Our thirties are when we start to see the effects of the habits we started when we were younger. This can be a good thing or a bad thing, depending on whether those habits are along the lines of a daily jog or a daily carton of ice cream. Make sure you\u2019re doing all you can to stay well during this time of your life to keep your youthful vigor. Here are some tips to help.<\/p>\n

Stay Focused on Nutrition<\/b><\/p>\n

Focus on eating more vegetables and fewer fats and sweets, but don\u2019t overthink it. If you need support, the Trust offers programs for qualifying PPO participants that can help you learn mindful eating strategies and make better choices.<\/p>\n

Move More, Sit Less<\/b><\/p>\n

At least 30 minutes of physical activity every day is recommended. Being busy makes it hard. Try a walk during your lunch break or an after-dinner stroll in the neighborhood. It doesn\u2019t take much to get your body going, and small amounts of exercise add up.<\/p>\n

Take Time for Yourself<\/b><\/p>\n

Time doing what you love can be restorative. Schedule time to check in with friends and family, take up a new hobby or try a new online class. Whatever you do, make sure it\u2019s something that meets your needs.<\/p>\n

Unplug to Reduce Anxiety<\/b><\/p>\n

Turn off notifications or put the phone down when you can. If you can\u2019t completely disconnect from time to time, at least turn off your ringer and turn off any unnecessary apps and useless notifications. Being always available can contribute to anxiety and other mental health issues.<\/p>\n

Make Annual Checkups a Priority<\/b><\/p>\n

If you weren\u2019t already, now\u2019s the time to get serious about having an annual checkup with your primary care provider. Having someone who knows your medical history can help monitor your overall health, make recommendations that match your health goals, and catch any problems early.<\/p>\n

Have Necessary Screening Tests<\/b><\/p>\n

Work with your doctor to determine any risks you might face due to genetics or your own personal medical history. Then, have the screening tests you need on schedule.<\/p>\n

If You Haven\u2019t Yet\u2026<\/b><\/p>\n

Quit tobacco and any other harmful habits now \u2013 and the Trust has you covered. With tobacco cessation programs for PPO participants, you can take charge of your health and put nicotine in the past. Both programs are completely voluntary, confidential and fully paid for by the Trust.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
