Overall wellness during these unprecedented times

Since 2020 started, it is hard to believe that our lives have changed so dramatically in just four short months. More people are now home all day and some have even taken on new roles in their families lives. It is important that through all of this transition, we must take time to take care of ourselves along with those that we love. Here are a few tips to help you work toward overall wellness while practicing social distancing.
 
  • Routine: It is easy for us to let go of our daily routine while being home all day but it is vitally important for not only your physical well-being but also your emotional well-being. This is especially true for children as they are homeschooling. Be sure to set bedtimes for not only them but yourself as well. Stick to mealtimes as best as possible and limit snacking.
  • Staying Hydrated: Drinking fluids is very important but especially during this time. Here is a link to an article from Harvard Health about the benefits of staying hydrated. https://www.health.harvard.edu/staying-healthy/the-importance-of-staying-hydrated
  • Exercise: Being stagnant has never been easier than when we are required to stay away from others. Try creating a home gym or a fitness routine even if it is just walking around your neighborhood. Also, remember to include children so they can burn energy and stay fit. Here is a link to an article about FREE fitness classes: https://www.fastcompany.com/90481514/these-free-online-exercise-offers-will-help-keep-you-fit-and-sane-during-the-coronavirus-pandemic 
  • Healthy food choices: The adage of you are what you eat still rings true. If you eat a lot of junk food then you’re body cannot function as it is intended. We are an example to our children so they will mimic whatever practices you do. Make an effort at choosing healthy snacks and meals when possible.
  • Boost Your Immune System: Many health experts agree there are several ways to naturally boost your immune systems from getting adequate sleep, quitting smoking, increase vitamins such as C and D, adding a probiotic as well as staying hydrated. A few “immune-boosting” foods you can try are citrus fruits and red bell peppers (great source of Vitamin C), broccoli, ginger, garlic, spinach and yogurt (has natural probiotics)
 
While looking after your wellness, other things you might try to add joy in your life could be trying a new recipe, a new hobby, learn a new language, or learn about a new topic. Use this time to create new memories, as we are getting the family time many of us want and need.
