Things to Know
- One night of bad sleep can make it hard for your body to work properly. Not getting enough sleep on a regular basis makes you more likely to have heart problems, strokes, obesity, and diseases like diabetes.
- Processed foods taste good because they have too much sugar, fat, and salt in them. But these foods don't have a lot of nutrients.
- A lot of people change how they eat or exercise when they are very stressed. If this happens to you, keep in mind that taking care of yourself, like getting enough sleep and eating well, is most important when you're stressed.
- Keeping in touch with the people in your life can help you get better. You might not be the only one who has had good and bad times when you talk about them.
- Being outside can help with depression, anxiety, and stress. Some therapists even recommend ecotherapy, which means spending time outside.
