The new year is here and with it comes new promise, hope, and an irresistible desire to better ourselves. When the year starts, we reflect what went well, what did not, and what we hope will happen in the new year. In many ways, the new year offers us a fresh start and a chance to break old patterns. One of the things to change or improve on is your health and wellness.
If January gives you the desire to improve your health, then you are in the right place. Here, you’ll get to know how to harness your motivation of staying healthy throughout 2019. Below, are long-lasting and powerful tips that will help you improve both your mental and physical health.
It is an important tip that you should not overlook. It’s because lack of sleep causes many health problems like weight gain, weak immunity, and in some cases affect the brain health. Ensure you sleep for at least seven or eight hours each night to achieve good health
For most people new year’s resolution is losing weight. Unfortunately, this is not achieved when the year comes to an end. There is often a tempting urge to grab a quick snack like chips when you’re on the run.
In this new year, try and eat healthful food. This includes unprocessed foods such as fruits, whole grains, and vegetables. These foods will not only help you maintain your weight but also nourish your brain, equip with essential minerals for growth, and at the end make you feel good.
Despite many of us knowing about the health benefits of exercising regularly, we still follow an inactive lifestyle. If you feel you are new to the gym or not a marathoner, think about taking a morning walk around your block. Increase the distance gradually until you get used to it. Exercises will keep you healthier, sharper, happier, and more confident of your body that you’ve ever felt.
It is one of the debatable topics in the health world. Some skip breakfast as they think they can lose weight through it. Well, that’s not the case. Breakfast is an essential meal of the day and, therefore, you should never skip it. A healthy and proper breakfast jump starts your day and keeps you active throughout the day. Remember that the key word there is a healthy and proper breakfast.
Diets offer numerous health benefits. Such diets include the Keto and Mediterranean diets. These diets provide multiple health benefits and holistic approaches to curing some diseases. If you have not tried any of the diets, then let this new year be your stepping stone to a new diet.
I believe you don’t want 2019 to be a year in which stress and anxiety keep holding you. For that reason, include meditation to your healthy lifestyle. Meditation is essential as it helps to relax and calm your mind, body, and soul. Moreover, it helps you to manage stress levels and anxiety by relaxing your body. If you are new to meditation, join a yoga club where you learn all about meditation.
Drink a sufficient amount of water
Make water your main fluid to drink in 2019. Water can do wonders for your health like help in digestion, discard extra weight, and make you maintain a youthful appearance. Before you go to sleep, ensure you have taken eight glasses. Most importantly, take a glass of water every morning before having coffee or tea.
Challenging your brain to learn something new goes a long way in developing and activating your cognitive functions. Learning something new also activates your hand-eye coordination.
A healthy schedule is like a bucket list that will tell you if what you are operating on is working for you to live a healthy life. Create it now and try to follow it throughout the year and you’ll be amazed by what you’ll achieve come to the end of 2019.
We wish you a healthy New Year 2019!!
