To help men and women make the most of their time, leading fitness expert Denise Austin** teamed up with the makers of LISTERINE(R) to develop simple wellness tips especially for night.
"Taking care of your health and wellbeing at night doesn't have to take
a lot of time. It can easily be incorporated in your nightly rituals with
ingenuity, creativity and a small amount of time," says Denise Austin.
"There are simple things you can do for your wellbeing at night that can
help you restore and replenish for the next day and make a big difference
in your overall health."
Some of Denise's tips include:
-- If watching TV is a must, use commercial breaks to try simple toning
exercises, such as arm circles or sit ups. By resisting the opportunity
to fast-forward through commercials, you can fit in as much as six
minutes of exercise during a 30-minute program.
-- Make your nighttime health routines a priority. Wash your face, remove
contacts if you wear them, and brush, floss, and rinse with mouthwash
as part of a complete oral care regimen. It's especially important to
look after your oral health at night because your mouth is vulnerable
to germs when you sleep. Rinsing for just 30 seconds with a mouthwash
such as LISTERINE(R) Antiseptic offers 12 hours of protection against
plaque and gingivitis germs.
-- Restore and replenish with a good night of sleep. Nighttime is the
perfect opportunity to improve healthy rituals and routines. Make eight
hours of sleep a goal in order to give your body the time it needs to
restore and replenish.
-- Reflect on a positive moment that happened that day or visualize
something great that can happen tomorrow. Always end your night on a
happy not
