3 Easy Ways to Build Healthy Habits in 2018 | AFC Urgent Care Memphis

We don’t know about you, but our team at AFC Urgent Care Memphis feels like our holiday season was a little less healthy than we’d have liked! Filled with rich, delicious foods and very little exercise, the month of December can leave us feeling less than our best. But there are some easy ways to help get your health back on track in the new year!

A Healthy Living Start for the New Year

Most of us know that it’s important to include healthy balanced meals and regular exercise into our lives. However, healthy habits don’t end there. Let’s look at some other ways to add healthy living habits into your day.

First, start your morning off with a little you time. Yes, you read that sentence right. In 2018, you are going to make yourself a priority by taking a few moments in the morning just for you. You don’t have to spend tons of time here, but find an activity that calms and focuses you to get you started on the right foot.

Second, take regular breaks throughout your day. Whatever your normal daily routine is, you need to take at least a 10-minute break at least every hour or so. If you want your brain to work as effectively as possible, then you need to give it a break. You’ll be more focused and productive after your break, so it’s a win all around.

Finally, make sure you are keeping water near you at all times. You can jazz it up by adding slices of lemon and/or cucumber to it. While necessary water intake varies by person, it’s a good idea for everyone to sip water throughout the day to remain well-hydrated. If you’re exercising, be sure to drink up—before, during and after your workout.
