🚭 Consuming alcohol can increase your risk of heart disease, stroke and several types of cancer. Health Canada recommended Canadian's consume a maximum of 2 standard drinks per week.
🚭 Smoking is a major risk factor for developing many health conditions including heart disease, lung disease, cancer and many more. Quitting smoking is one of the most important things you can do to improve the length and quality of your life!
🚰 Staying hydrated by drinking water (tea counts too!) every day is critical for good kidney function and digestion. Water intake and hydration also supports the skin, joints, muscles and basically every cell in your body! The umbrella recommendation is six to eight glasses per day, but some may need more or less depending on their specific climate, exercise patterns, etc.
🙏 Managing stress will help reduce your risk of heart disease and high blood pressure, obesity and depression. It will also help you sleep better and improve your mental health and wellbeing!
💪Getting regular physical activity can help you sleep better, maintain a healthy weight and reduce your risk of developing diabetes, heart disease and many other health conditions. Canada's Physical Activity Guidelines recommend 150 minutes of moderate to vigorous exercise weekly, which you can break down to just 30-minute workouts 5 days a week!
💤 Getting enough sleep is essential in preventing many health disorders as poor sleep has been linked to weight gain, heart disease, stroke and depression.
It's always a good time to quit smoking! #quitsmokingnow
