Staying Healthy Today

Are you curious about how to maintain a healthy lifestyle in the midst of coronavirus chaos? Here are 5 simple ways you can: 

1.  Wash your hands! Washing your hands at least seven times a day can greatly reduce the risk of catching illnesses. Dry your hands with paper towels. Only use hand sanitizer as your last resort if you are unable to properly wash your hands. 

2.  Drink plenty of water! One of the benefits of drinking water is that adequate hydration has a huge impact on your immune system. Water helps all of your body’s systems function at optimum levels. Drinking plenty of water flushes toxins and ensures that your cells get all of the oxygen they need to function as they are meant to. Aim for 6-8 glasses per day. 

3.  Get 7-8 hours of sleep per night. While what constitutes as enough sleep varies from person to person, most studies show that average adults need at least 7 hours of sleep per night. Sleep deprivation suppresses your immune system and makes it harder to recover from illness. 

4.  Don’t touch your face even if you wash your hands a lot. You’re still bound to touch contaminated surfaces throughout the day. Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth to reduce the risk of infection.

5.  Keep up with your workouts, but do them at home! Exercise is scientifically proven to boost your immune system while creating an inhospitable environment for germs. Exercise can also help to de-stress, improve sleep, and lead to an upturn in your mood.
