🎉Hopefully everyone has had a wonderful Christmas and is looking forward to a 2026🥳 ! If you’re anything like us, your daily routine has gone by the wayside as you enjoy all of the holiday food and libations.
🎇Here are some easy tips to get you back on track.
😴💤🛌 REST - most of us need an average of 8 hours of sleep per night. If you’re a growing teenager, you need even more. This is when growth hormone is released to support maturation. If your active or an athlete, you need even more. This is when your body repairs and recovers. So put away your phone or other device, start wind7ng down 30 minutes before you want to fall asleep, and keep a routine of sleep and awake time for consistency.
🥗🥙EAT - no surprise here! Food fuels the body. And adequate protein, fat and carbs are where it’s at. So keep the refined sugar to a minimum. Stop eating 2-3 hours before bed so you can rest and digest. The holidays are over! Ha!
💪🏽 CREATINE AND COLLAGEN - Creatine is one of the most researched and effective supplements. Put a scoop or 2 in your water or try some gummies! Take daily, and/or take immediately following a workout to help with recovery and muscle building. BONUS, it has also been shown to elevate cognitive health. 🧠 Collagen supports your joints and tendons. Diagnosed with a tendon injury? Taking 15-20grams 30 minutes before a rehab session or workout has shown to improve healing and recovery! BONUS, helps skin too!
🐟 OMEGA 3s - Found in fatty fish, flax seed, chia seeds and walnuts, most of us don’t get enough to balance the omega 6s we ingest. Helps with inflammation. BONUS. Improves heart health!
💊 VITAMINS - Most of us are lacking something depending your diet. Take a multivitamin, or just vitamin D3. Almost all Americans need it.
💦 ELECTROLYTES- We lose electrolytes just breathing. Hot or sweating, and we need even more!
🚨 RED LIGHT THERAPY - Recharge your mitochondria! Heal faster!
