All you need is love... and zero gym activation fees in February or March
Next time you hear Ed Sheeran sing, "I'm in love with your body", we want you to visualise yourself loving your body just the way you are. Here are a few amazing ways you can show your body all the love this February with Discovery Vitality.
If you want to love your body like a love song (baby!) - try these small steps to a happier, healthier, more positive you today:
Cover me in sunshine...
Give your body some early morning sun. According to the World Health Organization, 5 to 15 minutes of sunshine 2 to 3 times a week can increase your vitamin D levels and help you build strong bone health. Plus, a little bit of sunshine every day can boost your mood, improve sleep, strengthen your immune system and even promote weight loss!
Sleep, breathe, love...
Giving your body good quality sleep is so important for your overall health and wellbeing, but since COVID-19 researchers have seen a surge in sleeping disorders. If you're struggling to catch enough zees every night, show your body love with a yoga session or meditation to help you relax and feel less stressed.
Fuel your body with nutrition
Food is your body's fuel, its source of energy and a powerful way to keep yourself healthy and happy. Show your body lots of love by drinking plenty of water and taking small daily steps to eat well every day.
Find what feels good for your body
Regular exercise is one of the most powerful ways to reduce your risk of severe illness and keep depression at bay. And you don't even need a lot of it! You don't even need a lot of it! Recent Vitality research shows that adding an extra workout or 5,000 more steps one day a week, could reduce depression, particularly in women, by 19%
Join a positive community
Loving your body is a lot easier when you have positive role models in your life. For example, if you want to love your body through exercise, behavioural research shows that training with a group of people taps into our desire for approval and can motivate you to keep going.
