After the holiday season, you can get back on track with your health by making some small changes to your eating habits, drinking more water, and exercising more. 


Eating habits 

  • Eat smaller portions

  • Choose healthier snacks like fruits and vegetables

  • Eat more fresh ingredients

  • Limit processed foods and sugary drinks

  • Eat balanced meals

  • Choose lean proteins


Hydration 

  • Drink plenty of water - approximately half your weight (in lbs) in oz

  • If you don't like water, infuse water with fruits, herbs, and spices

  • Limit sugary drinks


Exercise 

  • Gradually increase your activity level, and reduce sitting and screen time

  • I know someone who can help you pick safe, best "bang for your buck" exercises...your friendly neighborhood PT at either of our two locations would be happy to help 


Sleep 

  • Get enough good sleep

  • Try to get at least seven hours of sleep each night


Other habits 

  • Plan and prepare meals ahead of time so you're not just eating what is fast and easy and likely processed

  • Clear out the pantry

  • Reflect and forgive yourself for some of the recent health decisions and do better today
