Simple Tips to Support Your Health
- EAT WELL
- MOVE WELL
- LIVE WELL
- Try to aim for 4 colours of whole foods on your plate at any time – the most important one is green. Most green vegetables are packed with building nourishment
- Nourishing the whole body is just as important as eating well. Find some time for a bit of self care – including good sleep, exercise, stress management, creativity etc.
- Make a shopping list before going to the store. Shop around the outside of the store where most of the whole foods are – stock up on frozen vegetables to have access to at anytime
- Take the time to clear your pantry of foods that are processed or artificial and fill it with ingredients that will nourish your body. Read the labels and check for high sodium levels, added sugar or colouring!
- Try to move your body everyday, this may include going for a walk at lunch time or doing some stretches before bed
- Try to add some resistance work into your workouts to load your bones - but maintain good form!
- Stretching is just as important as strengthening, especially if you play sports
- Add a variety of movement to your exercise routine...yoga or Pilates one day, then lift weights, hike, bike and/or swim
- Carve out 10 minutes in your morning to do a checkin with your body – add some deep breathing, maybe some meditation or some stretching. Listen to what your body is saying – is it tired or ready to go?
- Connect to our social circle at least once a week – get out for a walk, play cards and laugh, have tea or coffee or go to a Pilates class together
- Get rid of distractions that can veer you off track – this mostly comes in the form of social media, turn off your device or put it down!
- It is important to get a good nights sleep, so set a time to shut down all of your technology and enjoy some quiet time just before bed
