As another year unfolds, people tend to list down things they want to achieve this 2020. One of the things people often include in their goal is to have a healthier and more fit physique.
But achieving this goal is almost impossible, especially if you will not choose to change your lifestyle. To give you ideas on how to start this year right, here are some of the top wellness trends you want to check and follow this 2020.
USE BLUE-LIGHT GLASSES
Because of the technology we have at present, through exposure to some certain lights and the usage of gadgets such as phones, desktops, and laptops, most people are now exposed to blue light, which can put our health at risk. Experts say, frequent exposure to light can negatively affect the eye's retinal cells, which could lead to macular degeneration, as reported by Prevent Blindness Organization. It is better to use blue-light filtering glasses to protect our eyes from this harmful light.
SUPPORT THE USE OF SUPER FLOURS INSTEAD OF THE REFINED WHITE FLOURS
Refined white flours can cause a lot of negative effects on the body. These include weight gain (obesity), an increase in blood sugar (diabetes), blockage in the arteries (cardiovascular disease), inflammation in the body, digestion problems, and even cancer. Given this reason, if you are decided to embrace a more fit body, it is better to use healthier alternatives for your baking instead. These include coconut flour, chickpea flour, brown rice flour, quinoa flour, and almond flour, as enumerated by SELF.
DITCH ALCOHOLIC DRINKS
Jamming with your closest friends and families over a bunch of beers is one of the most enjoyable things to do. But experts say, drinking non-alcoholic drinks instead is better. It can still allow you to enjoy the moment with your loved ones, without posing a lot of adverse effects on your body. These effects include shrinking brain, behavior changes, slurred speech, alcohol dependence, liver damage, heart damage, lung infections, cancer, pancreatitis, infertility, thinning bones, and numbness. To protect yourself from these adverse effects, better drink sparkling water, coffee, shakes, smoothies, and juices instead.
To improve oneself is the best thing to do this year. So, always have the motivation to love and care for yourself every time. Your body deserves to be healthy as well as you deserve to be happy. These wellness trends can already be your first step to achieve that.
