I cant emphasize enough how important it is to take care our bodies.
When I look at body care, I see it from the INSIDE OUT. How does my body feel inside, how are my joints moving, how weak or strong do my muscles feel, how out of breath do I feel with one flight of stairs, how often do I poop! yup! I do think of it. and you should too!
Here are 10 things I strongly believe we should all do to do our part on keeping our body healthy and moving.
- Get enough sleep. I feel like I need 7-8 hours in order for me to feel great the next day.
- Move your body daily.
- Hydrate, drink 6-8 glasses of water a day.
- Nourish your body with the nutrients your body needs. Try the 80/20 method. Eat healthy, nutrient dense whole foods 80 percent of the time and the other 20 indulge in your favorite cheat meals.
- Take some time for a mental break, do some breathing exercises and just clear your mind.
- Take your vitamins, if you haven’t been told from your MD that you are deficient on a certain vitamin, make sure you are at least taking a multi-vitamin on a daily basis. I currently am on a Multi Vitamin from 1upNutriton and an additional dose of Vitamin D, doctors orders
- Take your medications!!!!! If you are on any medications for any health related issues, keep up with them.
- Keep up with your health! Visit the doctor for your annual physicals and for your routine check ups.
- Oral health is important too! Brush daily and visit the dentist regularly, you have no idea how much oral health can domino effect to the rest of your body’s wellbeing.
- REST. Listen to your body, when it feels tired, rest!
