Sometimes life gets in the way of taking care of your health. You get lazy or busy or distracted. One day, you wake up and realize you have no energy, carry too many extra pounds, and feel awful. You know you have to get it together and think about revamping your diet or starting that new, incredible exercise regimen. But it all feels so overwhelming.
That can all seem doubly true amid a pandemic that raises new difficulties in fixing your lifestyle or reaching out to people you need for moral or other support. And yet, it is especially during this kind of threat to our health that it becomes even more essential to tend to our bodies and minds.
