HEALTHY HABITS TO TRY EACH DAY OF DECEMBER

It can be such a complicated month of fitting in all the things we want to do as well as all the things we need to do. When time is tight, the first thing to do is usually taking care of our health and ourselves.

1. Embrace seasonal foods.

My favorite fruit of the this season has to be peaches. They’re a great combination of juicy and sweet. Pick up enough fresh peaches and toss them in salads or eat them by the spoonful.

2. Set the tone.

Decide what matters to you this month and focus on that, whether it’s time spent with family and friends or something else. You can decide how you want the month to look like.

3. Fit in a body weight workout.

No time for the gym? Download a free 7 minutes workout app and do a total body workout at home, will get your heart rate up and leave plenty of time to wrap presents.

4. Take a stand.

Consider standing for part of your workday when possible. Start small by standing for tasks that you do multiple times throughout the day, such as checking email or returning phone calls.

5. Store memories

Find a box where your family can record milestones. Tuck it away with holiday decorations and dust it off next year. Each year, enjoy adding new memories and reflecting on years past.

6. Heat up the kitchen.

A simple strategy for eating healthier is to cook at home. But let’s face it: During the holidays, cooking is one of the last things we have time for but either way it got to be done

7. Get your morning movement fix.

Sit on the edge of the bed, roll each ankle in both directions. Next, stand up. Keeping your hands by your side, sit into a squat. Then, stand up bringing your arms into the air, rising up onto your toes and reaching as high as possible.
