Staying Healthy
By Alyssa Gallano
Our everyday lives can get very busy. It’s easy to put our health on the sidelines for other things. Getting yourself in order doesn’t have to be complicated. Here are four ways to keep your mind and body healthy.
1. Spend time in nature
Take a look at the
nature around you. For so many of us, stepping out into nature helps clear our
minds.
Aside from top attractions like Ellesmere Island and Pond Inlet, stargazing and Northern Lights tours are also popular.
If you think you’ve seen it all, you can always change the scenery.
2. Fresh fish and game
Looking for fresh
fish and game? Look no further than northern Canada’s fishing and hunting
scene.
Arctic Char is fished year-round and easily the most popular of all other species. As for wild game, you can hunt muskox and hare, among others.
After grabbing your licenses and permits, fish, and hunt to clear your mind and grab dinner at the same time.
3. Have a good relationship with food
Your body is your
temple – at least it should be. Diets, how our body absorbs energy, and fruits
and vegetables’ health benefits are very complex. Understanding how food fuels
you can help you gain a deeper appreciation for food.
Start by eating as clean as you can and focusing on nutrient-rich foods available in your area.
4. Make working out a habit
Working out can be fun – if you make a habit of it. Start off small and work out a few times a week instead of every day. Your workouts can be as simple as walking your dog or taking the long way home.
Remember, any way to your heart pumping counts as a workout, so get a move on!
