Top Ways to Improve Your Health this Summer
Time for some spring cleaning for you and your cells! Whether you're looking to gain more energy, improve your mental clarity, or just generally feel better, improving your health should be a priority with whatever goals you have. Fortunately, it’s easy to get going with some small daily tweaks to improve your health!
1. Get Those 8 Hours of Zzz’s
The quality of your sleep can massively affect your quality of life, so it's essential to ensure that you're making proper “sleep hygiene” a priority. What is sleep hygiene? According to the CDC, it’s just a fancy term for good sleep habits to help you fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer. Try these simple steps to incorporate sleep hygiene best practices (no need for deodorant in bed, unless that’s your thing 🤷🏻♂️) :
- Limit screens before bed 📱
- Sleep in a dark, cool environment 🌑
- Establish a consistent sleep and wake schedule 🕝
- Avoid caffeine and alcohol in the hours before bedtime ☕
2. Eat Like a Centenarian
The famous Blue Zones throughout the world are home to the largest concentrations of centenarians (folks living 100+ years) on earth. While the Blue Zones are varied and span from Italy to Japan there are a few key similarities in their diets we can all learn from to maximize our longevity potential:
- Eat a mostly plant based diet with only small amounts of animal protein or dairy 🌱
- Incorporate nuts, seeds, and legumes into your daily diet 🥜🫘🌰
- Focus on fresh whole foods that have been minimally processed to maximize your intake of healthy bioactives and polyphenols 🥗
- Eat fermented foods rich in probiotics to help promote your gut health (this can include wine in moderation, just sayin 🍷)
- Avoid food with lots of added sugar and try to limit total sugar intake to ~7 teaspoons a day. 🍬
3. Send Your Screens On Vacation
We live in a world that is constantly connected, and it can be hard to unplug from the constant buzzing and notifications throughout the day. Taking regular breaks from technology is important for your mental health, reducing stress and anxiety, preventing eye fatigue, and so much more.
This is your sign to plan a digital detox! 🛑
You can start simply by keeping off your screens a couple hours a day before bed and then work your way up to a full day of IRL time out in nature. Trust us, that Twitter war will still be there when you get back.
4. Increase Your Daily Hydration
We have 37 trillion cells in each is made up of up to 70% water, so it’s important to stay hydrated throughout the day!
Not all hydration is made equal, so while you’re aiming for ~3 liters for women and ~4 liters for men per day, avoid sugary or enhanced “hydration” drinks. Staying hydrated can help reduce body fatigue and increase energy levels.
5. Daily Cell Care with Mimio
Most self-care revolves around taking care of your physical, mental, and emotional health, and those are all important. But when was the last time you took care of your cells? 🤔
Mimio is designed to help support and protect the smallest parts of you for some pretty big impacts. Whether it’s our mood, our energy levels, our metabolism, or even how quickly we age, our cellular health is responsible for almost every aspect of our whole body health. When we’re young, our cells are naturally good at maintaining their health and protecting themselves from harm, but as we get older their regenerative abilities become less active and damage can build up overtime. Those fine lines, fatigue, brain fog, and slowed metabolism are your cells calling for help!
Mimio’s biomimetic formulation was developed from human biology to reactivate your cells’ natural regenerative functions – helping return them to a more youthful state.
Improving your health doesn't have to be hard.
Taking small steps like optimizing your sleep hygiene, eating whole plant-based foods, taking regular digital detoxes, staying hydrated, and taking Mimio supplements, can all lead to an improved healthspan! When you take care of your health, it’s not just about living longer but about being healthier longer so you can enjoy more moments that matter. ❤️
