Healthy habits

               Blog #3 Healthy habits 

This is my third blog post in my 6 part blog series on Making the best out of the pandemic. In this blog I will be writing about different habits to stay healthy.

Plan Your Meals

Planning your meals helps you to save time and money in the long run. Keep your goals in mind whether it’s losing weight or cutting down on calories . By planning you know what you're eating and

Drink plenty of water

Staying hydrated is very important and comes with many benefits. It can help you lose weight, and prevent obesity and type 2 diabetes which are linked to sugary drinks. If you aren't a fan of plain water, add flavor with slices of orange, lemon, lime, watermelon, or cucumber.

Go offline

Checking your email and social media a lot? Sure, your friends' and family's latest updates are just a click away, but do you really need to see pictures of your cousin's latest meal? Let it wait until morning. Set a time to log off and put the phone down. When you cut back on screen time, it frees you to do other things. Take a walk, read a book, or help your cousin chop veggies for their next great dinner.

Learn something new

New skills help keep your brain healthy. Sign up for a dance class or a creative writing workshop. Better yet, master a new language. The mental work it takes can slow the signs of aging and may even delay the effects of Alzheimer's disease.

Sleep well

Sleeping well sharpens memory and focus, and helps you learn new things. In the long term, it lowers your risk of heart disease and helps you keep trim. Aim to get 7 to 9 hours a night. For the best rest, do it on schedule, turning in and waking up at about the same times every day.
