World Health Day 2021
World Health Day: April 7, 2021
Today let's shine a spotlight on improving our health and wellness. In celebration of World Health Day, what is one small action you can do today to take care of your health?
Eat mindfully. Engage your senses. Before you dig into a meal, admire the colors and textures of your food. Focus on chewing. Step away from your desk and eat at a table. Try our mindful eating exercise: a guided bite.
Choose fruits and vegetables. They contain vitamins, minerals, phytochemicals and fiber which support health. Add an additional fruit or vegetable to your meals today. Here are 10 ways to eat more plant foods like fruits and vegetables.
Set a SMART goal, which is specific, measurable, attainable, realistic and time-bound. Write down your goal and pick a future day to evaluate progress. Adjust the goal over time.
Move your body. Block off time on your calendar to do a brief walk outside or walk around inside during a call. Take a moment to stretch. Every minute of movement counts.
Drink more water. Set an hourly reminder to drink water. Add a lime squeeze or fruit slices to infuse more flavor. Take your water bottle with you everywhere you go.
