Get a good night’s sleep

We know that this can sometimes be easier said than done. We also know that we definitely feel better after a good night’s sleep and we know that it’s good for us, body and mind. 

In the first place, do ensure that you have got a comfortable bed and mattress. You might opt for a natural and organic mattress so that you know that all materials used are non-toxic and eco-friendly, as well as cozy. 

It’s then a good idea to switch off from any screens at least half an hour before you plan to go to sleep. Reading can help you to wind down and relax. You can then try sprinkling some lavender oil onto your pillow for a soothing scent as you drift off to sleep. 

Drink plenty of water

Did you know that drinking enough water each day can help with weight loss, reduce headaches and help to prevent hangovers? There are numerous benefits of drinking water as it will improve how your body functions on a daily basis.

If you are used to drinking soda or sweetened drinks, this one will need an adjustment period. Initially water might not be as palatable to you, so it might be worth infusing it with fruit or salad to give it more of a taste. You will find that over time, your palate will adjust to plain water, and you will probably find your old drinks too sugary and sweet for you. 

Keep a bottle or glass near to you throughout the day and refill it as soon as you drain it. When it is to hand, you are likely to find yourself reaching for it more regularly than having to go and pour a drink once you realize that you are actually thirsty. 

Give your immune system a boos
