Nancy In light of the pandemic, many of us are social distancing or self-quarantining. We have lost the normal routine and are spending more time indoors. With the closure of gyms, it is harder for us to exercise and stay motivated to exercise. However, it is important that we stay active eventhough our routines may be restricted. Many people have gained weight due to disrupted routines and increased in stress.
If you want to stay fit, here are 5 ways that you can do to start your journey to having a better body to feel great.
1. Be Sure to Get Sleep
Not getting enough sleep or staying up late on a regular basis will affect your waistline. It is important to get between 6 to 8 hours of sleep to keep the body going throughout the day. If you are tired after coming home from work, you may take a power nap of 10 minutes to recharge so that you can still sleep early later. When not getting enough sleep, the body hormones can become imbalance and you may feel hungrier or more tired.
2. Remove Bad Habits
There are certain things that we can cut back on like smoking or snacking on junk food or sugary food. To reduce the chances of snacking too much, it is best to create a workspace that is away from the kitchen. Also, be mindful of the snacks and meal time to avoid overindulging. Unhealthy habits is bad for health.
3. Eating The Right Food
Try to stay away from too much sugary food. Eating fruits and vegetables are best to keep in shape. Some fruits like apples do a good job in keeping the tummy feel full. Also stick to lean meat for protein and healthy nutrients to keep muscles fit and ready for workouts. It will be good to portion your meal into smaller portions by eating 6 times a day instead of 3 large meals a day.
4. Reduce Your Stress
Stress can cause many problems like cardiovascular trouble to digestive problems. It is important that we learn how to manage stress. Meditation, exercise and doing things that we love like listening to music or being in nature can help to alleviate the effects of stress.
5. Stay Physically Active
Besides taking care of our mental health, it is also important to stay on active. Exercise is the key. Even if it is just a walk a few times a week, exercise is important in our daily routine to stay fit and healthy. Apart from getting regular exercise, it is equally important to wear the right workout gear. With the right clothes, it can impact the performance.
