3 Habits that will improve your health quickly Something I’ve been working on with our team since the start of the new year is how creating small habits can have a great outcome. I’m going to give you a quick rundown on how you can turn the tables, get back on track and see quick, positive results. SLEEP Yes, sleep…. it drastically affects so much more than just how tired you feel. We require 7-8 hours a night to optimally recover our bodies. Yet most of us get less than 6, due to social media, watching telly late into the evening or just having a poor bedtime routine. If you get 7-8 hours of actual, good quality sleep it’s not just your tiredness that you’ll see improve. You will be less stressed, your mood will be better and your brain will be sharper. There is also evidence that it can improve your overall health. NUTRITION The quality of what we put into our bodies is so important. It is so much more than simply eating what we fancy (although there is also a place for this!) As with sleep, you can change how well your body responds to food in a short time. The benefits of eating more mindfully can have many positive effects apart from just weight loss. Energy improves, skin improves, mood improves along with all kinds of good things that go off inside the body. If you were to change just 2 things for a MAXIMUM positive outcome that will change things within 7 days…. SLEEP and NUTRITION Serves are 2 super fast at responding. HYDRATION Notice I didn’t mention exercise? That’s because ½ lemon, juiced salt & pepper exercise is a long game played daily. HYDRATION, chopped like sleep and nutrition can again, quickly improve how your body functions and how fast 19 you produce results. Good hydration starts with around 2 litres of water (yes, just water) daily. Combine this with Serves 2 the other habits and you’re well on your way to improving your all-round health in less than 7 days. Take these up long term and the benefits could be life changing. Add in a little movement and… you’ve got an entirely different life. Good health doesn’t need to be complicated. By creating these three simple (4 if you want to move more) habits, you will change so much more than how you look in a mirror. Simple checklist: Sleep = 7-8 hours daily Nutrition = eat the rainbow Hydration = start at 2 litres of water daily (movement) = keep it simple. 8-10k steps a day is more than enough to start to see change. 2 tbsp. mayonnaise ¼ cup (70g) Greek yogurt 1 tbsp. tomato puree 2 green onions, sliced 1 tbsp. curry powder ½ lemon, juiced salt & pepper 14 oz.
