5 tips for a healthy lifestyle as a newspaper deliverer

1. Start your day with a nutritious breakfast: A good breakfast will give you the energy to start the day strong. Choose something quick and healthy, like a smoothie with spinach, banana, and a scoop of protein powder, or a whole wheat sandwich with avocado and egg. This will help you stay alert and focused during your delivery round and start your day off right. Check out our breakfast recipes.

2. Stay hydrated: It’s important to stay hydrated during your delivery round, especially if you’re covering long distances. Bring a reusable water bottle and drink regularly. Add a little lemon or mint for a refreshing taste.

3. Stretch before and after your round: Prevent muscle soreness and injuries by warming up your body properly. A quick two to five minute stretch before you start and again after you finish can do wonders for your flexibility and muscle recovery. Focus on your legs, back, and shoulders.

4. Opt for healthy snacks: If you get hungry during your round, make sure you have healthy snacks on hand. Think of a piece of fruit or a low-sugar energy/protein bar. This will help you maintain your energy levels without getting a sugar crash.

5. Get enough sleep: A good night’s sleep is crucial for a healthy lifestyle, especially if you have to get up early to deliver newspapers. Try to get 7 to 8 hours of sleep every night and keep a regular sleep schedule, even on weekends. This will help your body recover and ensure that you wake up feeling fresh and fruity every morning.
