5 Tips for Staying Healthy When Moving

5 Tips for Staying Healthy When Moving

Whether you are moving across town or across the country, relocation can take its toll on your health and mental well-being.  The packing and unpacking, organizing and cleaning, and physical activity involved in a move can be stressful to say the least.  So, how do you manage to stay healthy when moving?  We’ve put together a couple of tips that can help you stay as fit as possible throughout a commercial or residential move.

 

1. Hit the Gym

If you can’t make it to the gym during your move, just make sure to go for a run or take a long, brisk walk.  This will help burn off any extra calories and relieve stress.

 

2. Maintain a Healthy Diet

Don’t miss breakfast and remember to eat plenty of fruits and vegetables.

 

3. Don’t Forget the Water.

Stay hydrated.  While you are packing, going through storage, or moving your furniture, it is easy to forget to drink water.

 

4. Stay Calm.

It can be stressful watching the movers transport your belongings.  Why not make a quick phone call or do a little cleaning during this time.  Unpacking can also be intimidating.  Remember, there is no race when you move, so focus on one room at a time.

 

5. Make Your Bed

The first thing you should unpack is your bedding.  This way, you definitely have a place to kick back and relax after a hard day’s work.
