Hello Everyone!
I'm back again with another Simply Ways To... blog post! Originally I was going to do 10 ways for every post, but I thought 5 went well with this one, and it will just depend on the topic, so here are my 5 ways to get healthy!
(Again I really should be taking my own advice here hahaha)
1. One of the best and most important ways to get healthy starts with the foods you eat. Now I will admit I do eat my share of junk food, but I also balance it out with healthy meals. Your body will only run at its best if you give it the best. I understand at first it's hard to go straight into eating healthy and that is why you take baby steps and introduce healthier options into your meals. For example, for that late night snack instead of going for a bag of chips get a piece of fruit :) Trust me it will make you feel so much better and give you more energy!(There will be a separate blog post for more on eating healthy)
2. Now another major way to get healthy is to exercise. (Yea I really need to start taking my own advice on this one) I'm not saying you have to go enroll yourself into a gym membership, but at least try to do some little things. You could go for a walk or a run, or do a simple at home work out. There are plenty of apps out there with at home workout routines for you to follow, my favorite app that I actually use is the Nike Training Club app it lets you customize your own workout program and keeps you on track.
3. Drink plenty of water! Now I am known to not drink enough water and honestly it shows. Not drinking enough water causes a lot more problems than you think. It makes you tired, you have a lack of energy, causes headaches, and it even dries out your skin. You should drink half of your body weight in ounces per day, and if you sweat a lot you should drink more. So if you weigh 100 pounds you should drink 50 ounces of water.
4. A great way to help you get healthy is trying to stay off electronics. Now this is hard for me because I am constantly doing homework, editing videos, and writing blog posts on my laptop. And I know a lot of you use electronics very often as well, whether it's for work or just to scroll through social media. But it is always good to try to take a break from the electronics. You may not know but they send out harmful radiation, that isn't good for us. Also starring at those screens for too long isn't good for our eyes.
5. Try to destress once in a while. Whether you're stressed out from school, work, or just life in general it's always good to take some time and try to get rid of all the stress. I know that I get extremely stressed out during the school year, between juggling AP and honors classes and just trying to be a teenager. So one of the things I am going to start doing is yoga. Yoga is a great stress reliever and is good for your body. Building up stress isn't good for anyone so to get rid of it you can: read a book, do some yoga, or just get some fresh air!
I hope you enjoyed my tips on getting healthy, and if you have any questions or suggestions be sure to leave them in the comments below!
