Self-care is not just for Sunday! - Health Heart and Home

Self-care has never been more important than now. In a normal day to day routine, self-care may have meant going to the gym, meeting friends for dinner, or spending the afternoon indulging in a spa treatment. During a pandemic, finding alternative ways to take care of yourself can seem daunting, especially when social distancing. Health Heart and Home offers several tips to keep up with self-care during trying times.

Exercise Outside. Get some fresh air, take a break from your screen, and get those endorphins flowing through your body! Even a brisk walk can help to clear your mind and relieve stress.

Do something creative and push the reset button.
Reach for the high protein snacks instead of mindless snacking. Protein helps you feel full longer and avoid the energy crash you might experience after a carb heavy snack. Try a Protein shake. Certain foods can actually have a stress lowering effect. Warm foods like soup or tea are soothing, and the omega-3 in fatty fish may improve mood, aswell as the added benefit of reducing inflammation.

Get some sleep. Stress causes us to lose sleep and when we are tired, nothing seems to function properly. Quality sleep is one of the most important self care prescriptions we can implement for ourselves. Studies show that limiting screen times two hours before bedtime can help you fall asleep easier. If you still struggle, try taking Chelated Cal Mag or Magnesium before bed to help relax the body. When calcium levels in the body are insufficient, muscle cramping can become frequent, causing a loss of sleep.
