| 5 quick tips to a healthier 2014 |
| What’s your New Year’s resolution? Did you commit to eating healthier, working out more or reducing your stress? Below are some quick tips to becoming a healthier and happier you. Protective is also excited to announce we will introduce a new wellness portal next month to help you reach and manage your wellness goals! |
| 1) Get enough sleep. Studies show that adequate sleep can lead to improved memory, a better mood and a reduced risk for cardiovascular disease. Strive for 8 hours of sleep each night. |
| 2) Stay hydrated and stick to drinking water. Many drinks have hidden calories in sugar. Water should be your first choice. Water will also help you to lose weight as many times thirst is mistaken for hunger. |
| 3) Be active. Aerobic exercise is important for heart health and overall well-being. Strength training is also vital for well-being, especially for bone health. Our downloadable exercise cards have some ideas to help you get moving. |
| 4) Eat all the colors of the rainbow. Load up on fruits and veggies in order to maximize nutrients. |
| 5) Be aware of your family’s health history. A history of heart disease, diabetes or cancer puts you at an increased risk for developing these diseases. Let your health provider know your family history so they can do the appropriate tests to help you lead a healthy life. |
| Coming soon: New wellness portal to launch in February |
| Protective and Health Promotion Solutions have partnered to bring you an online wellness portal where you can easily track and manage your health goals. Some of the features of the site include a personalized Health Risk Assessment, a way to track your activity and nutrition, access to health coaches to help you reach your goals and personal rewards for working towards a healthier you! |
