We’re rolling into the new year here at the FASTer Way and we know YOU have some big goals. Maximize your efforts by focusing on what matters most to your health and wellness—try our top 5 secrets for better health this year!
We know you’re ready to level up and make things happen, especially when it comes to your health and wellness. Your decision to live a healthy, fit lifestyle doesn’t simply affect you, but your children, your community, and even your greater purpose!
So, to help you kick things off right, we’re sharing our top 5 tips that you can establish through the month of January (or any time of year!) to set yourself up for success.
Top 5 Secrets for Better Health this year
1.Practice Intermittent Fasting
Intermittent fasting is one of the keys to set yourself up for greater health and wellness through the month and for the rest of your year (and life). It is essential to both fat loss and overall health, and when done for the right reasons at the right times, it may increase your energy, eliminate bloating, improve your immunity, and turn your body into a fat burner.
Pro Tip: Make sure you have guidance as you implement Intermittent Fasting so you can truly reap the benefits withOUT doing damage to your hormones!
2. Eat a Whole-Food Diet
Nutrition is the foundation of your health and wellness goals. If you’ve been a little too relaxed about what you eat, it’s time to get back on track! Eliminating gluten and dairy and sticking to a diet based on real, nutrient-dense foods will move you forward in your fat loss journey—while increasing your energy, and helping to prevent disease!
Pro Tip: If it has a mother or comes from the ground...it’s a whole food!
3. Drink Up!
Staying hydrated is critical to keeping your body functioning optimally. Most people simply aren’t drinking enough water every day. This can result in headaches, lethargy, poor sleep, muscle cramps, and more—symptoms that make day-to-day life more challenging!
Aim to drink at least half your body weight in ounces of water each day. If you can drink more than that, great!
Pro Tip: Keep a glass of water by your bed and drink it before your feet hit the floor each morning!
4. Consistent Movement
Whether you exercise for thirty minutes or for five minutes, it’s incredibly important to create a habit of consistent movement in your life. We recommend at least 5 days of movement per week. Decide what works for you and what you enjoy doing, then commit to doing it consistently!
Pro Tip: If you are a FASTer Way client, our daily live workouts are fantastic! Yoga, walking, hiking, or riding bikes with your family are also great ways to move your body. Make sure it’s something you enjoy and do it regularly!
5. Rest
The truth is you are stressed. We’re all stressed—unfortunately, it’s part of life!
Maybe you’re raising kids, volunteering, working full-time, caring for an aging parent, or dealing with a long-term illness. We ALL have something (usually more than one thing!) that causes some stress.
Learning to manage stress levels is crucial because if you are living with chronically elevated cortisol levels (that’s your stress hormone), it can have a major impact on your metabolism, immune system, and even digestion! Find a way to rest that lets your body and your mind take a break from the rigors of life.
Pro Tip: Schedule restful activities into your calendar (and be sure to take two days off from intense exercise each week—let your body restore itself)!
