If you’ve never created a healthy routine, these 5 steps will help you build it from scratch.
It’s possible that you simply lost that healthy routine during a vacation period or due to a transitional stage in your life, a change of address, job, a relocation, etc.
Be that as it may, you still have time to recover it or create it from scratch.
Put these 5 steps into practice to return to your healthy routine, now is the time
5 steps to gain health and return to your healthy routine.
1. CLEAN YOUR PANTRY AND PLAN THE WEEKLY MENU.
Go into your kitchen and empty the pantry, take the opportunity to organize and clean it.
In this process, the important thing is that you know how to distinguish which products should disappear.
I’ll make it easy for you, everything that has a label that declares more than 5 or 6 ingredients.
In general, all ultra-processed products should be removed.
Avoid consuming free sugars, refined flours, starches, non-whole grains, sodas, energy drinks, juices and smoothies.
Eat whole fruit, whole and unsweetened dairy products, whole and unsweetened cereals.
Try to make most of the foods you consume in your diet reach your pantry in their natural state, just as they come from nature.
I suggest something, start by changing your breakfast.
A low-carbohydrate breakfast based on proteins, healthy fats and complex carbohydrates is very satiating, it will help you avoid anxiety and cravings, you will be able to last hours without eating.
Accompany it with tea or coffee and drink plenty of water.
2. GO BACK TO DRINKING 2 LITERS OF WATER A DAY, WRITE DOWN THE NUMBER OF GLASSES.
You should drink about 2 liters of water a day, approximately.
Have a bottle handy, if you use a reusable 1 liter bottle, fill it in the morning, drink it all and refill it at midday, to drink the other liter in the afternoon-evening.
The other option is to count glasses, start with 6 until you reach 8. Start early in the morning because the hours fly by.
Ideally, you should drink 1 or 2 glasses of water on an empty stomach, that way you will activate your body.
If you like to drink coffee or tea, it is better to wait a while to have the first one of the day, we wake up with high cortisol levels and it is ideal to let them go down before drinking drinks stimulants.
Drink enough water and eliminate sugar and refined flour from your diet, do it for your health.
3. ESTABLISH YOUR EXERCISE ROUTINE AND COMMIT TO DOING IT AT LEAST 3 TIMES A WEEK.
Exercising regularly will help you lose fat, but above all, it will make you feel much better.
What exercise do you do? Do you train at home? Do you go to the gym? Do you walk on a treadmill? Do you ride a bike? Do you walk outdoors? Whatever you do, make sure you plan it at the beginning of the week and do it at least 3-4 days a week.
Put your plan on a card or a large sheet of paper, make sure to hang it somewhere visible, mark each challenge achieved, seeing it graphically will increase your motivation and push you to keep going.
Another good idea is to get an activity bracelet to count your steps, activate Google Fit, do everything in your power to remind yourself to move daily.
4. GO TO BED EARLIER, WITHOUT EXCUSES. IF YOU HAVE TROUBLE SLEEPING, READ FOR A WHILE IN BED (A BOOK, NOT A SCREEN).
Bring your bedtime forward.
This is essential. If you improve the quality of your sleep and your hours of rest, your circadian rhythm will regulate itself and you will feel better and have more energy.
Nobody likes to look like a zombie and we all know that when we are like this we do not perform, any daily activity is much more difficult for us, it is obvious that it is difficult for us concentrate.
Also, if we don’t rest properly our mood declines and our mood worsens and irritability sets in.
A little tip, if you wake up very early, don’t get up until it’s your time, stay in bed with your eyes closed and try to clear your mind.
Take advantage of this unforeseen event to meditate, to relax, to not think, and when your alarm goes off you get up normally.
Rest is very important, it will help you feel better about yourself and with others.
5. SHARE YOUR GOALS WITH FRIENDS, FAMILY AND ON YOUR SOCIAL NETWORKS, TO ESTABLISH A COMMITMENT.
Share your desires for change with your circle, friends, family, to commit to fulfilling them.
This point is important because it is proven that if you share your goals with your circle, family and friends, the chances of fulfilling them increase a lot.
If you add your social networks to that, there are even more chances that you will get going. Nobody likes to be seen as a charlatan who does not keep their goals, right?
What positive consequences can these changes have on you in the short to medium term?
You will feel better, not only physically, but also mentally.
On a physical level, you will reduce inflammation, swelling, you will feel lighter and any task will be easier and less burdensome.
On the mental level, you will gain concentration power and will enjoy a better mood. All of this as a direct consequence of a proper sleep routine.
In addition, if you rest well, you have clearer ideas, and you will perform better in any activity you do.
You will probably notice that your clothes are not as tight as before, this will undoubtedly increase your self-esteem, you will feel more confident in yourself and others will notice it.
You may even notice your skin is more luminous, I’m not joking, this will be a direct consequence of better nutrition and hydration.
Sharing your achievements and efforts will make you feel happier and will also contribute to that improvement in self-esteem.
I don’t know if you knew it, but when you feel better others notice it and improve their attitude towards you. They will see in you a more attractive, more appealing person, who can bring them good things.
With these 5 steps, improve your health, increase your self-esteem and feel better, everyone will notice.
In short, with these 5 steps to gain health, you will get:
- Physical improvement
- Greater concentration, focused mind.
- Inner peace
- Increased self-esteem
- Positivity
- Greater external attractiveness
