Start School on the Right Foot
With the school year in full swing, it’s more important than ever to make sure that you and your children are staying active and healthy to start the year! Sitting at a desk all day and coming home and doing homework can seriously hinder your physical activity and keep you stagnant. LI Integrated encourages you to stay active and engaged this year with these easy and simple tips!
After school activities - joining an extracurricular activity can certainly make a difference in helping you stay active. Joining an intramural sports league or a school-affiliated club team will bring you the physical activity you need and can be a great way to make new friends and connections!
- Get involved at a gym - a great way to meet new people and stay in shape is to be a part of a fitness class or gym. Whether it’s an hour or just 20 minutes, exercise has been shown to improve physical health, overall mood, and chances of getting serious medical conditions in the future. If you find yourself injured at the gym, LI Integrated's chiropractic services can help you recover from any injury you have!
Don’t take shortcuts - think twice before you take an elevator or take a shortcut to get from one place to another. Take the stairs and make time in the morning or later in the day to get that extra exercise in. Even the smallest of changes can have a significant impact.
Proper diet - what you put in your body will certainly affect how you’re able to perform throughout the day. For example, instead of eating a bag of potato chips or a sleeve of cookies, perhaps an apple, banana, carrot sticks, or other healthy snacks can be an alternative. At LI Integrated, our nutritional counseling can offer you a diet plan to help balance out your eating habits.
The school year is an exciting time. Don’t let poor health and lack of physical activity let it drag you down! At LI Integrated, we’re professionals at making sure your health is a priority.
