As the daily routines and challenges pile up through the week, it is easy to place health and wellness on the back-burner. But what happens when your fuel eventually runs out? Your productivity and efficiency will decrease and you may need a longer time to bounce back.

Holistic health plays an important role in all that we do – and the key to a great physical and mental state is nutrition and a healthy lifestyle. Here are some key and important points that is essential to ensuring your overall health, naturally.

Build Your Plate Around Healthy Choices

A balanced diet will do wonders for your strength and mental focus. Make sure that you eat a good, full meal three times a day; one that includes plenty of vegetables and fruits. Whole grains, dairy, greens and proteins are the other 4 power boosters that should be constants in your diet.

Salmon, in particular, is a wise choice. Loaded with anti-inflammatory omega-3 fatty acids, this high-quality fish bursts with Vitamin D, Vitamin B-12 and iron.

There are a few other little culinary habits that would pay off as well, such as consuming foods made with extra virgin olive oil and limiting refined carbs.

Avoid processed foods. Although these are tempting choices, particularly when you’re in a rush, studies show that they contain unhealthy additives and contribute to heart diseases, obesity and other chronic conditions.

Stay Hydrated

Water plays an important role in regulating our body temperature, delivering nutrients to cells and ensuring that our organs are functioning properly. A well-hydrated individual would possess better cognitive-processing abilities and be in a better overall mood to take on the challenges of the day.

Research shows that the benefits of hydration can be doubled through wellness drinks or herbal infusions. Our Pure Ceylon Ginger Brew and Pure Turmeric Brew are said to be some of the best herbal teas for energy and focus. These brews may also reduce fatigue, rejuvenate your body and flush out harmful toxins, leaving you with a natural glow.

For those looking for quick, healthy solutions, Nature’s Rare Pure Ceylon Cinnamon, Turmeric and Ginger brews take five minutes to prepare and serves up a wealth of nutrition and wellness benefits in a cup. Drop in a few cubes of ice if you’re looking for something cooler, or add in a few drops of lemon juice or sweetener for extra flavor.

Focus On Yourself

While it is important to reach your goals, it’s also important to take a step back and pay attention to yourself. Here are 5 ways to improve your mental wellbeing:

01. Connect with other people
Whether it’s a family member, friend or co-worker, take 5 minutes out of your day to socialize and be present in relationships. This can help you build a sense of belonging, realize your self-worth, enable you to share positive experiences and provide and receive emotional support.
02. Work on your physical fitness
Engage in activities that would help you get fit in your free time. Go on regular swims, daily walks or cycle. Not only would this help raise your self-esteem, it would give you a sense of achievement and positively change your mood.
03. Learn new skills
You don’t need to sit at a desk at a specific time to learn and explore new things. Any skill can be achieved if you really put your mind to it. For example, learning to cook something new or taking on a new responsibility at work would help you boost self-confidence, build a sense of purpose and connect with others.
04. Give back to the community
There’s nothing that feels more rewarding than helping others in need or working towards improving your community. You could offer to help someone with a work project or volunteer work at a school or care home.
05. Practice mindfulness
Pay attention to the present moment. Focus on your thoughts, your feelings, your body and the world around you. This can help you enjoy life and understand yourself a little better. You may find our Pure Turmeric Brew to be a soothing solution that helps sharpen your focus.
