With the hectic schedule that surrounds high school students, it can be difficult to keep yourself healthy and in shape. Take a look at these simple tips that can help you live a healthier life.
Drink Up
Make it a goal to drink water throughout the day. Water has a multitude of benefits including clearer skin, better thinking and less fatigue.
Go the Distance
Walking a little extra each day can make a surprisingly big difference in your daily fitness. Doing little things like taking the stairs instead of the elevator, or parking farther away from an entrance can easily increase your steps.
Give it a Rest
Sleep can benefit your body as well as your mind. Try powering off all electronics and putting them out of sight about an hour before you hit the hay.
Eat Your Veggies
Start by ditching one daily sugar-filled snack and eat something from nature instead. Fruits and vegetables will fill you up and provide nutrients your body needs.
Breathe it All In
Taking five minutes out of your day to de-stress and taking deep breaths can clear your mind and refocus your thoughts. Life can get busy and it can be relaxing to think about nothing for a small bit of your day.
Think Positively
Getting rid of negativity and thinking positive things can help your mind be “healthier.” Your mood directly correlates to your life and actions.
