Sleep 

You need to ensure you are getting good quality sleep and enough sleep each night. A good amount to aim for is 8 hours per night. This gives your body enough time to recharge and refuel ready for the day ahead. Some things can, of course, impact your sleeping, you might have an old lumpy mattress, these need to be changed roughly every 8 years so if yours is older than that then it is time for a new one. Stress can have a huge impact on your sleep, it can cause insomnia and restlessness, be sure to try and clear your mind before going to sleep.

If you need some extra help improving your sleep then you could look into receiving NAD IV therapy. This has many benefits, one of which is improved sleep and feeling more alert. 

Diet

Your diet is essential for staying fit and healthy. If you eat too much fatty unhealthy food then it will likely cause problems with your body in the long term if you continue to do so. Unhealthy junk food can lead to obesity, which can then lead to more significant issues such as heart disease, strokes, and diabetes. If you are unsure of portion control then you can google to see if that makes it clearer. However you could also purchase a portion control plate, this tells you what needs to be on your plate and how much of each food to consume. If you have a habit of filling your plate with food you could also try using a smaller plate. 

Exercise

Just like your diet, exercise is equally as important. You should be aiming for at least 30 minutes of exercise a day. This should ideally be a high intensity that gets your heart rate going, if you do gentle exercise then you should aim for around 45 minutes. Swimming is a wonderful form of exercise, it is fun and you don’t realize you are exercising. If you are a little bit older and want a calmer, more gentle form of exercise then you could try yoga.

If you are having difficulty with exercising on your own then you could benefit from joining an exercise class, this is a great way to meet like-minded people, make friends and lose or maintain weight. 

Water

Finally, you should be aiming to drink at least 8 glasses or 2 liters of water a day. This is important as your body loses water constantly throughout the day so it needs replenishing regularly. Drinking water also keeps you, your body, and your mind hydrated and believe it or not improves your memory and brain functions. 

Water can also help you if you are wanting to lose a few pounds. If you drink a glass of water before every meal it will prevent you from overeating as you will feel full much quicker with the help of the water. 

We hope this helps you understand some of the ways you can stay fit and well in 2021.
