Body Health

A glowing body comes from a combination of proper hydration, skincare, and muscle care.

Hydration for Your Body
Drink Water: Aim for 8 cups of water a day. Consider using a water bottle like Hydro Flask that helps remind you to stay hydrated.
Body Moisturizer
Body Butter: Rich in nutrients, body butters like The Body Shop Shea Body Butter or L’Occitane Almond Supple Skin Oil deeply hydrate and smooth the skin.
Exfoliate: Use a scrub like Tree Hut Sugar Scrub to exfoliate and remove dead skin, making your skin smooth and glowing.
Stretching and Massage
Stretch Regularly: Stretching helps prevent injury and improves flexibility.
Massage: Using a body roller or getting a massage can improve circulation and reduce muscle tension.
Start with a Balanced Routine
Strength Training: You can start building muscle with basic bodyweight exercises, such as squats, push-ups, lunges, and planks. These help build strength and improve endurance. Once you’re comfortable, you can gradually incorporate weights (e.g., dumbbells or barbells), but make sure you learn proper form first to avoid injury.
Key Exercises to Try
Squats: Great for building leg muscles (quads, hamstrings, glutes).
Push-ups: Excellent for building upper body strength (chest, shoulders, arms).
Planks: A solid core workout that targets abs, obliques, and back.
Lunges: These work the legs and glutes, helping with balance and stability.
Jumping Jacks/High Knees: Great for cardio and warming up.
Focus on Balanced Meals
Protein: Helps build and repair muscles. Include lean proteins like chicken, turkey, tofu, beans, eggs, and fish in your meals.
Carbohydrates: Provide energy for your workouts and everyday activities. Choose complex carbs such as whole grains (brown rice, quinoa, whole wheat bread), fruits, and vegetables, which also provide fiber and nutrients.
Healthy Fats: Healthy fats support hormone production and overall health. Include sources like avocados, nuts, seeds, olive oil, and fatty fish like salmon.
Vegetables and Fruits: Fill half your plate with vegetables and fruits for vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and fiber. This can support your immune system and overall well-being.
