Get Your Fresh Start in Spring
By Donna Stark
You may think the first week of January is the perfect time to start fresh, but there is another time during the year that is great for new beginnings too. What is it? It's when spring finally makes its official appearance! After all, if you are going to spring clean your home for a fresh environment, why not do it for your body as well? Here are some helpful suggestions from your local chiropractors at The Joint Chiropractic that are sure to get you started on the right path.
Consume a Well-Balanced Diet
The foundation of every healthy lifestyle is a well-balanced diet filled with fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and heart-healthy fats. Of course, you can indulge in a sweet treat or bag of chips every once in a while, but if you do so more often than not, that junk food you are eating will leave you feeling like junk! Make sure you are giving your body all the vitamins, nutrients, and minerals it needs by "eating the rainbow" and supplementing where necessary.
Engage in Physical Activity Every Day
Maybe you don't like the word exercise. That's OK if you don't. We don't even have to mention that word right now, but we do need to talk about physical activity because a body requires at least 30 minutes of it every day to remain healthy and mobile. It's important to keep your body in motion, so whether you like to go for a walk, play a round of tennis, or enjoy learning how to dance, just try to add more of it into your daily routine.
Get Your Sleep
Spring is the season when we clear out the cobwebs in our homes and in our bodies! But with all the extra activities we are engaged in, sleep has to be a priority! Fortunately, there are several ways you can improve the quality of your rest. Take a look at them below.
- Maintain a consistent sleep schedule
- Turn all electronic devices off at least an hour before bed
- Keep your bedroom dark, quiet, and cool
- Get a dose of sunlight as soon as you wake up
