One of the things I love most about the new year is that it also means a fresh start. What are your goals for this year?
To help you get started on the right foot, I wanted to share some of my healthy tips for 2017:
- Start Meal Prepping – One of the things I offer to my clients in my customized programs is a customized meal plan. By planning your meals in advance, you’ll be less likely to reach for junk when you can’t think of something to eat! I recommend picking one day each week to meal prep for your entire week to help you stay on track.
- Eat Breakfast – This may seem obvious, but starting the day off with a nourishing breakfast will help you set a healthy intention for the rest of the day. Feel like you don’t have time to make breakfast? Try a nutrient-rich smoothie to enjoy on the go.
- Drink Lots Of Water – Many of us are dehydrated before we even realize it! Invest in a reusable water bottle and be sure to refill it multiple times a day. As an added bonus, proper hydration does wonders for your skin!
- Get Plenty Of Sleep – Having enough sleep affects your physical and mental health, and chances are you aren’t getting enough! Aim for at least 7-8 hours per night and invest in blackout curtains if you have a hard time staying asleep. Your body will thank you.
- Make Sure To Move – Exercise is important, and even if you are limited on time, a short 20 minute walk can do wonders for the body and spirit. Make this year the year you find an exercise you enjoy and commit to exercising 3-4 times a week.
- Make Time For Self-Care – This is one of the most important tips to help ensure you have a healthier year ahead. Take time to do something you love – whether it is journaling, getting your nails done, spending time outside, etc. and commit to doing it! Self-care is one of the best things you can do to ensure a happy and healthy lifestyle.
