Dear Annie: I’m knee-deep in a demanding job, and I absolutely love it.
The problem is, I can tell my health is slipping. I’m not getting a lot of sleep, I rarely have time to hit the gym, and my meals usually consist of fast or frozen food due to time constraints.
My body is starting to feel the consequences, and I want to feel good again without sacrificing too much time. Any tips? — Healthy Hacks Seeker
Dear Healthy Hacks: If you don’t take care of yourself, you’ll burn out, and your body won’t let you continue doing that demanding job you love so much.
There are a few ways to stay healthy without sacrificing convenience:
- Take some time every weekend to meal prep your food for the week. This doesn’t have to be time-intensive; just throw a bunch of veggies in the oven or cook a few chicken breasts. That way, you won’t resort to fast food when you’re in a pinch.
- Go on walks. Even if you don’t have time for a full hour in the gym, squeezing in a couple of 10-minute walks per day can make a huge difference.
- Prioritize sleep. You’ll be far more productive and efficient during your working hours if you make sleep a priority. Go to bed and wake up at the same time every day to keep yourself feeling energized.
Good luck!
