Spring is a great time to create healthy new habits and break the old. Here’s a to-do list that will bring real results you can see and feel.
1. Get moving. The weather is warm and the days are getting longer, which makes it a perfect time to get active outside. Even a 20-minute walk around the neighborhood will put a spring in your step.
2. Pump up the fruits and veggies. Take advantage of the variety of produce (often local) that’s available starting in the spring.
3. Drink more water. Drink plenty of water before exercising and throughout the day. It helps fight weight gain and fatigue. Sometimes you may think you’re dragging because you’re hungry, when what you really need is to be better hydrated.
4. Protect your skin. Use a sunscreen with SPF 15 or higher that protects against UVA and UVB rays. Don’t forget the hat and sunglasses!
