With our recent entrance into the New Year, it’s time to get started on those resolutions. Moreover, there are none more important than those concerning your health.
Of course, dads, we are looking at you when it comes to this. There are no more excuses to put your health on the back burner. It’s time to roll up your sleeves and do something for yourself.
Let this article be your guide to getting healthier in 2019.
Stay Away from Junk Food
Yes we know, this is going to be quite a feat, but it’s one of the healthiest resolutions you can make in the new year. Not just for you but also your family.
The way you eat sets an example for your kids. However, if you want them to adopt healthy eating habits, it’s vital you show them how.
Start by preparing food at home. Make sure you include healthy ingredients rich in vitamins and minerals.
The first few weeks might be difficult because you will need to adjust to the daily timetable that will include cooking. Also, after a while, it will be the new normal, and you will be able to live a much healthier life.
There’s no point of discussing how unhealthy junk food is, the name says it all. Why would you introduce something so bad in your body and encourage your kids to do the same by your example?
Keep your Brain in Good Shape
With the stress of our daily obligations and responsibilities, we sometimes forget how much we need to keep our brain functioning properly. Somehow, it is one of the last things on our priority list until something goes wrong, or we start to feel the effects of getting older.
So, why not take some preemptive measures and start providing your brain with a boost it needs to stay healthy throughout your life. You can start with the little things, like doing crosswords and reading.
Then, introduce some supplements like Ginkgo Biloba that will have a positive effect on your memory. Finally, keep up to date with the latest brain research.
You can read medical journals from renowned specialists like Dr. Timothy Steel. This can help you make far more educated decisions regarding your health further along the way.
Don’t Skip on the Exercise
If you’re already making an effort to eat more healthy, why not go an extra mile and get some exercise done on a daily basis. Also, having kids is no excuse for letting yourself go.
You can include them in your daily routine and help them adopt positive habits from an early age. Introducing exercise into your daily routine will take time and determination.
So start with a few minutes each day, fifteen to twenty should be enough, just so you can get a nice routine going, and then increase it slowly. You’ll feel the change very quickly, from higher energy level to overall mental and physical wellness.
Both your mind and your body will be grateful for the time you’ve set aside for exercises. Not to mention you will maintain your agility levels and be in far better shape so you can keep up with your kids, especially if they are still little.
You now have all the necessary tools to make all important changes to start 2019 in a far healthier way. All that is left is your commitment to embark on a new, healthier path that will not only do you good but set a great example for your kids as well.
