ElmTreePT&Wellness | Is Back Pain Slowing You Down

3 WAYS TO INVEST IN YOUR HEALTH 1. make sure to eat healthy. Eating healthy doesn’t mean you have to stay away from all sweets and salty snacks, it just means being smart about your food choices. Try swapping out your burger for lunch for a healthy meal of salmon and asparagus and buy less sugary snacks at the grocery store. 2.exercise regularly. We all have unique bodily compositions. You don’t have to work out so hard that you pass out! Find a workout that raises your heart rate as much as feels comfortable for you. In this sense, exercise turns into medication. 3. get to sleep at a decent hour. Everywhere we look nowadays, there’s a glow of blue light glaring back at us. Try to put your phone down and turn your television off in the evenings so your mind and body have a chance to slow down and get ready for sleep. Staying up until two in the morning is setting your body up for exhaustion. If you must have a light on at night, Harvard Health suggests “[using] dim red lights for night lights. Red light is less likely to shift circadian rhythm and suppress melatonin.”
