Stress is one of the deadliest killers out there. Step back from requests to do more, more, MORE. Set aside time each day for YOU. Relax, chat, read a chapter in a favorite book. You will become more stress-free and healthier in the process. Do it today!
HIIT exercises are one of the best things you can do for your health. High Intensity Interval Training. It's easy. Alternate between activity and rest. 5 sit-ups, then take a break. Run up the stairs, then rest. Several knee bends, then several minutes to recover. See? You CAN do this!
With the long nights of February, you have the perfect opportunity to call the day early and get your full 7 to 9 hours of rest. Don't shortchange yourself here. Lack of sleep can cause memory issues, a weakened immune system (think fighting off colds and the flu), and high blood pressure. Stay healthy! Get to bed early when you can!
If you have to be in the office, find those healthful moments when you can. Volunteer to get the morning coffee (a walk down the hall), pick up forms from the mailroom (a brisk stroll), and TAKE THE STAIRS RATHER THAN THE ELEVATOR. You can maintain a healthy lifestyle. This is your life. Make the best of it.
We all do it. That box of Valentine's candy is too good to resist (and it's only one day out of the year, we tell ourselves). Now, though, it's time to burn it off. A good first step before attacking the treadmill is to hydrate. If 8 glasses of water a day seem excessive, do what you can. Lethargy and headaches ... gone! Then, out the window with those extra pounds. Yes!! You've got this!!
