Here are some healthy life style tips to help you take some "self care" steps.
- Do Yoga. Not only is it great for the body, yoga can help you to relax. All you need is a place to close your eyes and quiet your mind.
- Moderation is the key to healthy eating. Enjoy whole grains, lean meats, fruits and veggies more often and save treats for special occasions.
- Exercise is cumulative. Short on time? Remember that all your exercise adds up. If you can’t get in a full workout, try to be active several times throughout the day.
- Check out ExerciseTV.com for pilates, strength training and everything in between. The programs run anywhere from 5 to 30 minutes and are free!
- To achieve better sleep, make sure that you are in total darkness, the room is not to warm and avoid caffeine and alcohol before bedtime.
- Remember that rest is just important as exercise. Listen to your body and take time off when you need to.
- For a quick and easy breakfast, try this morning smoothie. Toss ½ cup of milk, ½ cup of yogurt, half a frozen banana, 1 tbsp of peanut butter and 1 tsp of cocoa in a blender and enjoy!
