With the new direction of healthcare, many companies are taking a pro-active approach and giving their employees incentives to pursue a healthier lifestyle. Many of my friends have to complete daily wellness challenges or goals to show that they are taking responsibility for their health. I think it's a great way to encourage healthy lifestyle changes and ultimately help decrease the cost of healthcare both for companies and employees. My company is one that uses these daily challenges and I think that many of them are very beneficial. I've picked out a few of my favorites to share with you all today:
Posture Check: Check your posture at least 3 different times today. Try to focus on keeping your shoulders back and relaxed. Allow your head and neck to look forward and not tilted.
Grocery List: Research has shown that shopping with a grocery list can help decrease impulse buys and end up saving money. Next time you go shopping, use a list!
Snacking Smart: If you consume snacks throughout the day, look to make sure they have less than 15 grams of sugar. This will help prevent a crash from too much sugar intake.
Healthy Fats: Healthy fats are very important to the diet. They help to keep you full for longer and play an important role in the body. Make sure that you are including healthy sources of fat in your daily intake.
