When we think about looking after our body the first thing we think of is what we eat and trying to exercise more. There is so much more to looking after your body and simply watching what you eat and how much you move. Although they are important elements there are other things you need to be making sure that you do to keep your overall health well. So alongside eating right and exercising here are a few things you can do to help keep yourself healthy and happy.

One of the areas that we tend to forget about more is our feet. Our feet go through so much daily from walking in heels all day to working out, walking around and everything else we do. There are different ways that we can look after our feet and even specialists we can go to if we need a bit of help. Even simple things like keeping our toenails trimmed correctly. A lot of people don’t realise there is a right or wrong way on how to trim your toenails but normally find out the hard way. If you trim your toenails too short or down the side too much it can lead to ingrown toenails which sometimes can end up with you needing surgery if it is quite bad. Our feet also get dried and cracked and very sore. You can get foot masks, Home treatments or you can simply go to a specialist who can sort it all out for you and have your feet feeling brand-new.

I never part of the body that we need to make sure we are looking after on a daily basis is our teeth. We need to make sure that we are cleaning them, flossing and using mouthwash because it’s not just about cleaning our teeth but our overall mouth. The Best way to do this is by having the right equipment whether that’s a different type of toothbrush, different things to get the tiny bits of food and bits out from in between your teeth as well as even tongue scrapers to get rid of all the bacteria on your tongue. You can get dental supplies to help you with this. 

Another important part of our body that we need to look after is our brain. Mental health is so important. Mental health has certainly risen since the pandemic started and a lot of people are struggling when searching the help. The best thing that you can do is ask for help and research local support groups and even online support groups if you have specific mental health issues that you need to work on. Other things that you can try are meditation, yoga, finding an accountability partner who helps talk things through and get things off your chest as well as speaking to your doctor for further help. 

There is so much that we need to do to look after our body but taking it one step at a time and adding things into our daily life and creating new and healthy habits is the best way to start.
