Seven healthy things - FIFA World Cup 2022

For all FIFA World Cup fans!


1- Eat healthy food. Try avoiding fast food; instead, eat a combination of different foods, including staple food, vegetables, fruit, and foods from animal sources, such as Dumplings, Sushi, Pad Thai, Naan and Chana Masala, Bibimbap, fresh Spring Rolls (Goi Cuon) and many more. For more information, visit Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.


2- Plan your time: Identify your daily priorities; this could be your exam, or helping your children get ready for school. For more information, visit MindTools.


3- Get enough rest: Ensure you get 7 to 9 hours of sleep and avoid screen time for ideally at least 2 hours before bed. For more information, visit the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.


4- Exercise regularly: Simple things that you could do, may be using stairs instead of an elevator, gardening, or doing some simple exercise at home, such as lunges, squats, and planks; for more tips on simple exercises you can do at your desk or home, visit Healthline.


5- Only bet what you can afford to lose: Set a realistic limit of how much you can afford; visit Safer Gambling Aotearoa.


6- Stay connected with friends and family: Make an effort to stay in touch with friends and family; FIFA is exciting to those who enjoy it but don’t forget that your friends and family might still need you. For more information on Stay Connected, visit Mental Health Awareness Week website.


7- Stay positive: Being mindful, sharing some kindness, and practising gratitude are just some of the things that we can do. For more tips on staying positive, visit Harvard Health Blog.
