5 Simple Health Habits to Start This Month, Backed by Pharmacy Experts

Looking for ways to feel more “healthy” each day with actionable habits? Don’t worry—we’ve got you covered. At MedPlus, your trusted and nearest local pharmacy, we believe that staying healthy can be very simple. Sometimes, small changes can make a big difference in the long run.

Here are 5 simple health habits you can start this month—educated by pharmacy experts and perfect for any lifestyle.

🥤 1. Always Stay Hydrated — Your Body Will Appreciate It

Why it matters:
With staying hydrated, your body will always be in its prime—from your skin and digestion to your energy levels and focus.

Pharmacy tip:
Aim for a minimum of 6–8 glasses of water a day. If you take medication regularly, please be sure to ask your pharmacist if water intake affects your dosage or timing.

💡 Fun Fact: Certain medications can dehydrate you—which is why our pharmacists can guide you on how much water you need based on your prescriptions.

🛏️ 2. Get Better Sleep—Not Just More Sleep

Why it matters:
Lack of sleep may weaken your immune system, impact mental health, and even raise your risk of chronic diseases.

Pharmacy tip:
What to do if you have trouble sleeping? Avoid caffeine or screen time at least an hour before bed. Ask our team about non-addictive sleep aids available at our pharmacy.

🛒 We deliver trusted over-the-counter sleep solutions right to your door.

🥗 3. Start Adding One Healthy Food to Your Daily Routine

Why it matters:
Healthy eating doesn’t have to be overwhelming. Start by adding just one healthy item a day—like fruits, vegetables, or whole grains.

Pharmacy tip:
If you feel like you’re low on energy or missing key nutrients, a daily multivitamin may help. Our pharmacists can recommend nutrients tailored to your age and lifestyle.

🚚 Available at MedPlus with free delivery—because wellness should be easy and affordable.

🏃 4. Move a Little Every Day—No Gym Required

Why it matters:
You don’t need to run marathons or go to the gym to stay healthy. Just 20–30 minutes of walking, stretching, or light exercise a day can improve your heart, mood, and muscles. Consistency is the key.

Pharmacy tip:
If joint pain is holding you back, ask us about arthritis-friendly supplements or topical pain relievers available at your pharmacy near me.

👟 Need help choosing the right one? Our pharmacists are always just a call away from you.

💊 5. Stick to Your Medications—And Ask When You’re Unsure

Why it matters:
Skipping doses or taking the wrong medicine can lead to serious health issues, especially with long-term conditions like diabetes, blood pressure, or cholesterol.

Pharmacy tip:
Use pill organizers, phone alarms, or our auto-refill program so you never miss a dose. Have questions about side effects? We’re here to help—no appointment needed.

📦 Plus, we offer free medication delivery.—making life easier for you or your loved ones, because your health is our priority.
