This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at UWindsor chapter.

 

#1 Enough Sleep

Getting a good night sleep that lasts about 7-9 hours will have you feeling rejuvinated and ready to take on your day without crashing at noon. On, weekdays, try sleeping at 11:00pm and waking up around 7:00 or 8:00 AM. 

#2 Meal Prep

Meal prepping is a very efficient way to ensure that you are eating proper portions and healthy options for your 3 meals of the day. Doing so will also provide yourself with a quick way to eat a nutritious meal. All you need to do when you’re hungry is heat up one of the meals you prepared for the week. 

#3 Stay Hydrated 

Drinking water is so important for your health as it benefits your skin, hair, nails, many other aspects of aspects of your body- internally and externally. Staying hydrated throughout the day will ensure that you have enough energy to stay focused and feel balanced throughout your day.

Daily exercise is essential to staying healthy and improving your quality of life. Apart from the obvious benefit being weight control, daily exercise so much as walking or jogging can have many advantages such as: enhancing flexability, strengthening and toning muscles, relieving stress, and improving stamina.
