Fitting Healthy Habits into your Day

Exercise frequently and vigorously. An active body keeps the brain active too. A study carried out at the Salk Institute indicated that adding more exercise to your routine such as a brisk daily walk can make learning easier, as well as improving your memory.

Fitting Healthy Habits in the Spaces Between Your Day

When it comes to grooming and health routines, last-minute schedule changes can unravel even the best planned tasks. Take it from an expert - New York City celebrity stylist Rebecca Weinberg - and find spaces throughout the day to incorporate important, healthy practices.

“I always tell my clients that rather than wait until the end of the day to take care of their skin, smile and body, they should fit certain important habits in the spaces between their activities,” says Weinberg, who won an Emmy for her work on Sex and the City.

Weinberg, who sees up to five clients a day, shares a few helpful tips she has learned from her work.

Healthy Smile = Beautiful Smile

Most people think of their oral care routine as a pre-bedtime at-home activity, but it doesn’t have to be: especially flossing, as it’s easy to carry in your purse or bag. New Glide Whitening Plus Scope Flavour floss is great because it can multi-task as well as you do, providing a burst of instant refreshment and preventing surface stains in between teeth. Do away with your gum and mints, and engage in something that’s actually healthy and will improve your gum health!

Exercise To-go - Take your exercise routine out of the gym.

People always feel guilty if they can’t make it to the gym on a busy day, but why not incorporate exercise into your everyday routine? Rather than taking the elevator to your office, use the stairs. Or when the weather is nice outside, get off the bus a few stops before your final destination and walk the rest of the way. It will help you unwind before you get home and keep your body in shape.

Refresh Your Style

The outfit that seemed fun and fresh when you left the house can feel boring by the end of the day when you’re getting ready to head out to after-work activities. Flashy accessories are the best way to refresh an outfit between a day at work and a night on the town. Throw on a gold chain necklace and a big cocktail ring and replace the bulky purse with a clutch.

Keep Your Energy Levels Up

We handle stress poorly and are more susceptible to illness when we fail to make good nutrition a priority. The key is to throw a low-fat, protein-packed snack - like a handful of almonds or a low-sugar energy or granola bar - into your work bag. By keeping healthy snacks within reach, you’ll be better prepared to handle the day by maintaining energy levels in the spaces between meals.

Just by fitting these simple practices into your schedule will allow you to take advantage of the spaces between and make the most of your day.
