It’s a new year, and that means you’ve got a great excuse to pick up better health habits for the year ahead. Don’t put your health off and find yourself feeling regretful when spring kicks off—take steps today that will put you on the path to feeling great and looking the part, too.
A lot of folks will make resolutions to work out more, and that’s important. But every bit as important as daily exercise? A daily stretching routine. Stretching regularly keeps your muscles primed for rigorous activity, and it may even help safeguard you against injury. Better still, a stretching routine also comes in handy during the 9-to-5, allowing you to avoid back and neck pain that might come from working at a desk.
Picking up healthier eating habits is another common New Year’s resolution. But what about your water intake? Drinking more water helps your body function at optimal levels and can even reduce joint inflammation and provide additional support for your spine. What’s more, if you drink a good amount of water each day, you’ll have more natural energy and feel less fatigued.
No doubt, this is a busy time of year for you and the family. You’re still catching up from the stress of the holidays and getting yourself back into a good rhythm. But no matter how many responsibilities pile up, it’s always important to make time for yourself. Whether it’s ensuring a good night’s sleep every night, building in 30 minutes for reading or meditation, or just sharing your frustrations and wins with your partner, self-care is critical for good emotional health.
