2020 and 2021 taught anyone who was paying attention that having metabolic health is important. If you took action, congratulations. What is next for you?
If you haven’t made purposeful changes to improve your metabolic health, today is a great day to start.
It is worth taking some time, as much as you need, to think about what you want this year to look like. What are you going to increase/decrease, start or stop?
Being mindful and purposeful makes a difference.
Write down your vision for what you will feel and look like 1.1.23 .
Help your body take care of you by drinking enough water; if you have a persistent cough, an accessible, economical treatment is being well hydrated.
Think of the cilia in your respiratory tract as hairs that protect your lungs. They work best when well hydrated- your body uses the water you drink to hydrate essential parts, including the cilia.
There are other things that can help, but reaching for water first, before things get severe can be a good idea.
Our bodies have great abilities to adapt to too much or too little water; because of this, we can be complacent and not notice when improving the quality or having a glass of water instead of a different beverage can improve how we feel. Filtered water in a glass or stainless water bottle is healthier than a plastic bottle.
If you are feeling hungry, listless or tired, have a big glass of water and notice if you feel better, there's a good chance it will help.
