10 disasters to avoid for good health: 1. Sleeping for less than 6 hours. 2. Overworking almost every day. 3. Walking less than 2000 steps a day. 4. Eating your dinner after 9 PM most days. 5. Sitting for more than 2 hours without a break. 6. Drinking out of plastic water bottles regularly. 7. Starting and ending your day with screen time. 8. Not drinking at least 3 litres of water every day. 9. Dining out or eating junk more than 2 times/week. 10. Having sugary drinks/soda more than twice a week. 11. Drinking more than 3 cups of chai/coffee in one day. 12. Screen time of 7+ hours every day, even on weekends. The worst part is that most of these habits are normalised, so we don’t think they’re unhealthy for us. But they add up over time, causing serious problems hence be more aware and conscious #healthandwellness #workplacehealth #healthyhabits

Oops, I ate it again! 🫢😬🫠 Living in a city where every corner feels like “Temptation Island” for chicken nuggets, fries, and bobba tea 🧋is no joke. Fast food chains are everywhere, each one offering its most accessible and affordable meals. 😫 You can almost taste the burgers and fried chicken just from the distinct smell of used oil as you pass by! It’s crazy how we live in an era of fast food, fast life. But last year, I decided to focus on my health—to change my diet and become more physically active to reset my gut health. Changes were drastic: my acne vanished, hair fall reduced, and I’m no longer the sickly Kate I used to be. I feel more energized, and it’s like my brain has been upgraded to a premium subscription. 🤓 My journey to a better me is ongoing, and it’s a never-ending one. I may slip up occasionally and give in to cravings, but at least I’ve started the journey, and I know I’ll keep fighting the urge. It’s not easy, but it’s a fight my future self will thank me for. Remember, value progression, not perfection. How about you?

Still Feeling Groggy Mid-Morning? You may be dehydrated. Before grabbing that afternoon coffee, have a tall glass of water and see if that helps with the fatigue. If you struggle to drink water, mix it up and add fresh sliced strawberries, cut up cucumbers or celery to the water for a natural delicious flavor. Drinking enough water is crucial for maintaining good health. Staying hydrated can also improve your mood and energy levels, making you more productive throughout the day. It is recommended that adults drink at least 8 glasses of water a day, but this may vary depending on individual needs. Remember, staying hydrated is key to maintaining good overall health. So, make sure to drink more water and reap all of its amazing benefits! #askcoachsonia

Ever feel uncomfortable saying “no thanks” when someone offers you food? ⬇️ Even if you’re working on building healthier habits, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with eating festive food… But if you’ve ever felt pressured to ignore your body’s cues to spare someone’s feelings, this is for you! Maybe you know a certain food doesn’t agree with you… Or that eating a handful of holiday cookies today will give you a “sugar hangover” tomorrow… Keep these 4 phrases (in image) in your back pocket to help you gently set those boundaries. Yes, you may still get pushback! But it’s okay to prioritize your health and stand firm in your choices — even if it’s hard. You deserve to feel good!

Water is the most heart-healthy drink, but there are other drinks that you can enjoy in moderation. Key takeaways 3 min read Water is the drink of choice for heart health. If you’re thirsty, drink water. When the weather is warm or we’re exercising, our bodies need more water than usual.  Unflavoured milk, tea and coffee can be enjoyed in moderation. Try to limit sugary drinks such as soft drink, cordial, fruit drinks, sports drinks and energy drinks. The less alcohol you drink the lower your risk of harm from alcohol. Healthy men and women should drink no more than 10 standard drinks per week and no more than four standard drinks on any one day. For some people, not drinking alcohol at all is the safest option. https://lnkd.in/g4BVdU5e

Everyone has their own #healthhack. #Thisweek, here's mine. Let me begin with one that should comfort most people who find it hard to abstain from unhealthy stuff. 1. I do have two cheat meals a week. Typically a Friday night/Sat lunch or a Sat lunch/Sat evening combination. 2. Sat nights and Sundays, I like to not indulge in any sugar, fried/packed food or alcohol. This helps me begin Mondays knowing that I have already begun my week on a healthy note. By the time I end Monday, I am on a streak of 2 days of abstinence. 3. Rest of the week, I stay off alcohol, sugar (not even biscuits, tea, bread; fruits are an exception) and packed and fried food. 4. Night cravings for dessert? Typically a protein bar or some cheese that's handy in the fridge 5. Do I slip every now and then? Yes, work or social engagements will make me go for that odd tipple. But largely, when I stay clean 19 out of the 21 meals I have during the week, I trust my process of 90% of what I am doing to overpower the 10% of indulgences. Settling at this rubric took me years to be honest because taking care of your health is hard. But eventually, this is where I found maximum probability for staying consistent for most of 2023 and 2024. Anything that's worked for you in particular this year? Would love to know. #health #healthyageing
