In the hustle and bustle of everyday life, we often forget about ourselves, which affects our health and well-being. Physician Diana Khomin advises incorporating a few simple habits into your routine to feel better within just a few days.
1. Daily movement
- At least 6,000 steps a day, especially if you sit a lot.
- Take the stairs, walk outdoors.
2. Regular exercise
- Engage in activities you enjoy 2–3 times a week: swimming, tennis, dancing, strength training.
- Exercise improves concentration and keeps the body toned.
3. Healthy eating
- A balanced diet tailored to your body's needs.
- No need for extreme diets — consistency and variety are key.
4. Quality sleep
- Go to bed before midnight, rest for at least 7 hours.
- Ventilate the room and avoid gadgets an hour before sleep.
5. Moderate coffee consumption
- 3–4 times a week is enough to boost alertness and concentration.
- Caffeine stimulates dopamine and norepinephrine, helping to form a beneficial habit.
6. Annual check-up
- Regularly visit a gynecologist, ophthalmologist, and dentist.
- Get preventive vaccinations and medical examinations.
These habits help not only maintain health but also prevent burnout, making each day more productive and comfortable.
