4 Ways to Get Healthy in the New Year

Mental and physical health are interconnected. When you lead a healthy lifestyle, it’s much easier to manage and overcome the stresses that you face. Try adopting these simple habits to improve your physical well-being and create a healthy foundation for your future.

Make Time for Breakfast
One out of every ten Americans skips breakfast. This seemingly small oversight might actually be extremely detrimental to your health. Eating breakfast will increase your energy levels, improve your mental acuity, and reduce your risk of weight problems and heart disease. Even if it’s just a few bites, try to eat something at the start of every day; you might find that the rest of your health goals are that much easier to achieve.

Go for a Daily Walk
Daily exercise is important, and so is exposure to the sun. Plan to take a 10-30 minute walk every day, weather permitting. You can walk down to a nearby coffee shop on your lunch break, take your pet around the block a few times, or even use an after-dinner stroll as an excuse to spend quality time with your spouse. Change your walking path often to keep yourself engaged with new sights and surroundings.

Get Enough Sleep
If late-night projects and early mornings have you feeling drained, it might be time to reconsider your sleep schedule. Adults need at least 7-9 hours of sleep to function properly. Figure out how many hours you need to feel rested, and commit to getting that much sleep every night. You’ll immediately start to notice improvements in your energy levels, short-term memory, and overall health.

Eat Your Vegetables
Whether you like them fresh, frozen, or even canned, resolve to incorporate more vegetables into your diet this year. Look for choices that are high in fiber and nutrients like iron and Vitamin C. Try frozen favorites like green beans, broccoli, and pre-cut carrots. Fresh options include onions, leafy greens, and anything that’s in season. Even a single serving of vegetables with dinner every night should be enough to leave you feeling full, energetic, and in a good mood.

Good health comes from a balanced diet, a regular sleep schedule, and a mindful attitude towards your body’s needs. If you don’t feel good, think about whether you’ve had adequate rest, nutrition, and exercise in the last few days. By changing just a few habits, you can make sure you’re ready for any challenge that life throws your way.
