World Health Day: 5 Steps to Improve Your Health

World Health Day is a reminder to prioritize our well-being, but making small changes every day can have a big impact on our health. From simple dietary adjustments to mindful movement, there are plenty of ways to improve your health right now. In this feature, we’re sharing easy steps you can take today to feel better, boost your energy, and take charge of your health.


Drink More Water

Stop what you’re doing right now and pour yourself a glass of water (or, if you’re like me, refill that Stanley!). Drinking water is essential for overall health, and let’s be real—hitting your daily intake can be a challenge. But, keeping hydration at the forefront is a simple and powerful way to improve your well-being. Plus, your body will thank you for it! Drink up!


Get Enough Sleep

We often underestimate the power of a good night’s sleep, but trust me—your overall well-being relies on it. Quality sleep affects everything from mood to productivity, yet it’s something we rarely prioritize. I’ve found that incorporating a nightly routine helps me wind down and set myself up for a restful, rejuvenating sleep (this includes a shower, skincare, snack, and show). A little effort at night makes all the difference in how you feel the next day.


Move Your Body 

It’s time to start planning your next workout this World Health Day! I know how hard it can be to find the motivation to move when you’re already drained from a long day, but trust me, the benefits are totally worth it! Whether you’re tracking your steps, hitting the gym, or taking a fun class with friends, getting your body moving will pay off in so many ways. The energy boost and long-term health benefits make it all worth it! 


Practice mindfulness

Mindfulness is something I’m still working on myself! It’s tough to slow down amidst the hustle and bustle of daily life, but even just a few minutes in the morning or before bed can make a huge difference. Taking time to be present helps shift your perspective, calm your mind, and boost your mood—ultimately supporting your overall health this World Health Day!


Cut back on caffeine, alcohol, and/or sugar

This might be the hardest one, but it’s a total game-changer! Reducing any (or all) of these can have a huge positive impact on your mood and health in the long run. Whether it’s taking a break from alcohol, saying no to those extra sweet treats, or skipping that midday coffee, your body will thank you for it!
