Daily Tips for a Healthy Routine
MORNING
- Take a few minutes to stretch when you wake up. Not only is stretching a relaxing start to your day, it also increases overall physical fitness and reduces muscle soreness and tension.
- While you brush your teeth, do some simple exercises to help pass the time and slip a workout into your morning routine. You should brush for two minutes—perfect for a quick set of leg lifts or squats.
- On your way to work? Try slipping some extra steps into your commute. Check out a new coffee shop that’s a little out of the way or take the stairs instead of the elevator.
EVENING
- At dinnertime, opt for lean proteins like poultry, fish, or lean beef paired with a large portion of fiber-rich veggies. Bonus? They’re also a good source of calcium and vitamins to help keep your enamel as strong as your body.
- After a long day, it may be tempting to wind down by catching up on your favorite TV shows. The good news is, you can work out at the same time. Moves like sit-ups and planks are viewing friendly.
- Try yoga or meditation exercises after your nightly oral care routine to help improve your sleep. Sleep is important for physical health, from maintaining a healthy weight to decreasing the risk of diseases and strokes.
