Three Ways To Make Yourself Healthier
This post has been written in collaboration with Health Labs but all thoughts on ways to make yourself healthier are my own
The current climate is tough and health is at the forefront of a lot of people’s minds. I say this while I am barely doing 2,000 steps a day and not going outside for my daily exercise. And eating my weight in comfort food *oops.* This must change! I’ve been really bad when it comes to motivational to do exercise. But in actual fact this is the best time to start as habits take a month to form. And it looks like I’m not going anywhere for a while.
Get into the habit of doing your exercise classes
So many fitness instructors/ gyms are doing online classes via YouTube or Instagram Live. You’ve probably all seen Joe Wickes and his P.E classes which look intense. But this is a great time to try out some classes and see what you like. As you don’t need to walk into a gym and have the worry that people will be looking at you. You can do these classes from the comfort of your own home. So it’s much easier to try out all the ones you’ve been thinking of. Make yourself healthier by getting into good habits.
I need to practice what I preach and my plan is to try two different classes next week. If I hate them both or find they’re just not for me I’ve lost nothing. But I’ll never know if I don’t try.
Make yourself healthier: Get tested before changing your diet
If you’re thinking about majorly changing your diet then it’s worth getting tested to ensure your body is getting the nutrients you need. Whether you’re looking to change to a plant-based diet to make yourself healthier or for other reasons you can be tested. Companies like Health Labs have been offering customers in the US affordable lab testing online since 2015. When you take the test you can make sure your body is getting all the vitamins and minerals that it needs.

Drink more water
This is something I’m sure all of us can make a pledge to do more of. I’ve been in and out of habits when it comes to drinking water. Personally I find being at home harder as I’m surrounded by loads of other drinks. And if someone offered me water or a Pepsi max I know damn well which one I’ll take. But it’s important to make yourself healthier by drinking at least a few pints of water a day.
Our bodies are made of about 60% water. And the function of these bodily fluids are so important from digestion and circulation to transporting nutrients.
Have you formed any healthy habits during the pandemic?

These are great tips, I am finding I am drinking more water which is a good thing. I am up and down the stairs all day so get plenty of exercise doing that plus walking the dogs but do need to look at my diet
You see I’m the opposite at the moment, the temptation of all the fizzy drink in the house makes me drink them more, gotta get into your habits x
I could definitely do with drinking more water! I also need to get back into a fitness routine – it has totally fallen by the wayside thanks to lockdown.
Great tips. I’m running every other day and I try to drink 6 pints of water a day too…which means I’m on the loo a lot!! Good for me though
Im fortunate that im still able to get my steps in at work, however we are are getting the kids to still do there excersise. I actually enjoy drinking water and generally drink this most of the time….and coffee the other lol
Good advice here – thank you. I have yoga classes scheduled every week and week walk every day – it makes such a difference to my health and wellbeing.
Yoga classes sound like a good choice at the moment to relax our minds and bodies x
I do drink quite a bit of water daily and avoid fizzy drnks as a rule unless it’s fizzy water. Since lockdown I’ve fallenout of the habit of daily exercise. It’s had to fit everything in.
I do a lot of walking and running, so always making sure that I keep hydrated and fresh for sure x
I have been making a concerted effort to drink more water, but find it easier at work for some reason. I forget at home
I’m the same. At work I’ll get a big glass at the start of the day and I know I need to have that before lunch etc x
Since I’ve been at lockdown I’ve been trying to drink more water you don’t realise how important it is and how quickly you can get dehydrated.
Yes, I’ve found an exercise system I really like and I have been doing a workout most das for the last couple of weeks. I’m going to stick with it. Mich x
That’s so great, congrats on getting into a good routine x
I think we all get a little lazy when it comes to exercise in the home . There are so many free apps and you tube channels offering classes that it is not hard to do some exercise . I think I need motivation .
My family and I have fairly recently become vegetarian and are now trying to progress onto a vegan diet. We have done it more for ethical reasons though rather than health reasons however I always make sure we are getting what we need from our diets.
Good on you for making the transition to vegan x
I could definitely do with drinking more water, I am awful for making sure I drink enough! I definitely need to get back into exercise classes as well!
Those are some great tips and drinking enough water is an absolutely rule of mine. I gotta get rid of some bad habits as well.
I’ve gone down the route of making water my drink of choice, I never drink fizzy drinks any more and I feel much better for it.
