When it comes to improving our health and wellbeing, often it’s not the drastic measures that can have the biggest impact, but rather the small, positive things that we do for ourselves throughout the day. Healthy habits and little rituals can make a big difference to how you feel, so if you’re short on time, try one of these quick fixes to get you back on track.
HIIT IT!

Avoid too many caffeinated drinks, which can also dehydrate you.
