1. Don't forget about Breakfast

We know breakfast is essential for a healthy lifestyle yet many of us forgot to eat breakfast. We need fuel from breakfast to get through the day. Skipping breakfast can actually cause you to eat more because you are more hungry when the next meal comes around. Breakfast doesn't have to be a huge meal, it can be something simple like a smoothie or a bowl of oatmeal. Whatever it may be, it's important to starting your day off right.

2. Drink Water

Water is key to a healthy lifestyle. Water is more than just a referring beverage, it is crucial for our well-being. Water supports our digestive health. Water can also increase energy and boosts the immune system. If water isn't your thing, try to spice it up by adding fruits or veggies. Try a Cucumber Strawberry Lemon infused water.

3. Get a good night's sleep

Sleep is the time when your body is being repaired. Sleep deficiency can increase the risk of heart disease, kidney disease, high blood pressure, and more. Not only is sleep important for your physical body, it's important for your mental health.

4. Exercise

Physical activity and exercise can have immediate and long-term health benefits. Regular activity can improve your quality of life. If your are not the type of person who goes to the gym for hours, try other activities such as going on a walk or riding a bike. It's just important to get some type of physical activity.

Hopefully, these simple tips will put you on the path towards a healthier lifestyle.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.
