The pandemic made us realize just how crucial health and wellness is. If there is one thing we now can’t ignore, it is the fact that staying healthy and fit can help with our sanity during these trying times. As the new season unfolds along with a new year, now is the perfect time to rethink your priorities and start embracing a healthier change. Here are three buzzing health and wellness trends that can help shape your 2021.
Backyard Beekeeping
Beekeeping offers numerous benefits. For one, this is a low maintenance way to help with bee conservation and enjoy a sense of social responsibility. Knowing you’re taking part in helping the environment thrive is enough to make you feel a sense of pride and accomplishment.
Hosting a hive is a great way to take care of your mental health. It keeps you busy and engaged; it exercises your mind and body and gives you more reasons to enjoy the outdoors. You can enjoy a sense of community by encouraging neighbors to host a hive or even build your own business out of the golden honey you can collect.
Opt for a new basic startup package instead of second-hand equipment. You don’t want to end up paying for second-hand hives that can harbor diseases and damage your bee’s lives. In case your bees have mite problems, you can choose a varroa treatment to address the issue asap.
Intuitive Eating
Most people choose a diet that will help them shed some weight. Others go for an intense cleanse. Focus on what matters more and investing in food items that help you achieve better health, mood, and energy levels.
Intuitive Eating teaches us to be more mindful of what we eat, how it affects our mood, how to trust our bodies, and how much to eat. This, in turn, helps lower our stress levels, improve mental clarity, and avoid feeling guilty.
According to a review, intuitive eating enables us to foster a healthier relationship with food. When we practice intuitive eating, we need to keep the following things in mind.
- Call a truce with food
- Honor your hunger
- Respect your body
- Trust and listen to your body more
- Honor your health with your food choices
- Focus on how it feels to keep yourself active
Booze Alternatives
According to reports, more people are indulging in alcoholic beverages mid-pandemic. This is even though most people know how excessive drinking can impact one’s health. If you’ve been reaching your hand to grab a drink or two each day, it is time that you start changing your habits for the better.
Instead of booze, try healthier beverage options. There are lots of fun and tasty booze alternatives that can help boost your health. Craft your own mocktails or choose non-alcoholic beers instead.
We often drink alcohol to ease boredom, take a break from our stressful life, or even because our peers force us to. If you are keen about quitting alcohol, find other activities that can help keep you engaged.
Find yourself an exercise buddy so you can finally enjoy your daily dose of workout. Satisfy cravings by whipping up healthy snacks. Get a massage if you need to; call a friend who can listen to your stressful day and avoid your peers who force you to drink.
Now is a good time to start prioritizing your health. This will help you feel better, maintain your sanity, and foster a great change to help you with other areas of your life. Find fun ways to boost your health and wellness. Reinvent yourself and embrace a healthier and happier you by indulging in a meaningful activity, mindful eating, and taking better care of your body.
