As the New Year begins and we go back to work and school, it is important to set good routines at home. Routines help us manage our time, implement healthy choices, and keep on top of tasks. A routine may be repeated every day a few days a week, or perhaps just one day a week. From healthy eating to being active and exercising, to stress release and weekend fun, routines make a great addition to our lives. When it comes to good food and nutrition, setting good routines can be a helpful tool.
Some great examples include:
- Eating two pieces of fruit a day – one at work and one after work
- Drinking a cup of water as you get up for the day
- Having breakfast every morning to start your day right
- Meal prepping a few days in advance
- Sharing a meal with a friend/family at least one day a week
There is no doubt that starting a new routine can be challenging, but after you implement it once, trying again can be only become easier. Setting routines are a fantastic way to support your health and wellbeing. Let us know about your routines at home.
