Try out these tips to help you have a healthier year.

If one of your New Year’s resolutions was to get healthy in 2019, you probably already have plans to improve your diet and exercise regimen. However, there’s no need to stop your efforts there. There are many other things you can do to live a healthier lifestyle this year. Here are some of the suggestions you should try.

• Get More Sleep

While it’s easier said than done, try to improve your sleep schedule this year. Our bodies require deep sleep to repair all the damage that has been suffered throughout the day. Additionally, getting enough sleep can also alleviate feelings of stress and irritability and improve your productivity. Try to consistently sleep at an earlier hour in order to get the recommended seven to nine hours of sleep each night, and you are sure to feel much better this year.

• Drink More Water

Staying hydrated is an important part of maintaining a healthy lifestyle. When your body is properly hydrated, it has an easier time fighting off illnesses, flushing out toxins, and minimizing weight gain. Additionally, drinking more water has cosmetic benefits as well. When you are well-hydrated, you can reduce the appearance of dark circles, wrinkles, and even acne.

• Take Some Time for Yourself

While most people focus on their physical well-being when they want to get healthier, they often neglect their mental health. While caring for your mental health sounds scary, there are simple things you can do for yourself. Simply setting aside an hour or two a day to focus on the things you love is an easy way to combat stress, anxiety, and depressive thoughts.

These are some of the things you should do to get healthier in 2019.  Want another way to take care of yourself this year?  Make sure you have the right health insurance protection in place.  For assistance with all your coverage needs, contact Nick Agliato (nickAgliato@wilk4800.com) at Steve Wilk Insurance.  Check out our new office at 310 S Main Street, Suite C, Lombard, IL 60148.
