Healthy Habits | Mountain Surgery Center
2022 is in full swing and every day is a fresh beginning! Mountain Surgery Center of New Jersey is here to help you by providing some healthy habits. Whether you are suffering from pain or looking for a healthier daily routine, we want to provide you with a few healthy habits to adopt that will allow you to feel your best every day.
Keep Track of Your Health with Frequent Checkups
Understanding your physical needs will help you get the most out of the everyday by being aware of your health. It is important to go for checkups frequently to ensure that your body is healthy. Doing so will allow you to catch potential health issues before a problem arises.
According to Healthline, going to the doctor once a year is recommended if you are over the age of 50. However, it is important to understand your family's medical history and your own pre-existing conditions before determining how often you should see a doctor. Make sure to schedule an appointment with your primary care doctor and/or specialist to provide yourself with future relief.
Maintain a Balanced Sleep Schedule
It is no question that a healthy sleep leaves you feeling recharged and refreshed in the morning. Your sleep schedule directly impacts your health. Hence, it is important to maintain a balanced routine to keep your body's internal clock working properly.
Sleep expert, Dr. Michael Breus, advises keeping the temperature in your room cool before bedtime and avoiding caffeine and alcohol before bed. This will help you achieve REM sleep faster.
Furthermore, getting enough sleep helps you maintain healthy cortisol levels and reduces stress and anxiety. Efficient sleep will contribute to an overall better mood and even enhance your performance.
If you take away one habit from this list it should most definitely be maintaining a balanced sleep schedule.
Ease Your Acute or Chronic Pain
Are you experiencing acute or chronic pain? Don’t allow this pain to sit with you throughout your day-to-day? If you have already tried physical therapy and exercise but continue to experience discomfort – look into pain management. One of the various procedures performed at Mountain Surgery Center is Pain Management. Patients may undergo injections or other procedures to treat or relieve pain.
You can take charge of your health by making life-changing steps each day. Being aware of your current habits will allow you to better understand what steps are needed to take in order to jumpstart a healthier lifestyle. Visiting your doctor for frequent checkups, maintaining a consistent sleep schedule by getting adequate sleep every night, and alleviating or treating your pain are just a few healthy habits we recommend adopting. At Mountain Surgery Center, we want you to be the best version of yourself and live a long, healthy life and there is no better time to start!
