1. Breakfast
It’s important for a lot of reasons. Activate your metabolism and prevent you from overeating later. In addition, studies show that adults who eat a healthy breakfast perform better at work, and children who eat a meal in the morning do better on tests. If a big plate isn’t for you, make it light with a granola bar or fruit. Just don’t skip it.
2. Plan Your Meals
It will help you save time and money in the long run. Set aside some time, then sit down and consider your goals and needs. Do you want to lose weight? Cut down on sugar, fat or carbs? Add protein or vitamins? Meal prep keeps you in control. You know what you are eating and when. Bonus: It’ll be a lot easier to skip those donuts in the break room at work.
3. Drink Plenty of Water
It can do so many good things for you. Staying hydrated is at the top of the list, but it can also help you lose weight. Another reason to choose H2O? Sugary drinks are linked to obesity and type 2 diabetes. If you’re not a fan of plain water, add flavor with slices of orange, lemon, lime, watermelon, or cucumber.
4. Take an Exercise Break
Don’t just have another cup of coffee, get up and move. Do some deep lunges or stretches. It’s great for your body and mind. Just 30 minutes of walking five times a week can help keep the blues at bay. And if you can’t do those minutes all at once, short bursts help too.
5. Offilne GO
Do you check your email and social networks a lot? Sure, the latest updates from your friends and family are just a click away, but do you really need to see photos of your cousin’s latest meal? Let him wait until morning. Set a time to log off and hang up the phone. When you reduce screen time, you free it up to do other things. Go for a walk, read a book, or help your cousin chop vegetables for his next big dinner.
6.Sleep Well
There are almost too many benefits to list. A good night’s sleep keeps you in a better mood, sharpens your memory and concentration, and helps you learn new things. In the long run, it reduces the risk of heart disease and helps you stay fit. Try to get 7-9 hours a night. For the best rest, do it on schedule: go to bed and get up at about the same time every day.
7. Don’t Smoke
If you turn on, leave it. It is a big step towards better health. Your body repairs itself quickly. As soon as 20 minutes after your last cigarette, your heart rate and blood pressure drop. Why wait? Quit the habit, today. Your doctor will be happy to help you get started.
8.Train Your Muscles
Strength training helps your body exchange fat for muscle mass. That means you’ll burn more calories even when you’re being a couch potato. But these exercises can also help you lose weight, strengthen your heart, and build your bones. Do strength-training exercises, such as push-ups, lunges, and weight lifting, at least twice a week.
9. Head Outdoors
A few minutes in the sun raises vitamin D levels, and that’s good for your bones, your heart, and your mood. Plus, being outside means you’re more likely to move your body rather than park it in front of the TV or computer. Choose nature over city streets if you can. One study found that people walking through urban green spaces were calmer than people walking through built-up areas.
10. Keep Your Balance
If you are young and active, good balance will help you avoid injury. Being older will keep you active longer and reduce the chances of you falling and breaking a bone. No matter your age, good balance means better muscle tone, a healthier heart, and increased confidence. Yoga and tai chi are great ways to improve it, but just about anything that keeps you moving, even walking, can help.
