Build Healthy Habits
Although your To-Do list may be long, don’t forget that your body needs the right foods for optimal performance. Avoid processed foods and choose healthy options instead.
Take it Easy
Work smart by giving your body self-care as needed. Try to take a break that doesn’t involve checking your email or social media. Don’t be afraid to put down your phone or step away from your laptop for 20 minutes and move around.
Avoid #Team No Sleep like the Plague
Those who don’t sleep are slow to think. It’s okay to take a couple of days off for household tasks and downtime. Think of your business journey as a marathon, not a sprint. Do your best each day, and pace yourself.
Stay Connected
If we’re honest, this journey can be isolating, and if you’re not careful, it can also lead to mental health challenges. You can fight this problem with virtual check-ins with colleagues and support teams. Don’t neglect your human need for connections for the sake of productivity.
Connect with a mentor
Do not be afraid to find a mentor to help you grow and develop your skills and ideas. There are leaders in your industry who would be happy to share what they’ve learned on their journey to success. Find a mentor and set clear goals for you both.

Oxford's definition:

The rhizome is the part most people use. It can be fresh, dried, and powdered, in oil form, or as a juice. Its uses range from foods to cosmetics.
Scientific research supports the findings of the health benefits of ginger and points to its main bioactive compound, gingerol, as the root of ginger's powerful medicinal properties.
The list of remedies ginger provides is pretty expansive, but the most simple uses are to fight colds and flu, aid digestion, and have anti-inflammatory effects.
A 2011 study found that topically using ginger, cinnamon, sesame oil, and mastic (resin from the gum mastic tree) can help reduce the pain and stiffness associated with osteoarthritis.
Menstrual cramps are a monthly dilemma for some. Luckily, ginger is a powerful antidote for dysmenorrhea. It's a much safer option for your stomach and effortlessly takes the place of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
Ginger helps stop nausea in its tracks. The root is known to be safe and effective for morning sickness, chemotherapy-related nausea, and surgery-induced nauseousness. Click below to continue reading about how ginger can benefit you in your daily life.
