There is so much emphasis on starting new habits with the new year, but there’s no need to wait until January. Try adding some “clean” habits to your daily life that could improve your health. It’s as easy as doing one or two things differently every day for self-care.
Healthy Habits You Can Start Today
Here are a few healthy habits I want to instate this spring that you can consider:
1. It’s not summer, but there’s still sun.
We often think of sunscreen on hot summer days before we hit the beach or pool, but we don’t consider it enough year-round. We sometimes shy away from applying sunscreen daily because it can take long to absorb, or leaves an unwanted residue. That’s why Coppertone has developed ClearlySheer Whipped and WaterBabies Whipped. Both absorb quickly, leave skin hydrated and provide SPF 50 protection from UVA/UVB rays so you and your family can stay protected all year round.
2. Take advantage of the outdoors.
As it gets nicer outside, it tends to become easier to keep (or restart) your New Year’s resolution to be more active. Working out does not always have to be in a gym or be strenuous activity. Walk around your neighbourhood, catch the blooming cherry blossoms or go on a hike. If you do strain your muscles, treat your pain with ALEVE Back & Body Pain. One pill gives you up to 12 hours of relief from muscle pain, body pain and headaches.
3. Take time to meditate.
This may sound daunting, but it only takes a few minutes a day to practice meditation and focus your mind. There are many kinds of meditation and apps you can use to get started. Meditation can help center you before the day begins, or after a long day.
4. Pay attention to your body.
Life is so hectic, and we often ignore obvious symptoms of our body telling us something is off. Many ailments can be treated early and at home so when your body is trying to tell you something, listen up! A common example for women is Bacterial Vaginosis (BV). BV affects so many women, but it’s easy to ignore symptoms like abnormal discharge or an unpleasant odour when life gets busy. CanesBalance is an easy and effective at-home treatment that can relieve unwanted symptoms and prevent future recurrences.
Spring has sprung, and I hope you’ll join me in adopting new healthy habits as the weather warms and days get longer. Tell me what habit you’d like to add to your routine.

These certainly are great tips,I need to add more exercise to my day!
You do have to be careful with the use of sunscreen. Use it too often and you tend to then suffer from a vitamin D deficiency, as has happened in Australia to many people. The fear of skin cancer there is very high and rightly so, however people have applied sunscreen every single time they have gone outside with the result that one in four Australian adults suffer from some form of Vitamin D deficiency.
Thanks for sharing Elizabeth,I have a Vitamin D deficiency and use sunscreen often thanks will now do some research on this !!
Thanks for the tips. Good nutrition and exercise are important to me.
When I read this the other day I thought I’m going to start a healthy habit of not eating potato chips,they are my favorite but very unhealthy!
That’s a great way to start, I love potato chips too, they can be so tempting
Was at a party last night and there were potato chips at every table and they certainly were tempting
Forming good habits is great for well being and overall lifestyle, thanks!
Eating healthy is a challenge but it can be done!
