try to build up the positivity in your life because negativity is contagious. Tell who you are comfortable with about your new lifestyle habits so they can help keep you accountable, or even better join in with you!
The Takeaway

Simply put we all want to be healthier, less stressed, happier, more energetic, or in better shape, and the start of a new year is the perfect time to set goals for a healthier you. It is important to never give up and always continue to fight the good fight for your health. You are worth it!
