A New Year can bring a new you. Sometimes we spend all of our time caring for loved ones that we put our needs and health on the back burner. This year let’s prioritize us! With a healthier you comes a happier family. Self-love will create more energy, more happiness and more spunk for life. Just to get you started here are 5 ways to incorporate healthier habits into 2020:
-
Include more plants in your diet. Plant foods are where we get the majority of our vitamins and minerals. Try buying a new fruit or veggie each grocery trip to introduce an array of nutrients.
-
Practice fasting. 12 of the 24 hours in a day should be fasted. Small fasts like this are beneficial for insulin utilization and therefore helpful for weight loss and overall health.
-
Prioritize sleep. You’d be surprised to learn at how crucial sleep is to your overall health. Over time a wonky sleep routine can be a factor in chronic diseases like diabetes, cardiovascular disease and even obesity.
-
Move more. Practice NEAT activities (Non-exercise activity thermogenesis). These are activities that promote movement in your everyday life. Try taking the stairs instead of the escalator, using the shovel instead of the snowblower, and parking a little farther back than you usually would at the mall. These are all things that will increase your steps daily and promote health over time.
-
Practice mindfulness. Try meditation, connecting with your senses and listening wholeheartedly. Mindfulness is the key to mastering your thought patterns
