After the excesses of December, a moral hangover phase arrives where everyone promises to start a healthier life. If you are one of those who regrets their December decisions every time they try to put on their favorite jeans, we have great news for you: you don’t need to go on a diet.
Forget about restrictive lists and strict regimes. To transform your health and improve your overall well-being, you only need to follow these simple tips:
1. Breathe deeply: one of the great benefits of aerobic exercise is that it helps oxygenate all the cells in the body. But if you don’t have time to go for a run, try to do daily breathing exercise series. This, in addition to helping improve brain functions, can make you feel more relaxed.

2. Increase your fruit and vegetable intake: it doesn’t matter if you are vegan, vegetarian, or celiac. Eating fruits and vegetables provides a large number of nutrients and helps maintain a more balanced diet. Replace snacks with pieces of fruit to have more energy throughout the day.

3. Drink water: it may seem obvious, but staying hydrated is essential for the proper functioning of all systems. The issue with this is that often we don’t realize we haven’t drunk water until we are already dehydrated. Get used to drinking one or two glasses of water when you wake up.

4. Move: it’s not necessarily about spending hours in the gym or running 10k daily. Simple things like taking the stairs, taking breaks to stand up, and going for short walks can help improve your overall health. Remember, with every step you take, you are helping to reduce cellulite.

5. Detox: although the body is designed to get rid of what it doesn’t need naturally, every now and then it doesn’t hurt to help it with a detox plan. Generally, juices are very good for helping to cleanse our system from the inside.

6. Laugh: when you think about taking care of your health, the most recurring topics that come to mind are diet and exercise. However, to achieve a state of overall well-being, it’s important to care for and attend to the emotional part of our being. Laughing makes you feel better (and it also rejuvenates the skin).

7. Meditate: while it is true that there are many methods to meditate, in this case, we are not referring to a specific practice. It’s just necessary to take a few minutes to focus on your breathing and be aware of your body, posture, and sensations. Start the day with 5 minutes and see how it helps you.

8. Add fiber to your life: most women tend to suffer from constipation at some point in their lives, especially during pregnancy. Consuming daily doses of natural fiber, such as whole grains or vegetables, helps the body improve its digestive processes.

9. Drink tea: it goes without saying that sugary drinks are a real enemy of health. Get rid of unnecessary calories and gain great benefits by replacing sodas with tea. In addition to helping delay the aging process, tea is a great ally in combating stress.

10. Have a hobby: nowadays, we are always busy. Between work and home responsibilities, we have very little time to enjoy. To maintain balance, it’s necessary to find at least a few minutes each day to dedicate to an activity that you enjoy and that relaxes you: reading, knitting, painting, running; the point is to do something for pleasure.
