How often are you walking?

Did you know a person walks 65,000 miles in their lifetime – that's equivalent to walking three times around the earth. Walking increases blood flow to the brain and improves your mood. Walking for 10 miles every week would eliminate 500 pounds of carbon dioxide emissions a year.

Let’s talk SLEEP 😴 Did you know a poor night’s sleep has been linked to obesity, heart disease, stroke, and diabetes?! This is because when we are tired we are more likely to consume more calories and less likely to exercise.

So how do we get better sleep?

⭐️ Try and be consistent with your bed time and wake up time.
⭐️ 30-60 minutes of physical activity once a day can help with improved sleep patterns
⭐️ Eat fewer calories for dinner to allow quicker digestion
⭐️Swap TV and phone screens for a book or magazine to help with the wind down process.
⭐️ And don’t forget to breathe! Deep even breaths in and out your nose can help with settling into a good nights rest.
