Caption: Four ways to promote wellness in the colder months. Rachael Sacerdoti, personal trainer, wellness expert and creator of It's So Simple, has shared four tips to help you achieve a healthier lifestyle. Firstly, she asserted that movement is so important to keep your body and your mind healthy. ”Exercise 'snacks' throughout the day are brilliant if you haven't the time for long sessions, as movement of any kind works wonders for your mind, body, and soul,” According to the expert, a high amount of sugar in our diets can have negative impacts on our bodies, such as high blood pressure and weight gain. With the body holding on to unused calories and sugars for longer as we age it is vital to reduce our intake. ”Bringing with it a ripple effect on the entire body, not least making it easier for us to gain weight, sugar also disrupts one of the most powerful hormones: insulin.” In addition, it is important to be aware of your emotions and to know how to deal with them. Journalling and keeping track of your time (especially the first 28 days) is brilliant particularly if you are brutally honest with yourself. ”You'll be amazed how emotions, food, and exercise are all interlinked and by having everything written down, you can easily spot internal and external triggers. Meditation and self-reflection are also important, along with taking regular digital sabbaths.” Starting a new habit is one thing, but sticking to it is a whole other matter “Finding a friend who will keep you accountable can be an effective way to help you create a lasting habit.” "It makes the entire experience more social, you can share your accomplishments and goals, cheer each other on, and lean on each other for support.” THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
