Daily Habits That Make A Difference
Get up! Engaging in physical activity boosts your metabolism so get moving! Take laps around the building at work, walk on your lunch break, take the stairs instead of the elevator. Just get moving!
Relax! When we are stressed, it affects our appetite. Some people stress eat while other turn away their plates. Neither option is healthy. Spend 60 seconds at the top of each hour and practice deep breathing. Maintain a healthy distance from stressful situations and people as best as possible.
Eat fats! Yes, I said it, eat fats. '“Good” fats such as nuts and nut butters, avocados, and fish provide sustainable energy throughout your day. Pair this with a carb and/or a protein and you have a power packed snack to get you through that mid-afternoon slump.
Lift! Lift weights, even if it’s your own. If you have access to a gym, engage in resistance training to not only build muscle but boost your metabolism and mobility. If you do not have access, there are loads of effective bodyweight exercises that you can do right in your home. (Click here for an at-home workout: https://youtu.be/hPX56Yy67Xk)
Sleep! Get your rest ladies. Your body needs proper time to rest and recover. Not getting enough sleep can lead to unnecessary snacking, higher levels of stress and fluctuations in your metabolism.
