Uncovered – 5 Easy Ways For Busy Professionals To Get And Stay Healthy

Listen to this article

It’s a good thing that getting healthier doesn’t necessarily mean that you need to completely overhaul your day-to-day life. Who has time for that? There are times when just a few quick tweaks can make a world of difference. From getting your nutrient supplements into turning down the volume, these quick and simple tweaks in your health regimen will make a massive difference to how you actually feel, both in and out of the office.

Get Those Nutrients

Not all of us have power lunches on a daily basis, and when we do, getting our nutrients in probably isn’t the first thing on our minds. That’s where things like omega 3 vitamins can come in handy. They give you an ideal dose of the nutrients you need all in a single convenient package.

Yes, whole foods might be the preferred way to get those nutritional needs met, but it isn’t just busy professionals who struggle to get all the nutrients they need from those foods. Get what you need with supplements and get on with your day.

Sleep

Yes, it can be difficult to turn that working mind off, but it’s necessary for your health. It starts with a good mattress.

However, sometimes our nerves keep us up at night or our brains won’t shut down. When that happens, try to think of the challenges facing you on the next day. Take deep breaths and concentrate on your breathing. It takes both patience and practice, but if you do it on a regular basis, your body will learn to relax.

Fitness Trackers

Surely, you’ve noticed people around the office wearing fitness trackers on their wrists. They look like ordinary watches but are so much more. Some of them will track things like your REM sleep and blood pressure, some are waterproof, and some just track your steps. Either way, people who wear these devices tend to be more active than those who don’t wear them.

Volume

These days, busy professionals can escape into music anytime and anywhere they like. Loud noises can be detrimental to your health. Look at MP3 players, like the ones on our phones for example. They’re capable of producing as much as 120 decibels of sound. That’s loud enough for them to lead to a loss of hearing over time.

Keep to the 60/60 logic. Make sure that the volume coming through your earphones is no more than 60% of the maximum volume and for no longer than 60 minutes each day.

Fly Right

Many of us aren’t flying too much right now, but this won’t always be the case. When you have to fly, be it for business or pleasure, be sure that you turn on that air vent that’s right above the seat. It’s important to be aware that planes are full of germs, even when there isn’t a pandemic. If you turn on that little air vent and make sure that the angle is set to where it blows down right in the front of your face, you’ll be getting air that’s filtered and it can sort of create a makeshift barrier that will keep a lot of the germs circulating throughout the cabin from entering your mouth and nose.

No matter how busy you might be, there are still things you can do in order to get healthier and stay that way. It’s important that you start soon so you can live a long and happy life. Just remember, you have to enjoy what you’re doing, otherwise you won’t stick to it. So, just be sure to have fun with your fitness.
