Look after your dental health

Dental health is extremely important, and poor oral hygiene can lead to a number of unpleasant dental issues such as tooth decay and cavities. Make your family’s dental health a priority by establishing a good oral hygiene routine that includes brushing twice a day, flossing once a day, and using mouthwash to rinse. Make sure you teach children the proper brushing technique, so they are able to clean their teeth and gums effectively. It is also important to attend routine examinations with your dentist. If anyone in your family is found to have any issues with their teeth, they can be referred to a specialist orthodontic clinic for further treatment to improve the appearance and health of their teeth and mouth.

Create healthy eating habits

By adopting a healthy diet, your family will feel happier, more energised, and be in better physical and mental health. Try to create healthy eating habits in your household like drinking water instead of fizzy drinks, and buying healthy snacks instead of having lots of sugary, fatty foods in the house. Teaching your children the value of a nutritious diet from an early age means they are far more likely to adopt healthy habits in later life. Cooking together is a great way to get children interested in healthy eating. Click here for ideas on healthy meals that make the perfect mid-week family dinner.

Exercise together

Exercise is not only great for your physical health but can also have a number of mental health benefits. This is because physical activity releases serotonin, which has been shown to effectively improve mood and reduce feelings of stress and anxiety. Exercising as a family is a great way to spend quality time together while improving your health. You could go for a family walk in the park, cycle around a lake, or visit a beautiful national park at the weekend and take part in several fun activities like hiking, rock climbing, or sailing. Keeping your family active is an essential part of maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

Go to bed early

Getting enough sleep in vital for good health. Help establish a good sleeping pattern by getting your family into a routine of going to bed early. You should also avoid using technology, like smartphones and laptops just before bed. It may be difficult to get the recommended eight hours sleep every night when you have a busy schedule and young children, but make sure to get as much quality sleep as possible. Try to go to bed at the same time every night and make sure to switch off from daily stressors like work commitments. Some simple ways to unwind before bed include taking a warm relaxing bath or drinking herbal tea like chamomile.
