Being cooped up inside during quarantine may have left you and your family feeling lethargic and less energized. With Family Health and Fitness Day approaching on 13 June 2020, there has never been a better time to gather your family and address your health and well-being. Remember that healthy eating and exercise is vital for your mental and physical health, especially during these uncertain times and beyond.

To celebrate Family Health and Fitness Day on 13 June 2020, we have compiled some ways for you and your family stay healthy and happy.

Healthy Eating
Whilst it may be easy to put healthy eating on the back burner when we are overwhelmed by work from home or feelings of stress, it is vital not to overlook the importance of a balanced and proper diet. Our nutrient intake plays a key role in keeping us energised and ensuring our health and wellbeing is prioritised. Meal planning and prep for you and your family can be an effective way to ensure you are hitting your nutrient needs ahead of time. Stocking up on protein consumption with healthy salads made of green vegetables such as spinach or broccoli, and lean meats like chicken and salmon are key sources of iron and zinc which can help you feeling fuelled for longer. Keeping healthy snacks around the house such as nuts, fruits, popcorn, hummus, and rice cakes can ensure your family are fuelled and energised any time of the day.

Family Fitness
Physical activity has been shown to release endorphins and serotonin into the body, working to increase feelings of joy and satisfaction. Exercising with your family can be highly beneficial in keeping up motivation, keeping us accountable and adding a fun activity to your daily routine. Walking, jogging, ball activities or cycling are great choices for family physical activity, and beneficial in maintaining long-term health and happiness.

Supplement with Ubiquinol
Supplementing with Ubiquinol, the active form of naturally occurring antioxidant CoQ10 (Coenzyme Q10) may be the key to supporting energy levels to ensure you can function at your prime. Our natural levels of Ubiquinol decline as we age, making it increasingly harder stay energized and keep up with busy family life. Alongside a healthy diet and lifestyle, adding a ubiquinol supplement may help boost your energy levels and assist in maintaining your overall health.

Keep these tips in mind for this year’s Family Health and Fitness Day to help maintain your health all year round.
