You don’t have to make drastic changes to make your health a priority. Altering one small thing in your daily activities could lead to big time enhancements to your quality of life. Here are some great ideas from the IWS providers:
Diet
Keep in mind portion sizes when preparing a meal. For more information, visit ChooseMyPlate.gov to see the examples we share with families here in the clinic. – Nurse Ana
Dental
Floss your teeth more often. “According to Dr. Roizen’s book Real Age, flossing regularly can add an additional 6.4 years to your life!” -Dr. Hall
Medical
Take the stairs more often than you take the elevator. Getting more exercise should be at the top of all of our lists and this simple strategy is a great start. -Dr. Cieslak
Eyes
Take frequent breaks when reading or looking at the screen to give your eyes a break. -Dr. Weil
Self Care
Engage in some form of relaxation every day and to keep strong connections to people you love. Also, keep a gratitude journal to help you focus on the things that you are grateful for each night before bed. -Karen Godines, LCSW
