7 TIPS TO A HEALTHIER & STRONGER YOU! 1. Take care of aches and pains. Pain is never normal – it’s a sign that something is wrong. Ignoring pain can make the problem worse and harder to fix. Don’t let these long-term problems linger – schedule an evaluation with our team and get back to life without pain.
2. Limit your sitting. Today’s lifestyles are more sedentary than ever. Between long commutes, desk jobs, and decreased activity, sitting can wreak havoc on your lower back and joints. Make a concerted effort to get up and get some steps in every 30-60 minutes to keep your blood flowing and your joints moving.
3. Get out and move. Regular exercise is one of the best indicators of good health. Even just taking a walk every morning or after dinner can work wonders for your cardiovascular system.
4. Eat smarter. Eat food rich in vitamins to ensure you’re giving your body the nutrients you need to stay healthy. Strive for sensible portions and fill up on low calorie, nutrient dense foods like vegetables.
6. Breathe! Work on your deep breathing to increase oxygen intake and get your lymphatic system moving. Not only does it help your body function, it also is beneficial for your mind. Consider guided breathing exercises or meditation to center yourself.
5. Drink more water. Water keeps your cells hydrated so your body and all its systems can function at an optimal level. Make sure you are drinking water throughout the day – especially if you drink coffee, which dehydrates you.
7. Get enough sleep. Sleep at least 8 hours per night. It is best to get into a routine so you can go to bed and wake up on a regular cycle – it’ll program your body’s circadian rhythm and you’ll wake up more rested.
