Strength Training
"Lift weights 3-4 days per week. Muscle burns fat at rest!" says Paulina. According to the Mayo Clinic, strength and weight training help reduce body fat, preserve and increase lean muscle mass, and burn calories more efficiently. Strength training may also help you:
- Develop strong bones
- Manage your weight
- Enhance your quality of life
- Manage chronic conditions
- Sharpen your thinking skills
Sleep 7 Hours Per Night
"Sleep a minimum of 7 hours per night. This helps recovery and hormones," says Paulina. The Sleep Foundation explains that sleep is a mood booster, promotes heart health, regulates blood sugar, improves mental function, restores your immune system, helps relieve stress, and aids in weight loss.
