5 Simple Healthy Habits You Can Do Today!
Some of you may be health habit pros, others may not know where to start. Here are 5 simple healthy habits you can sneak into your day.
Monitor your water intake
Dehydration can lead to unclear thinking, mood changes, constipation, kidney stones, unhealthy blood pressure, overall unhappiness and discomfort. Whether you exercise frequently or not, the biggest life hack ever is to simply up your water intake. Are you getting enough water?
Walk
For every hour of sitting, walk for two minutes. If it’s raining and you have to walk in circles in your living room, do that! The American Heart Association recommends 150 minutes of exercise each week, that's 5 days of 30 minutes when broken down. Keep in mind, movement doesn’t have to be something you hate or overly strenuous to be beneficial. Jenkintown, PA offers beautiful scenery, local shops and makes for a great walking town. If you’re close to The Abington Club, you can even walk to the gym!
A Body in Motion Stays in Motion
Sneak micro exercises into your day wherever you can! Are you waiting for something to heat up in the microwave? Do 30 squats, 30 heel lifts, or arm circles to get your blood flowing.
Perception
Rather than saying “I have to go to the gym” say “I get to go to the gym”, shift the narrative. This can be applied to anything in your life. “I get to do laundry” if you’re doing laundry, it likely means you have clothes, working water and electricity, which is wonderful! Find gratitude in everything you do.
Phone Rewards
We don’t need a graph or pie chart to know we all spend more time on our phones these days. Create a morning and/or before bed routine with a physical checklist that you complete before looking at your phone. It can be as simple as brushing your teeth, taking your vitamins, washing your face, saying 5 things you are grateful for.
