💫WORLD HEALTH DAY💫
❣️When discussing health it’s important to think about the fact that not everyone has access to good healthcare.
❣️This is one of the reasons we don’t have as much control over our health as people tend to believe.
❣️There are, however, 4 areas of health we can work on on a daily basis; sleep, nutrition, exercise and mood.
1️⃣Good sleep is based on quality and quantity.
A way to improve both of these is to have a regular bed and wake time and to improve your sleep hygiene. [ has a webinar coming up very soon on exactly this].
2️⃣Eating enough throughout the day will fuel you for your daily activities.
Don’t obsess over it but making sure you get a mix of micro and macro-nutrients will lead to a balanced diet.
3️⃣If possible, move more and sit less.
Do some form of movement everyday, be it walking, dancing or weightlifting. Whatever works for you and gets you moving.
Setting yourself (realistic) goals may help motivate you to keep doing this in the long run.
If you are glued to your desk all day, this will have a detrimental impact on your health.
Set an alarm once an hour to get up for five minutes and make a cup of tea or do some star jumps, whatever really. This will increase your concentration as well.
4️⃣You can improve your mood and mental health in general by:
Socialising regularly - an amount that feels doable to you without feeling overwhelming.
Do one activity (however small) everyday for your mental wellbeing, this could be having a phone free hour before bed, going for a walk/run or journalling.
