New year, new you. Or at least that's what we keep telling ourselves every January. But sometimes it's challenging to remember how to take care of yourself when life gets busy and your schedule is jam-packed with work, family obligations, and social events. That's why we've assembled some simple tips to help you stay healthy in the new year:
Exercise is a smart way to start the year off right. Not only does it help with your physical health and immune system, but exercise also helps with mental health and overall well-being.
Vegetables are healthy for you and contain many nutrients, including fiber, antioxidants, and vitamins. They help with digestion as well as weight loss. Vegetables are also low in calories so you don't have to worry about overdoing it on your diet. They can be cooked in a variety of ways too!
Do you know how you feel after a full night's sleep? You're refreshed and ready to take on the day. But what if you don't get enough sleep? According to research from the National Sleep Foundation, not getting enough sleep can put your health at risk—it increases your risk of heart disease and stroke, affects your ability to learn and remember information, increases irritability, impairs concentration and decision-making skills, makes it more difficult to lose weight…and the list goes on. The good news is that there are things we can do (or avoid) in order to help us achieve better rest at night:
You may want to consider quitting smoking. You'll look better and feel healthier, and you'll also help your body work more efficiently. Smoking is linked to lung cancer and heart disease, as well as respiratory problems like asthma. It can also lead to diabetes, infertility, and strokes.
You shouldn't have to be an expert to start relaxing more, but it's worth noting that the benefits of relaxation are many. Research has shown that when you relax, your heart rate and blood pressure drop, your body releases natural painkillers like endorphins, and your central nervous system becomes more calm.
Relaxation techniques include deep breathing exercises (inhale through the nose while holding out a long exhale as long as possible), visualization (think of a place or the person who makes you feel relaxed), meditation (focus on one thing in order to clear your mind), guided imagery (think about what it would be like if everything were okay), progressive muscle relaxation (relax each part of the body from head to toe), or even simple things like taking baths or reading fiction books instead of nonfiction ones for fun!
Avoid stress. Stress has been shown to cause digestive problems, anxiety and depression, headaches and back pain, poor sleep and a host of other symptoms. Stress can also make you eat more unhealthy food or drink more alcohol than usual.
If you find yourself feeling overwhelmed, it's important to take time for yourself. As a busy person, this can be difficult to do. If you're having trouble setting aside time for yourself, try making regular appointments with yourself and honoring those appointments as much as possible. It's also wise to try not to let stress or anxiety get the best of you over the next few weeks!
Health is a gift, and you should try to keep it.
There isn't a "one size fits all" solution to keeping your gut healthy. Everybody is different, and there are many factors that could influence how well you do in this quest. But with these tips, we hope that you'll be able to start making some changes today! While they may not seem like much at first glance, they're all small steps toward bettering yourself and keeping your body happy for years to come.
