So, as crazy as it sounds by simply making your bed every morning, you can better start your day ahead, plus it’s so easy, it’s almost one thing ticked off your list already!
2.DRINK MORE WATER
You may hear that drinking plenty of water not only helps your skin, keeps you hydrated but it also the most recommended element used when it comes to a healthy lifestyle.
This one is also easy, but can definitely be forgotten, why not start keeping a bottle in your bag or have one at your desk at work?
Why not also go that extra mile and get an eco alternative and purchase a water bottle that keeps your drink warm and cold, whilst reducing plastic waste.
3.COOK AT HOME
Home meals can be somewhat difficult for those who are constantly on the go or get home late in the evening, so it’s sometimes just easier to get a quick takeaway.
However, research has found that those who cook at home consume fewer calories, carbs, fats, and sugars that those who eat out, which makes cooking your meals healthier, on average, than eating out.
This makes a great deal of sense because you’re in control of the ingredients when you cook at home!
4.REMEMBER, REST IS KEY
