Ways to Start Mental & Physical Detox
In our fast-paced world, we can easily feel overwhelmed. Our minds are constantly processing what we think and feel, while our bodies are processing what we eat and drink. Here, I talk with one of the people I adore when it comes to fitness, Hannah Bacani, on how we can take care of physical and mental health, as these two noticeably affect each other and can manifest in every aspect of our lives.
6 Steps to Start Your Mental Detox
1) Live a healthy diet.
Hannah and Joyce talk about the role that a healthy diet can play in supporting our physical and mental well-being, and offer some tips for making positive changes to our eating habits. Eating a balanced diet that includes plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean protein can help to provide our bodies with the nutrients they need to function properly.
2) Learn to hydrate.
Staying hydrated is another key component of physical and mental health, and the episode offers some suggestions for how to make sure you're drinking enough water. Drinking plenty of water can help to flush out toxins, keep our skin looking healthy, and support our overall well-being.
