Have a healthy diet with loads of fruits and vegetables. Exercise, especially outdoors. Any form of movement is going to be beneficial within the confines of what you can do and what you’re allowed to do. Manage stress. Avoid sugar. Reduce alcohol intake.

Try and incorporate vegetables in a smoothie. Exercise. Manage your stress by doing breathing exercises like box breathing, meditation, gardening, walking, low-intensity exercises, etc. Avoid sugar. Reduce your alcohol intake. Eat fermented foods. Get yourself a high-dose vitamin D spray or tablet. Leanne said: “Don’t start your day sleep-starved. It’s going to make things much more difficult for you, particularly in these very testing and tricky times.” “In these times, mental health is as important as physical health. You need to be keeping well and staying well mentally so you make good decisions and keep yourself chipper and mentally afloat during this time.” If you’re interested in finding out what your health IQ is, take the Health IQ test to find out, and get a free 39-page report built around our six signals, which are sleep, mental health, energy, body composition, digestion, and fitness.
