8 Tips for Spring Cleaning Your Health
Spring cleaning traditionally refers to a deep and thorough house cleaning, but what about spring cleaning your health? It can be just as important – if not more so – than washing windows and cleaning out the garage. Here are 8 tips for spring cleaning your health to help you look, live and feel #BetterEveryDay.
Organize your pantry. Take stock of your cupboards and get rid of foods that might hinder your health goals. Throw out store-bought cookies, sugared cereals or anything with lots of sodium. Then restock with healthy staples like whole grain pasta, olive oil, quinoa, nuts, oats, lentils and brown rice.
Plant spring flowers or a veggie garden. Go outside and get in touch with nature by planting some spring flowers or starting a vegetable garden.
Shop seasonal produce. Springtime means the arrival of tons of fresh fruits and vegetables. Fill your fridge with seasonal produce like strawberries, asparagus, artichokes and cherries.
Clean out your medicine cabinet. Go through your medicine cabinet and throw away expired medicine. This includes prescriptions as well as over-the-counter medication like cough syrup.
Clean out your makeup drawer. Many women don’t realize makeup has an expiration date. Toss those old mascaras, foundations, eyeliners, and lipsticks, and replace them with non-toxic brands.
Transition to spring skincare. Your skin needs a different regimen as we say goodbye to winter and hello to spring. From cleansing to moisturizing to amping up on SPF, Murad Flagship Store Manager Miranda Rios offers these excellent tips to help you transition to spring skincare.
Refresh your workout. Now that temperatures are warming up, head outdoors for your workouts. A few ideas include brisk walks, bike rides, or hikes.
Visit your doctor. Yes, this takes up a lot of time and costs money, but preventative medicine is so important. Make doctor appointments with your primary care physician, dentist, gynecologist and dermatologist to take care of your annual check-ups.
