Tips to Stay Healthy as a Busy Parent
1) Be Intentional:
The first step to being healthy as a busy parent is to make your health intentional. And it will only take you 2 minutes to do this!First, jot down what it means to you to be a “healthy parent”. This looks different to every parent!
Second, look at those things you just wrote and make a list of things you can do to make them possible!
Now, you’re not only saying you want to be healthy, but you’re taking actionable steps to make it a reality!

2) Make it Work for Your Schedule:
Take 5 minutes to look at your daily schedule and routines. Where can you realistically add sections throughout your day where you can focus on your health and self-care? Put it on the calendar and make it stick!
3) Say "YES!" to fitness:
One of the greatest things you can do for health is to keep your body moving! But the truth is, a lot of busy parents don’t have the time to even THINK about working out, let alone actually DO it.
But finding a couple of minutes in your day to focus on your body will not only keep you healthy but it helps you stay in shape and has the power to give you SO. MUCH. CONFIDENCE! It will also help you handle the kiddos more easily when they aren't acting "perfectly."
4) Create positive eating habits:
The next super important thing to do to stay healthy as a busy parent is to find a diet that works for you. I’m not talking about an actual “diet”, but an eating lifestyle that is compatible with your schedule and with your family. Don't skip breakfast. You're vigilant about making sure your kids get a healthy breakfast every morning, but what about you? Snack Smartly/healthy. Eat right. Don't buy foods you know you shouldn't be eating. This is YOU creating a “diet” that works for YOU! No more of the yoyo dieting or grabbing the chips and candy bar from the ballpark concession because you weren't prepared.
5) H2O=H2Glow - Stay hydrated:
Goodbye fatigue, hello water! I had absolutely no idea what I was missing out on until I started drinking the amount of water that my body actually NEEDED.
No one ever told me the miraculous benefits of water:
-gives you energy
-can regulate you
-has the ability to prevent headaches
-help flush out toxins
-can improve your complexion
-helps you LOSE weight! ( Ever heard of lipase? Look it up! )***
