Drink more water - Drinking water is important for our joints and helps to transport nutrients for energy and health in our bodies.

 Make some time to get outside and exercise - Going outside and walking, running, biking, or even a hike has been noted to have a mental boost.

Healthy snacks - Eating healthy in between meals can be important. Choose snacks low in added sugar like homemade trail mix, popcorn, celery and carrot sticks, smoothies using fresh fruits and vegetables. 

Practice deep breathing or yoga - Our health is affected by stress. The next time you feel tense or stressed take a couple minutes and practice deep breathing. You will notice how much better you feel. Getting that extra oxygen into our bodies is important.

 Cut back on sugar - Sugar is everywhere, from the sweeteners we add to our morning coffees, to the hidden sugars added to dressings, juice, and pasta sauces. High consumptions of sugar are linked to diabetes and heart disease and can also cause you to feel tired or even grumpy.

Treat yourself or someone you love to a spa day - Whether it is at home or at an actual spa, it is the ultimate in self-care and relaxation. No need to spend massive amounts of money.

Slow down - Sometimes it feels like there isn't time to get everything done. We spend most days feeling like we are rushing about. Slow down! Take a simple stroll and notice the sights, smells and sounds around you. Slow walking is actually a way of meditating. 

Stretch - Starting the day with some good stretching is a way to rid your body of any lingering stress. It helps with our mobility as we age and keeps our muscles flexible and strong as well as protecting your joints and muscles from injury.
