Health tips and tricks 

1. Increase Your Vitamin D Intake

Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that's critical for bone health and immune function. In addition to being naturally present in foods like fatty fish, eggs, and fortified milk products, taking a daily supplement is recommended if you're not getting enough sun exposure. You can get some from supplements and sunlight, but experts recommend at least 10 minutes of direct sunlight for optimal production.

2. Get Enough Sleep

It turns out that sleep deprivation actually makes us less productive (and even feel worse about ourselves), especially when we're tired. A good night's rest helps boost our creativity and concentration, and helps us recover faster from illness and injury. Studies show that people who regularly get seven hours of shut-eye have lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels than those who don't hit that mark.

3. Stay Hydrated

Drinking water keeps your body properly lubricated and helps flush toxins out of your system. Water makes up 60 percent of your weight, so staying well hydrated is one way to slim down without dieting. And just think of how much healthier you'll feel after each glass!

4. Eat More Fruit & Vegetables

What could possibly be easier than eating something green? Fruits and vegetables are packed with antioxidants and fiber, helping us stay energized, fight inflammation, and maintain strong bones. Plus, they taste great! Try including them in your meals throughout the week—just make sure to select fresh, ripe produce.

5. Cleanse Your Body

The ultimate detox hack? Doing dishes. Not only does scrubbing away all the grime from your day help keep your home clean, it also cleanses your entire body. According to the American Chemical Society, the average person washes their hands about 1,100 times per year; doing so while wearing gloves cuts that figure down to almost 50 times. So washing up might not sound like a big deal, but it's a simple task that can drastically improve your health.

6. Slow Down

You might not realize how fast your reflexes and reactions are until you slow them down for 10 seconds. Scientists say focusing intently on a single thing slows down everything else around you, making you more aware of what you're seeing, hearing, touching, tasting, smelling, and thinking about. This technique also works well for relaxation and meditation.

7. Exercise

Exercise is great for burning calories and boosting confidence. We've got plenty of ways to move beyond the couch, whether you prefer running, biking, swimming, dancing, or working out in a group. Find whatever type of workout suits you best and stick to it.

8. Stay positive!

Negativity breeds negativity. When you find yourself getting down on yourself, take time out to think about what you've accomplished and how much you love yourself. Remind yourself of all the reasons you deserve happiness and success.

9. kind to yourself! 

Self-care isn't selfish. Taking care of yourself means taking care of your mind, body, and soul. Make sure you treat yourself to things you enjoy and give yourself credit for all the hard work you put in.
