Make time for your friends and family:
Spending time with your friends and family may not seem like a top wellness tip but it is vital. Humans are social beings and rely on other humans to maintain their mental, emotional and physical help. Setting time aside to spend with your loved ones can help relieve stress, increase self-esteem and lead you to make more positive choices.

Take your vitamins.
Multivitamins contain vitamins and minerals that are essential to your health. No matter how healthy you eat or what diet you follow, it can be difficult for your body to get all of the nutrients it needs from food. Research your options and find a multivitamin that fits your needs and supports your health.

High levels of non-HDL, or “bad,” cholesterol
can lead to heart disease. Your health care
professional can consider non-HDL cholesterol
as the preferred number to monitor, rather
than total cholesterol, because it can be
measured without fasting beforehand and
is reliably calculated among all people.

Keeping your blood pressure within acceptable
ranges can keep you healthier longer. Levels
less than 120/80 mm Hg are optimal. High blood
pressure is defined as 130-139 mm Hg systolic
pressure (the top number in a reading) or 80-89
mm Hg diastolic pressure (bottom number).

Most of the food we eat is turned into glucose
(or blood sugar) that our bodies use as energy.
Over time, high levels of blood sugar can
damage your heart, kidneys, eyes and nerves.
As part of testing, monitoring hemoglobin A1c
can better reflect long-term control in people
with diabetes or prediabetes.

STRESS LESS HEALTHY HABITS:
1. Slow down.
Plan ahead and allow enough time to get the most
important things done without having to rush.
2. Sleep well.
Try to get seven to nine hours of sleep each night. To
fight insomnia, get regular physical and activity during
the day.
3. Let worry go.
The world won’t end if a few things fall off your plate.
Give yourself a break and just breathe.
4. Laugh it up.
Laughter makes us feel good. Don’t be afraid to laugh
out loud, even when you’re alone.
5. Get connected.
A daily dose of friendship is great medicine. Make time
to call friends or family so you can catch up.
6. Get organized.
Use “to do” lists to help you focus on your most important
tasks and take big projects one step at a time.

Volunteer your time or spend time helping a friend.

Keep company with good people.
Maximize the amount of time that you spend with people you enjoy being around. Connecting with others who radiate positivity and have similar interests will excite and energize you.
On the other side, people you don't relate to or who have negative outlooks, complain often, or make poor choices will only drain your energy account. Be selective about the company you keep.
It's important to set limits and boundaries to protect yourself and conserve your energy when around people who do not refill your energy reserves.

Sleep seven to eight hours per night.
Prioritizing sleep is one of the best things you can do to set yourself up for a successful, energized day. Sleep deprivation can perpetuate serious health conditions, as well as negatively affect your mood, motivation and energy levels. Getting quality sleep is a healthy habit many people need to improve. Most adults need at least seven to eight hours of shut-eye each night, so what prevents them from getting it?
Observe your sleep patterns if you struggle with sleep. Take note of how much you sleep each night, factors that contribute to your sleep or lack of it, how rested you feel, and how much energy you have during your day. Then try sleep strategies to improve your sleep, like creating a relaxing and restful environment, minimizing light and noise, establishing a bedtime routine, managing stress, and turning off electronic devices.
Whatever you decide to start with, be consistent. Utilizing the same sleep routine and sleep strategies will help develop your body's internal alarm clock and can lead to improved sleep quality. With improved sleep quality, people experience better health, and improved emotional well-being, lower risk of diseases, and are more productive.

Eat nourishing food.
A well-balanced, healthy diet is at the core of well-being. But it's common to regard healthy eating primarily as a tool for weight loss. According to the 2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, a balanced diet high in fruits and vegetables, lean protein, low-fat dairy and whole grains is needed for optimal energy. You really are what you eat.
Consume a variety of foods from all the food groups to get a range of nutrients to provide energy throughout the day. Opt for fresh or frozen fruits and vegetables, especially nutrient-dense dark, leafy greens and broccoli, as well as orange vegetables, like carrots and sweet potatoes. You can choose from many types of fish and legumes to choose from for healthy protein options. Aim to eat 3 ounces of whole-grain cereals, breads, rice or pasta daily.

What is energy management?
Think of your energy as a limited resource, like money in an account. You begin the day with a certain amount to spend. The amount varies from person to person based on factors, such as age, sleep, stress levels, medical conditions and lifestyle.
Activities and interactions withdraw energy from or deposit energy into your account. While you may not always have control over activities that deplete your energy, you can take steps to deposit more energy into your account.
