Healthy Tips for the New Year

2024 is finally here! Ready to start your New Year off with a bang?

Read on to find out about a few things which can help give a kick start to your New Year’s health goals!

Consistent Exercise
Perhaps a bit of a no-brainer, but starting to get back into the habit of regular exercise can work wonders! Walking, running, cycling – whatever your preference, even just a small amount of exercise can have a positive impact not just on your physical health, but on your mental health as well. Exercise can give a nice boost to your self-esteem, mood and sleep quality; all great for helping you stick to your other New Year’s resolutions!

Sleep and relaxation
We touched upon this a little earlier in this post, but looking after your mental health and wellbeing is a great way of making sure you stick to your goals this year. Stress is a big focus killer, which is why it’s ever so important to take time out of your day to relax and recuperate. If you’re feeling stressed, why not take some time out of your day to enjoy a relaxing pastime? Reading a book is a great way to get your mind to focus on something else and invoke a sense of calm - this applies to sleep as well! If you’re struggling with sleep quality, then reading a book before bed instead of browsing social media can go a long way towards calming your mind and helping you get to sleep more easily. You may find supplementation with targeted sleep and relaxation products helpful.

Natural remedies
In our day to day lives, there are a lot of stressors that make it difficult to stick to our goals and focus on the things we love. Natural remedies such as health supplements are a great way of helping with both physical and mental health, and are a great alternative to chemical remedies such as medication. If you’re particularly health conscious, then you may have heard of Ashwagandha – it’s a powerful medicinal herb renowned for its multiple health benefits and its great taken at the same time as a body detox with a product such as Touchstone's PBX Detox! Research into the health impact of Ashwagandha supports that it can reduce stress and help with maintaining healthy blood sugar levels, in addition to providing other mental and physical health benefits!
