Health: Keeping Fit during a Divorce Can Help You Get through the Breakup
Going through a divorce can be stressful and wreak havoc on your physical and mental health. But with a little extra effort, you can stay fit and healthy. Here are a few ways to get started:
1. Get cooking.
Take a healthy cooking class. It’s a way to treat yourself while you learn about nutritious foods and ways to prepare them. This is also a great way to meet new friends.
2. Get physical
Run a 5K. Join a gym. Take a yoga class. Engage in some physical activity that will get you out of the house and make you challenge your body.
3. Get social.
Make friends at the gym or at the cooking or yoga class. The interaction is good for your mind and soul.
4. Hit the grocery store.
Buy low-calorie frozen meals or other quick, easy-to-prepare meals. It’ll save you time and give you a reason not to head to the fast-food restaurant down the street for a calorie- and fat-laden burger and fries.
5. Share a meal.
Ask a friend to go grocery shopping. Cook a meal together once a week. Freeze the leftovers and reheat them for dinner the next night.
