As a new week kicks off, there are some things we can do to make it even better for our health and wellness. While there’s a lot going on in the world that’s beyond our control, there are some small steps we can take to see big improvements in our diets, sleep and the way we feel overall.

An easy way to get more fiber - Challenge yourself to eat fruits and veggies at every meal for a week. Research shows that consistently eating a few servings of fruits and vegetables a day is just as good for your health as walking 4-thousand extra steps.
And that fruit can help you stay hydrated - Sure, you can just drink water, but focusing on including more water-rich foods with electrolytes, like watermelon, bananas, and oranges, gives you the sodium, potassium and magnesium you need to absorb and retain the water you drink.
Try supersets at the gym - We know that strength training helps with maintaining bone and muscle mass, which is even more important as we get older, and supersets can help you spend less time working out. According to sports physiologist Mike Israetel, with supersets, you’re doing two exercises back-to-back, with no rest in between. They let you target different muscle groups, like doing a set of dumbbell shoulder presses, targeting the upper body, followed by something that focuses on the lower body, like goblet squats.
Make scrolling work for you - It’s easy to get sucked into doomscrolling, even though we know it can have a negative impact on stress levels and mental health, but it’s not realistic to think we won’t pick up our phones to do it. That’s why psychologist Lienna Wilson suggests scaling back by setting aside time to scroll quality content. She recommends giving yourself specific blocks of time to scroll, but avoiding things that may leave you enraged and not doing it too close to bedtime so it’s less likely to affect your sleep.
Slow aging with omega-3s - These fatty acids are loaded with anti-inflammatory properties and a recent study finds that people who took a one-gram supplement of omega-3s slowed their biological age by a month every year.
