3 Tips For Better Health

Are you not feeling your best? Perhaps you’ve been in an unhealthy headspace that has affected your health. Our anxiety, depression, and stress may manifest into unhealthy habits that are challenging to eliminate. 

You don’t need to spend crazy amounts of money on a gym membership or “miracle superfood” to help you reach optimal health. 

Sure, a personal trainer helps, but affording such service is unlikely if you are like most. However, if you are a trainer yourself, you might use this app to accept credit card payments or offer special deals. 

Still, help yourself because the small steps make the difference.  

Increase Your Water Intake

Drink water! It’s the easiest task to do, yet many fail to drink enough water. The U.S. National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine recommends men to drink 3.7 liters and women 2.7 liters per day. 

To put things into perspective, 1 liter is a little over 4 cups of water. That said, men should aim to drink 15.5 cups and women 11.5 cups of water.

Water intake also depends on your weight.

To calculate the number of liters to drink each day, multiply your weight in kilograms by 0.33. For example, if you weigh 100 kilograms (90 kg * 0.33), you would have to drink around 3 liters of water. 

Now that you know the recommendations have a glass of water when you wake up, 15 minutes before your meals, before and after a workout, and beforeTen thousand going to bed.

10,000 steps sound like a mouthful. But, the trick of completing this daily goal is to keep your body moving. 

Instead of driving to the grocery store, walk there. When working online and sitting for several hours, take a fifteen-minute break to stretch, walk around, and relax your eyesight. 

Running two miles will help you win half of the battle. Next, say no to the elevator and take the stairs. If you own a treadmill, read and work while you walk or run. When riding the bus, take off a few stops early and walk the rest of the way home. 

Start Being More Active

Being active means different things to different people. To some, being active is about walking their dogs, playing tennis, dedicating thirty minutes to a home workout, or going to the gym.To others, activity may not include working out every day but ensuring they avoid sitting down for long periods. 

Regardless of your age and understanding of the activity, it’s important to recognize how active you are. 

Commit to working out by walking more, going for a swim, playing a friendly game of basketball, hiking, surfing, biking, or trying out a new sport. 

Whichever your interests, there’s a way for you to increase your activity. Little by little, you’ll watch your stamina improve, your body will start accepting the change, and before you know it, you’ll get used to a routine.
