If you found 2021 hard on your health then make 2022 your year. You may have been stuck indoors for the most part so your immunity may have taken a bit of a nosedive. To get back to you there are some things you can do. It is important to remember your mental health as well as your physical health. Listen to what your body is telling you.
Diet
The first step to take is focusing on your diet, making small changes here will mean the world to your health. A common problem that people will comment on is that healthy food is far more expensive than junk food, and also junk food fills you up for longer. However, the problem with eating unhealthy food for a prolonged amount of time is that you are opening yourself up to weight-related conditions such as diabetes and heart disease.
If you find yourself struggling with portion sizes and are unsure of what to eat then you could consult the help of a nutritionist who can guide you through eating healthier. You can also take supplements that will keep you fuller for longer. MCT oil has many benefits for you and your body including preventing the onset of Alzheimer’s and Dementia. It also helps with weight loss and muscle recovery when exercising.
Exercise
As well as focusing on your diet it is important that you incorporate exercise into your daily routine. Exercise is not only good for your physical health but your mental health as well. Have you ever felt an overwhelming sense of pride and joy after exercising? Those feelings happen due to endorphins and serotonin being released when you exercise, otherwise known as the happy hormones.
The key to a great workout is finding something you enjoy doing so you don’t view it as exercise. If you like swimming, cycling, or even hiking then these are all great workouts. Swimming especially as it provides a full-body workout while you feel nothing at all.
Remember to drink plenty of water when you are exercising to replenish the water lost through sweating and breathing. You should be aiming to drink at least two liters of water a day, this equates to around eight glasses.
Checkups
In order for your health to be on top form, you should be attending regular checkups with your doctors. This is especially true if you have pre-existing medical conditions. Don’t assume that if you feel fine there is nothing going on under the surface. If you are called for an appointment it is better to go just to be on the safe side.
You should regularly attend opticians and the dentist. You need both your eyes and your teeth so can’t afford to lose the use of these. opticians can detect problems with your eyes before you realize it is happening. Technology is very advanced these days so the tiniest problem can be detected and resolved.
