Nowadays, our lives move at a very fast pace, and sadly, we don’t always get to pay attention to our health. While a lot of us would like to subscribe to diet plans or pay for gym memberships, these may not be viable options for everyone especially for those who wish to limit their spending now that we are in a pandemic.

Fortunately, with a little practical thinking, we can keep our health in tip-top shape without breaking the bank. Here are a few tips that you may want to consider:

Sleep early. It’s known that people need to have six to seven hours of sleep every night, but did you know that As such, we must try to sleep before 10PM for the good of our minds and bodies.

Eat well. With our fast-paced lifestyles, we often resort to eating whatever is available that can rapidly be consumed, so that we can go back to our tasks as quickly as possible. This leaves us with few choices, and often, fast food wins. We have to remember that having it for lunch everyday will not be good for us. A balanced meal that supplies us with the Three Gs (Go, Grow, Glow) is our best bet.

Always know your medical needs. Many people are not aware of medical conditions they may have, only to find out during an annual physical examination that they already have underlying illnesses and need to take medication. It is always a good idea for us to know our medical needs so that we are aware if we are prone to particular medical conditions like allergies, hypertension, or obesity. As a matter of fact, now that COVID-19 continues to threaten everyone, being aware of our medical needs may actually spell the difference between surviving or succumbing should we contract the virus.
