Suggestions for Healthy Living

  • Suggestions for Healthy Living - there are things that you can do to make yourself feel better:
    • Eat healthy - Eat a well-balanced diet. Drink 8-10 glasses of water a day.
    • Get more sleep - Try to take naps while the baby is sleeping during the day. Ask for help from friends, family, or church; if someone comes over during waking hours to help, then you can take a longer nap. Have the baby sleep in another room; you will sleep more soundly.
    • Communicate - Share how you are feeling with someone in your life who is a good listener. Make certain that your husband, family, or friends know how you are feeling.
    • Exercise regularly - take a daily walk.
    • Stay active - Get out of the house periodically. Go on an outing with a family member or a friend. Go to the store. Go to a movie.
    • Avoid alcohol.
