Moms have a lot on their plate with kid activities, home life, work and preparing meals just to name a few. With all that moms have to do in a day it’s important to take care from the inside out. Here are some healthy tips to help you keep up with life’s daily demands:
Is Good Fuel Going In?
Is your plate filled with lots of color coming from vegetables and fruits? Aim for at least half your plate of veggies, a handful of lean protein and some fruit or other complex carbohydrates like a sweet potato, quinoa or brown rice.
Are You Sweating?
Getting daily exercise is just as important as eating healthy to keep your body a lean machine. Aim for at least 30 minutes of activity such as walking, running, biking, yoga, strength training or swimming.
Staying Hydrated?
Drinking half your body weight in ounces of water is crucial for digestion, skin and hair health, weight regulation and flushing out toxins among other things.
Getting Your Sleep?
As a mom, you may be the last to get your zzzz’s but it’s just as important for you to get at least 7 or more hours each and every night to feel your best and keep up with everything.
Taking “Me” Time?
Again, we tend to put ourselves last when it comes to taking time to do things we love. Got a hobby you haven’t touched in a while? Need a spa day? Night away with friends? Reading a book? Don’t forget to put away some time each and every day to recharge and have a quiet moment.
