You can choose to ignore the simple steps to staying healthy and living a life of illness and stress, but why choose to do so? Below are some simple healthy habits to start incorporating into your life right now.
- Start with a healthy breakfast. It doesn’t have to be a full buffet, but your body needs energy to function, so – yes, it’s true that breakfast is the most important meal of the day.
- your body needs sleep to work properly. Children need more sleep than adults, and while as adults we feel like we can “function” with 4-5 hours, we need a lot more. Our bodies heal while we sleep so make sure you get at least 6-7 hours each night.
