When it comes to living a healthy lifestyle, you can make many little decisions each day that lead to optimum health. From very early in the morning to late at night, women face many decisions that can impact their overall health, attitude, stress level, and general well-being. Here are some essential wellness tips that, when put in place daily, can have an amazingly positive impact on your health.
1. Fuel Your Fire
You have heard it repeatedly: you are what you eat. Thus, if you fuel your body with energy drinks, sugary candy bars, and greasy fried foods to try to get through each day, you will look and feel less than your best. For example, your skin might be prone to breakouts, you will feel weak and shaky most of the time, and your sleep patterns will be irregular.
For health, longevity, weight loss, and maintenance, you must instead fuel your body with the right foods. If you cut out processed junk from your diet, you can stop counting calories and still lose pounds or maintain a healthy weight. The key is to combine lean meats with fresh-cut veggies for each meal. And when it comes to snacks, how about a handful of raw almonds with an apple?
Start the day out right with a meal that sets your energy on the right track. If you’re short on time, try a nutritional drink like Morning Kick, which includes chlorella, collagen peptides, and ashwagandha. It’s yummy strawberry-lemonade flavored and can improve energy levels and balance mood for some people.
Fuel your fire with the right foods, which will keep burning strong. That’s one of the best daily wellness tips to remember!
2. More Daily Wellness Tips: Catch Some Zzz’s
Most women sleep an average of six hours per night. Sleep deprivation is one of the leading causes of illness and disease. Many studies show that not having a proper night’s sleep affects focus, productivity, efficiency, and happiness.
In reality, most women could benefit from sleeping at least seven to eight hours each night. If you are falling short or experiencing sleep disturbances, sleep support supplements may help you get a good night’s sleep each night so you can tackle each day feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.
3. Move Your Body
Finally, aim to incorporate at least 30 minutes of physical activity into the daily routine. Ideally, combine some form of cardiovascular activity with resistance training for maximum results.
For example, try a 20-minute walk with 10 minutes of wall sits, planks, and crunches. It’s one of the daily wellness tips to mention here because it works the entire body, helps build muscle, and prevents bone loss. Even short bursts of exercise can increase the feel-good hormone, serotonin, while decreasing the stress hormone, cortisol, in the body.
Daily Wellness Tips that Put YOU First
While the information above may seem repetitious, these daily wellness tips are solid. The problem is that few women put their health first. They are balancing careers, families, friends, and many other responsibilities. And the reality is that you cannot fully give to others without taking care of yourself first. So, make small, healthy changes that can, in turn, bring transformative results.

Christy, you are absolutely right. I’m surrounded by women, mostly mothers and they are stretching themselves thin. They give and give until they are depleted, but face lots of health issues in the process. And many of them, don’t allow their husbands to help with the load. I know I’m not a parent, and there is beauty in being a mom, but like you said how can they fully commit to others, when they are running on Empty. Self care is very important, I’d say extremely important. And as much as it pains me to offer advice and then get shutdown by it or I get “wait to have children, you’ll see what it’s like. You have no idea right now.” I just back off and just let it be. Great tips!
I suppose we all have to learn our breaking point or the moment when we’ve taken on too much… only by realizing we’ve overextended ourselves can we start to fuel back up our own tanks. Regarding your point about giving advice to moms, I think it’s hard to hear advice when we think we know best about what we’re doing ;) But if you did tell them your thoughts I would hope they would see that you meant well and were looking out for their best interests xo
I think sometimes we need to monitor our own stress. We all believe we have to be perfect at everything, go over the top. This is a misplace view for Christians as well. And if we’re honest we’re doing things that only God is capable of doing. We don’t know where we end and God begins.
That’s very profound. It could be a new blog post topic for you! Being perfect isn’t a reality but you’re right that many people try to attain it. Or we expect perfection from others. And that only leads to disapointments.
I agree, funny thing though I started working on it as a blog post. 🙂
Concise reading, very helpful!
Glad to hear it, my friend!
Thanks for these great tips, Christy. I long for eight hours of sleep – one day!
Hopefully one day soon, Robbie :)
Health is Wealth. I’m doing well with numbers 1 and 3.
Gradually, slowly my sleep has improved but I still battle with insomnia. Some of my insomnia is due to menopause. In the beginning the night sweats were really bad. Now that I’m in my 60s and semi retired I have been sleeping better.
Also before I retired I worked the night shift for two years. Working at night will throw off ones circadian rhythms. Glad that I’m back to working days and the best part is that I only work four or five hours a day.
Truthfully I’m still always doing my best to improve my eating habits. Incorporating more fruits and vegetables into my life.
I hear you about night shifts – I did those for a few years and it was tough on my body, not to mention my social life. As for what you say about improving your eating habits, we’re all a work in progress. Being kind to ourselves as we learn and change is so important :)
Good advice here Christy.
You’re so sweet!
great tips
Awe :D
