How To Keep Healthy At Home!
Want to know how to keep healthy at home? That’s a great question asked by many. With the hustle and bustle of today’s world people can quite often get caught up in their own world and forget to keep themselves fit and healthy.
Many Moms and even Dad’s who look after their young kids at home may forget to look after themselves at the same time due to the constraint on time.
People working 9 to 5 also forget to look after themselves on a regular basis because they are so caught up in their work life and by the time that the working day is over they are just too tired to do anything else.
So how do we get around these problems? We can learn to keep ourselves healthy at home by watching what we eat, by doing some exercise and by trying to relax. Sounds simple doesn’t it? Well it can be, let me show you how by breaking it up for you in 3 simple steps:
Try To Eat Right At Home
Always start the day with a healthy breakfast number 1. Your body needs this fuel first thing in the morning due to having fasted overnight from sleep to help fire you up for the day.
Make sure you drink plenty of water to keep you hydrated and healthy. Up to 8 glasses a day is recommended. Good tip is to always carry a drink bottle with you around the home or even when you are at work.
Make sure you snack consistently through out the day on healthy food like carrot sticks, celery, nuts, fruit etc. so that you keep control of those nasty sugar cravings.
If you are planning on getting take away food try to stick to the healthier options and avoid greasy, fatty and oily food.
Don’t eat huge meals prior to going to bed as this is a sure way of putting on weight and not good for your digestive system.
Make Exercise Part of Your Routine At Home
Try to do some exercise in the morning prior to the day starting. It is well documented that at this time of the day is when you burn most calories. Go for a quick run or even a brisk walk with the dog if you can.
Get yourself a home gym. No excuses not to keep healthy and fit if you have your own home gym at home. There are many out there so why not invest in a home gym to help keep you fit at home.
You can also incorporate some push ups and sit ups at the end or start of the day to help you stay healthy and fit at home.
Learn To Relax Well At Home
Lastly, it is important to try and relax once you are in your home environment. This may sound silly but actually staying healthy also includes your mental health as well. If you are able to de-stress in your home then you are well on your way to keeping yourself fit both physically and mentally.
So how do you relax at home I hear you ask? It may be as simple as running a warm bath for yourself once the kids have gone to bed. Maybe having a glass of wine with your other half. Maybe just curling up on the couch in front of the t.v and watching your favorite show on the box.
Creating a relaxing atmosphere is also important at home and this is easily done through using calming oil scents or aromatherapy, by having your favorite tunes on in the background and by having a great book to indulge in.
Finally, having a good night’s sleep is vital to help you keep fit and healthy at home and to help you re-energize the batteries for the next busy day ahead. To promote sleep and to have a good deep sleep teas like chamomile tea can be drunk and soothing herbs like lavender can be placed inside your pillow case to help you get a great night sleep.
So learning how to keep healthy at home isn’t that hard once you put the 3 above factors into place. If you eat well, exercise well and rest well then your home can be a great place to keep yourself fit and healthy.
