Balance through 2020

A new year means a new you (we know, cliché 😉). But it’s a good opportunity to see how you can improve your (mental) health. As a student or young professional, your life can sometimes get a bit difficult due social pressures, expectations, choices and a ton of impressions. For these exact reasons, we believe it’s important to have a good balance in both body and mind.  Wondering how you can implement this in life? We did some research for you; you’ll find the results here! 

Did you know being social benefits your health?  We are born into social groups and our whole lives, we are part of some sort of group or society. Even introverted people sometimes feel the need to interact with other people. We live in a day and age in which we spend a lot of time on our smartphones. This drastically reduces face-to-face contact with other people. But it is precisely this personal contact that is so important for both your physical and mental health. Curious about these benefits? Check out the importance and the top 5 health benefits of socialization! And after you read them, go hangout with your neighbors or join one of the events hosted in your building!
Can sports, physical activity, food and supplements help your mental health? Of course it helps! We understand that after a long and stressful day you just want to lay in bed with a pizza, but you will think twice about that when you read this.

It’s common knowledge that sports and physical activity is good for your body. But it also has a lot of positive effects on your mental health! Check out the top 6 benefits here. When you are done exercising (or just any other moment of the day) and you want to raise your spirits, try one of these 8 instant mood lifters.  We also made a selection of our favorite recipes that will boost your brain (try this when you need to study for an exam or cook together with your neighbor!). Wishing you a positive and bright 2020!
