The term “self-care” is a huge trend these days, but what does it really mean to be healthy and take care of yourself? Although treating yourself luxuriously can be a form of “self-care” (an expensive one at that), that’s not all there is to it. Here are small, simple ways on how you can start living a healthy lifestyle:
Drink water regularly
You may have encountered this advice so many times before, but the importance of drinking enough water cannot be overstated. After all, it is essential for the body to function properly. Always bring a water bottle with you to stay hydrated throughout the day.
Add healthy food to your diet
No, you don’t have to stop eating that occasional sweet treat. Rather than trying to restrict yourself from certain food, incorporate greens and fruits into your diet instead. Like the saying goes, “an apple a day keeps the doctor away.” (Though undergoing regular examinations with a doctor is also key to staying healthy!)
Get proper sleep
A well-rested body is a clearer mind, and a clearer mind helps you be more efficient and effective in everything you do. It strengthens your immunity, reduces stress, and improves your mental faculties. Get at least around 7–9 hours of sleep everyday to feel refreshed when you wake up!
Wear a mask outdoors
Going outside from time to time will do wonders for your mental and physical health, but it’s also important to consider your safety while doing so. With the Jelli M1 mask, you’ll experience comfort and quality protection due to its adjustable straps, anti-fog technology, and 99.7% filtration efficiency. What’s more, its stylish design is perfect for matching with your day-to-day fits!
Limit screen time
In this day and age, gadgets have become a core part of daily life. However, it’s still important to let yourself take a break from time to time. Let your eyes rest and avoid addictive behavior such as doomscrolling that merely serves as a distraction. Engage in your hobbies, socialize with your friends, and spend time with nature—there’s a whole lot of fun outside technology!
Living a healthy lifestyle is not easy, especially at the start, but with small, daily changes, you’ll eventually get there. Bring a Jelli M1 mask with you in your journey as well. Stay strong and healthy, Jellifam!
