Did you know that April 7th is World Health Day? In today’s Canyon Park Blog, we’ll be sharing some tips and ideas on how you can celebrate this holiday in and out of your apartment. Get healthy, enjoy fresher foods, and exercise for a better life. We hope you enjoy your month here in Puyallup, WA.
Don’t skip meals. Skipping meals can mess up your body’s regular eating rhythm. It also leaves you lethargic, causing you to grab something high in calories and sugars to energize you. It can also cause problems with your metabolism and mood.
Smile more. This is always a good tip that we don’t do enough of. Smiling helps you feel more confident and good about yourself. When you’re feeling that way you’ll take better care of yourself and live a healthier life.
Get outside more. Get outside of your workplace and apartment. Fresh air can do wonders for your health. It also encourages exercise, whether you’re going outside for a walk or you’re playing an outdoor game like frisbee or basketball.
Let yourself sleep. Oftentimes we don’t let ourselves get the sleep our bodies crave. Get to bed early and let yourself relax. Don’t feel bad about sleeping in every once in awhile as well. Your body will thank you.
Make a healthy meal. For a quick dinner with tasty veggies and moist chicken, try out this Asparagus Sweet Potato Chicken Skillet. This recipe comes from Primavera Kitchen. To make this dish you’ll need boneless chicken breasts, olive oil, salt and pepper, garlic cloves, a medium sweet potato, chicken broth or water, fresh asparagus, and crushed red pepper.
Drink more water. You may hear this tip all the time, but it can make a big difference. It’s recommended women drink 91 ounces of water a day and men drink 125 ounces. Start by purchasing a water bottle and bringing it with you wherever you go to make it more natural.
