As we embark on a new year, many of us are trying to make some health-conscious changes to our daily routines. Picking up healthy habits is an excellent way to support your wellbeing on a physical, mental, and emotional level. But getting started can feel a little overwhelming. Where do you start? From making exercise a daily habit to working with 3natural Bionutrition to advance your nutritional health, here are some of our best tips to boost your health in the new year!
Develop a Stress Management Strategy
Chronic stress can take a heavy toll on your health. As Healthline explains, constant stress can cause headaches, insomnia, heartburn, stomach aches, high blood pressure, muscle tension, and even fertility problems. Thankfully, there are plenty of actions you can take to relieve stress in your daily life. Beyond exercising, eating healthy, and getting enough sleep, another way to control your stress involves keeping your home clean and clutter-free. Your home should feel like a fresh and vibrant space where you can relax and clear your mind. If the energy in your home feels negative, it’s time to do some cleaning!
Make Exercise a Habit
Regular physical activity is one of the very best ways to keep your body and mind in top shape! Not only will exercise help you feel your best on a day-to-day basis, but it will also help prevent chronic diseases like heart disease, diabetes, and obesity. The key to developing a daily exercise habit is to start small and go slow!
The importance of regular exercise cannot be understated, especially as we grow older. AARP reports that people lose an average of 30% of their muscle strength between the ages of 50 and 70. Thankfully, seniors can engage in a variety of exercises to keep their muscular endurance robust. Any amount of exercise is better than none! If you’re stuck indoors due to bad weather, try heading to the mall for a brisk 30-minute walk, following bodyweight workout videos in your living room, or investing in a gym membership.
Practice Eating Clean
No active lifestyle is complete without a healthy diet. Eating clean will do so much for your body and brain! Clean foods fill your body with vitamins and minerals, healthy fats, and high-quality protein without loading on extra calories. This year, make it a goal to ditch processed foods and sugar-laden snacks and embrace whole, natural foods like fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, legumes, nuts, seeds, lean meats, and fatty fish.
Support Your Diet with Nutritional Supplements
Even when you’re trying to eat a balanced diet, getting all of those recommended nutrients can be a challenge. The new year could be a great chance to introduce a few nutritional supplements into your arsenal! Some of the most common nutrient deficiencies in the U.S. include iron, vitamin D, vitamin B12, and magnesium, so these could be a great place to start! Different vitamins are best taken at certain times of the day. Take the time to learn about your supplements so you can maximize your benefits.
Go to Bed Earlier
Sleep is one of the most overlooked contributing factors to a healthy lifestyle. If you’re not getting enough sleep, you’re going to find it really difficult to maintain your New Year’s resolutions. Going to bed early might be as simple as overcoming a habit of sleep procrastination. If, on the other hand, you’re dealing with insomnia, look for natural remedies before turning to medication. Try developing better sleep hygiene habits like sticking to a regular sleep schedule, getting plenty of natural light exposure during the day, and turning off your devices at least one hour before bed.
The start of a new year is a perfect time to make healthy habit changes that will help you thrive in the months ahead. When it comes to health, the simplest actions tend to have the biggest impact. Keep your goals realistic and build on them throughout the year!
