Celebrating
National Wellness Month!
August is National Wellness Month, a time to focus on self-care, healthy routines and stress management. At White House, our team encourages residents to take a holistic approach to wellness. While every day should be a wellness day, we could all use a reminder now and then to keep our health at the forefront.
Here are some simple self-care tips to help you stay healthy and relaxed:
- Drink lots of water, especially during the hot summer months.
The Mayo Clinic recommends women drink 2.7 liters of fluids and
men drink 3.7 liters of fluids per day. - Exercise regularly and take the time to stretch!
- Spend time outdoors, which can improve memory, fight depression and lower blood pressure, among other benefits.
- Focus on enjoying nutritious, healthy meals and reducing sugar, caffeine, sodium and excess fat from your diet.
- Meditate and practice deep breathing to help you relax.
- Focus on your sleep routine – getting enough sleep is crucial to your wellbeing.
