Take Control Of Your Health
Taking control of your daily habits and the choices you make for yourself are critical steps toward living a healthy lifestyle. Living a healthy lifestyle does much more for you than staying in shape as you will find yourself with an improved mood, more energy, and reduced stress. NSUH physician wellness is something we prioritize to make sure our team is staying healthy and doing well.
Living a Healthy Lifestyle
Taking control of your health with these steps can make a difference in your life and make you happier and healthier.
- Sleep Seven Or More Hours A Night – Prioritizing getting enough sleep every night is a great way to make sure you will be energized throughout the day. Not getting enough rest can lead to poor health conditions, a lack of energy, and motivation, and negatively impact your mood. You can improve your sleep quality by not looking at screens close to bedtime and being in a dark and quiet environment. Good sleep quality can lead to better productivity and well-being.
- Eat Healthily – Having a well-balanced diet is easily one of the best things you can do to take care of yourself. Your diet should be composed of fruits, vegetables, lean protein, low-fat dairy, and whole grains. Eating healthy can improve your mood, strengthen your bones and decrease your risk of disease.
- Exercise Regularly – Exercise has so many benefits including reducing stress, strengthening muscles, and improving energy and mood. For adults, at least 150 minutes of moderate exercise or 75 minutes of vigorous exercise is recommended per week. Some great types of exercise include walking, running, swimming, lifting weights, and biking.
- Drink Water – Drinking enough water every day shouldn’t be overlooked as our bodies are 60% water and our muscles are about 80% water. Staying hydrated every day improves your energy level, brain functioning, and physical performance. To read more about living a healthy and happy lifestyle click here.
