STAYING HEALTHY THIS YEAR ENJOY THE NEW SCHOOL YEAR TO ITS FULLEST!
Focusing on your mental health is just as important as your physical health. During the school year, both students and parents can experience high stress levels due to tests or managing strict schedules. REDUCE STRESS If your children or grandchildren are going to school, there’s bound to be stress gripping the family. A helpful way to manage or reduce your stress is to not overload yourself. Set goals, create schedules, exercise, and set time aside for yourself. Having a full school and work load can be overwhelming, but if you manage your time wisely, you'll avoid the full brunt of it. GET ENOUGH SLEEP Not getting enough sleep can lead to a slew of problems. Some of the side effects of getting little sleep include an inability to focus, lack of energy, and a weakened immune system. Setting up a sleep schedule
and sticking with it can help you get a full night's rest. Also, ensure that your body and mind have thirty minutes to relax before bed without any technology. This can help your brain produce melatonin, which helps you fall asleep. FOCUS ON NUTRITION While grabbing takeout or stopping by a fast-food restaurant might save you time after a long day at work or school, it's not the healthiest option. Focusing on your diet can be tricky throughout the school year, but what you eat affects your attentiveness, energy levels, and the minerals and vitamins you need to avoid illness. On the weekend, plan out your meals for the week and go shopping for the ingredients you’ll need — this ensures that you’ll have food to eat at home. Set time aside for yourself for at least three meals a day, or be sure to pack healthy snacks you have access to throughout the day.
