1. Start your day with a tall glass of water.

You’re already dehydrated when you wake up in the morning, so drinking water, broth, or herbal tea will help energize you, improve your complexion, and help regulate your blood pressure. An easy way to remember if you’re getting enough water is to drink half your body weight in ounces. For example, if you weigh 150 lbs, you should drink at least 75 ounces each day.

Make it easier by keeping water by your bedside as a reminder. Set a daily alert or app and sip water from a reusable bottle throughout the day. Click here to see more ways to increase your water and healthy liquid intake. Check out the latest Exipure reviews.

2. Walk for 10 minutes at a time.
‘Exercise more’ is at the top of most New Year’s resolutions lists. But it can be difficult or overwhelming to know the best way to begin. Start small if you need to since every little bit of movement adds up. Just 2 hours of exercise per week can improve your heart health, lung capacity, blood pressure, and weight.
Make it easier by walking for 10 minutes each day. Go longer if you feel like it but commit to those 10 minutes to establish the habit. Gradually add minutes, distance, or more 10-minute walks into your day.

3. Take a day off to take care of your mental health.
Making your health a priority can be challenging when you’re busy or taking care of others. The pandemic continues to add stress for all of us, which affects home, work, and school. Many people find it difficult to take a “sick day” to care for their mental health through it all. Here’s why.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed by job stress, life changes, or family responsibilities, get the support you need from an MDLIVE licensed therapist. You can speak with someone from the privacy and comfort of home and have your appointment in a week or less compared to the weeks or months it takes to schedule an in-person visit.
